MDA trend is toward multiple use and
increased integration
 Expansion of AIS use
o

o
o
National systems
Sharing of data
Virtual navigation
Application use of binary
channels
 Increased volume of
information

o
44 Countries to Date are sharing AIS data openly via MSSIS.
Integrated systems
SmALL vessel tracking
Additional sensors

There are a variety of Maritime Surveillance
and Security Requirements
 Vessel Compliance
VTMS; Vessel Traffic Management Systems
AIS; Automatic Identification Systems
LRIT; Long Range Identification & Tracking
VMS; Vessel Monitoring Systems
 Communication & Safety
SAR; Search and Rescue
RCC; Rescue Coordination Center
GMDSS; Global Maritime Distress & Safety System
DSC; Digital Selective Calling
 Port Operations
TOS;
Marine Ops;
Cargo Mgmt
Environmental Monitoring
 Security & Defence
PACS; Port Access Control Systems
SSAS; Ship Security Alert System
WSS; Waterside Security Systems
CR; Coastal Radar
Maritime Patrols
Military Surveillance & Response Systems
 Environmental Monitoring
Coastal Engineering
Environmental Protection
No system is dedicated to providing comprehensive MDA

MDA Convergence

MDA C2 Overview
• Specialised sensor
pre-processing
• Data fusion and track
management
• “Rhythm of life”
analysis to underpin:
• Development of Rules
Engine
• Establishment of
electronic gates and
fences (both spatial
and temporal)
Hormuz Strait
• Common operating

Port/ Coastal Convergence
• VTMS (cooperative
tracks), security system
(include non-cooperative
tracks) essentially
interested in same tracks
• Convergence (and data
exchange) will provide
mutual benefit
• Can combine
environmental monitoring
into the port/coastal mix
Commercial-In-Confidence
Waterside/Landside Integration
• Systems need to address both
surveillance (reduce likelihood of
incident) and response
• Port incident will require land
response
• Will require incident response
system (such as ERIS)
• Need to integrate waterside into
the landside component
• Needs to be GIS based
• Ship can be considered as
mobile building in port for
incident response
• Can be achieved through CVNC

Conclusion
Future Systems need to be
 Multi-dimensional
o
o
o
o
Security
Safety
Environment
Economics
 Interoperable
o between systems,
o agencies and
o governments
 Scalable
o

o
o
Facilities
Ports and harbor areas
Coastlines
National borders
