Protecting one’s own coastline is becoming increasingly challenging. From Navies who want to set virtual fences and monitor traffic around their Naval bases, to Coast Guards and Customs who want to strengthen surveillance of sensitive areas and to Islands cities or countries who want to protect their inner waters: Coastal surveillance organisations thus need state of the art, reliable sensors that operate in all weather conditions.
▶ Main challenges of coastal surveillance
Coastal surveillance is a critical function to ensure the security of a nation, and countries face specific challenges : from piracy, hijacking, trafficking and illegal immigration with possible shipwrecks to intrusions into ports or naval bases or into critical infrastructures. Coastlines may also be threatened by swarms of fast manned and unmanned surface boats, submarines, and manned or unmanned aerial vehicles. Governments need comprehensive security systems to anticipate and adapt to these sophisticated threats.
