Many oil and gas offshore rigs lie in the midst of exclusive economic zones, far from the vigilant eyes and sensors of the state authorities. Today, security threats start in deep waters, long before they reach the facilities themselves.

While dealing with offshore rigs, a long alert period is especially important - and can be the difference between a catastrophe and a successful prevention. Container vessels, tankers and large fishing vessels - all these might be used for terrorist attacks on strategic facilities.

Windward’s system enables offshore security officers to establish a peripheral security circle which identifies threats long before they reach their destination, and intercepts them at a safe distance.
