The Need

75% of the globe is covered with water. The vast expanse of the sea and its limited natural sources are subject to a wide variety of misuse and abuse: illegal fishery, drug smuggling, trafficking, illegal immigration and security threats, all challenge countries to improve their ability to monitor and control their exclusive economic zones (360 km from shore).

To date, more than 90% of countries’ exclusive economic zones remain unmonitored and unclaimed, exposing them to harmful elements.

Our Solution

Windward offers a game-changing technology that allows you to see farther than ever before by applying a satellite-based comprehensive and accurate maritime awareness solution.

Our solution is based on a unique proprietary system which integrates and synchronizes numerous earth observation satellites, fishery vessel monitoring systems and other terrestrial data, into one unified system.

Windward’s unique algorithms are able to deduce maritime insight out of existing satellite data. Our added value processing and complex algorithms (data fusion, path prediction and risk analysis) produce meaningful and actionable recommendations (e.g. sending a patrol vessel\aircraft to intercept a ship at sea in its real location), while combining maritime and satellite expertise.

Our turnkey solution includes:

• Analyzing the client’s specific needs
• Defining required update level and operational requirements
• Planning the optimal coverage using all available satellite sensors.
• Integrating all available and required satellite data providers (SAR, AIS etc.)
• Delivering the required data using our proprietary system, and providing an interface to existing C4I systems, coastal and maritime assets.
