Maritime Domain Awareness
Watch a coastline the length of India's from the air.
The challenge
Ship-launched and shore-based aircraft that patrol exclusive economic zones, track vessels and support naval task groups.
Our approach
India's maritime interests span thousands of kilometres of coastline and millions of square kilometres of ocean. Crewed patrol aircraft cannot cover it, and satellites cannot watch it continuously. Autonomous aircraft can.
Nyx patrols from shore with maritime radar and vessel identification. Vesper launches from small-deck ships to extend a task group's horizon. Both feed the Noctis maritime picture, which correlates vessel tracks across every sensor on the network.
Outcomes
What the force gets
01
Exclusive economic zone patrol
Shore-based Nyx aircraft sweep patrol areas on schedules that no crewed fleet could sustain.
02
Organic ship-based ISR
Vesper gives corvettes and patrol vessels their own airborne sensor without a hangar or flight deck crew.
03
Dark-vessel detection
Radar returns that do not match a broadcast identity are flagged and tracked automatically.
