2024 Market Trend: Enhanced Security as Radio Frequency Signal Detection from Space Transforms Maritime Security
As the CEO of a company specializing in space-based maritime surveillance, I foresee 2024 as a pivotal year for Earth Observation. We’re entering an era where the integration of radio frequency signal detection from space will transform maritime monitoring. This technology not only enhances maritime security but also plays a crucial role in environmental protection by tracking illicit activities at sea. The trend is clear: advanced EO technologies, particularly in maritime domains, are not just about data collection anymore; they’re about delivering precise, actionable intelligence to safeguard our oceans and global maritime interests.

Exhaustive maritime situation awareness is a critical global 2024 initiative. Unseenlabs is the world leader in radio frequency (RF) data and solutions for maritime domain awareness. Unseenlabs processes and analyzes this RF data, and provides unique knowledge for national security operations, for environmental protection, and for an increasing number of applications in the commercial sector.

Since 90% of goods are transported by sea, tracking those goods is an ever-present concern. New maritime routes open up and pirate ships and illegal vessels compromise the safety of people and the security of goods. Ships have figured out that they can cut their embedded active beacon, their automatic identification system, to vanish from surveillance screens. Unseenlabs uses innovative electromagnetic technology to enable it to track any vessel, anywhere, and anytime.

After seeing the upward trend in utilizing these capabilities, Unseenlabs expanded their satellite fleet to include BRO-10 and BRO-11 in November 2023. These are the tenth and eleventh satellites of Unseenlabs’ constellation which are dedicated to the geolocation of vessels at sea and were launched to meet the needs of a growing demand for space-based RF. Unseenlabs owns the world’s most developed fleet of independent satellites for RF signals detection. The constellation is designed to provide data to clients to follow maritime traffic, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. This means that, at any time and in any weather, pirates and illegal ships can be detected and dealt with, making the seas a safer place for shipping and travel.
