Maritime Operations


Providing continuous surveillance of critical shipping lanes and vital coastlines.

A massive coastline plagued by transport of illegal goods. Existing manned and unmanned reconnaissance assets are unable to provide the broad coverage needed.

Global Observer® at 65,000 feet in altitude can provide coverage of about 600 miles in diameter. Global Observer using an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) payload can provide long-term surveillance for analysts to observe suspicious activity, determine patterns of behavior and identify threats to enable rapid and effective countermeasures/actions.

In addition, Global Observer can provide:

  • Dedicated Communications Support to other UAVs
  • Global positioning systems (GPS) services including GPS Augmentation for High Power Anti-Jam/Jammer Tracking
  • Broadband communications relay for military, government and commercial applications
  • Detection and Location of Electromagnetic Interference (DCS)
  • Tactical On-station Weather Monitoring and Data
  • Enhancement of Freedom to Commit NSS to Higher Threat Areas/Priorities
  • Dynamic Tasking to Theater Commanders
  • Provision of Limited Reconstitution Capability
  • Persistent, Actionable Intelligence (Optical, IR, GMTI)
  • Battlespace Awareness (Airspace Collision Avoidance)

For high-value missions requiring persistent coverage, Global Observer provides a solution that makes sense.
