\u00ae<\/sup><\/i> and begin in October 2022.<\/p>\nSeaGuardian<\/i> will be used to conduct wide-area maritime surveillance to support JCG’s missions, which include search and rescue, disaster response, and maritime law enforcement. This project follows a series of successful JCG flight trials in 2020 that used SeaGuardian<\/i> to validate the same JCG missions in accordance with Japan’s “Policy on Strengthening the Maritime Security Systems,” using unmanned aerial vehicles to perform maritime wide-area surveillance.<\/p>\n
“We’re proud to support the JCG’s maritime surveillance mission with our SeaGuardian<\/i> UAS,” said Linden Blue, CEO of GA-ASI. “The system’s ability to provide affordable, extremely long-endurance airborne surveillance with long-range sensors in the maritime domain is unprecedented.”<\/p>\n
SeaGuardian<\/i> features a multi-mode maritime surface-search radar with an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging mode, an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver, and High-Definition – Full-Motion Video sensor equipped with optical and infrared cameras. This sensor suite enables real-time detection and identification of surface vessels over thousands of square nautical miles and provides automatic tracking of maritime targets and correlation of AIS transmitters with radar tracks.<\/p>\n
SkyGuardian\u00ae<\/sup><\/i> and SeaGuardian\u00ae<\/sup><\/i> are revolutionizing the long-endurance RPAS market by providing all-weather capability and full compliance with STANAG-4671 (NATO UAS airworthiness standard). This feature, along with our operationally proven, collision-avoidance radar, enables flexible operations in civil airspace.<\/p>\nAbout GA-ASI<\/strong><\/p>\nGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
