In today’s increasingly interconnected world, joint surveillance and operations involving multiple sources of information, geographical areas and responsibilities are ever more common. Combined efforts are undertaken for operations such as crisis management (e.g. oil spill) or the fight against organised crime (smuggling, illegal immigration, piracy, terrorism…). The success of joint actions relies on the ability to anticipate and respond to events affecting or taking advantage of multiple locations and responsibility areas, preserve the individual vision and responsibilities of the different stakeholders, keep control of information ownership, and to sort and present the relevant information to the right operator. Thales’s integrated solutions, based on Service Oriented Architecture and web services, allows for:
- Selective Data Dissemination, on a need-to-know basis, to support multi agency cooperation
- Comprehensive Maritime Operational Picture based on multiple systems and databases
- Access to services (weather, environment, intelligence…)
- Improved notice and response, for greater mission efficiency and cost savings
