Overview of maritime situational awareness research at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research TNO
conference paper
This paper gives an overview of research at TNO in the field of maritime situational
awareness (MSA). Our expertise on radar, sonar, electro-optics, electronic support
measures and tracking/fusion is typically employed for vessel detection and vessel
anomaly detection. Illustrative examples of these applications are presented addressing
the detection of small boats, over the horizon detection, spatial resolution enhancement
of imagery, emitter localisation and identification, a network centric approach for fusing
vessel detections and the modelling of vessel behaviour. Furthermore it is explained
how recent activities at TNO include the development of a simulator for 3-D maritime
situational awareness.
