Purpose-built for mission-critical port security operations

  • Thermal aerial view of a port perimeter at night with intruder highlighted

    Perimeter security verification

    Automated response to alarm triggers delivers live video in 60-90 seconds, distinguishing real threats from false positives.

  • Aerial view of a container yard with stacked shipping containers being scanned for anomalies

    Container yard surveillance

    Detect open containers, broken seals, and tampering across 50-200 acre yards with multiple automated flights per shift.

  • Drone capturing hull markings on a docked container vessel for AIS identity verification

    Vessel identity verification

    One-click drone dispatch to any vessel verifies AIS identity, detects dark fleet operations, and documents ship-to-ship transfers.

  • Aerial view of mooring lines and deck activities on a vessel berthing at port

    Berthing operations monitoring

    Monitor deck activities, mooring configurations, and unsafe conditions during loading operations without deploying personnel to vessels.

  • Drone surveying a port crane and pier infrastructure for predictive maintenance

    Predictive infrastructure inspection

    Weekly aerial surveys of cranes, piers, and warehouses enable predictive maintenance at 4x frequency with 69% less time.

  • Thermal image of port fuel storage and pier showing detected leak signatures

    Environmental monitoring and response

    Thermal imaging detects leaks before visible spills. Automated response missions document extent and guide containment crews.

  • Aerial view of a port gate and loading zone with vehicle congestion highlighted

    Traffic flow intelligence

    Identify bottlenecks at gates and loading zones. Time-series analysis reveals congestion patterns supporting infrastructure investment decisions.

  • Aerial view of post-storm damage at a port pier and berthing area

    Rapid damage assessment

    Survey multiple berths and infrastructure in minutes after severe weather without exposing inspection personnel to hazardous conditions.

AI agents built for maritime operations

Assist port security and operations teams by automatically highlighting critical details during incidents, reducing manual video review and decision pressure.

  • Thermal image showing a person walking amid stacked shipping containers at a port

    Intrusion classification

    Distinguish human intruders from vehicles, wildlife, and environmental false positives, enabling intelligence-driven guard dispatch to verified threats only.

  • A busy shipping port with stacked cargo containers and one container open in the foreground

    Container anomaly detection

    Identify open container doors, broken seals, unauthorized vehicles in restricted zones, and suspicious loitering patterns across shifts automatically.

  • Large container ship docked at a port with stacked shipping containers and cranes

    Vessel identity verification

    Compare hull markings against AIS-broadcast identities to detect dark fleet operations broadcasting false information to evade sanctions.

  • Two large cargo ships docked side by side near a port at sunset

    Transfer activity detection

    Detect cargo transfers between vessels, unusual deck activity timing, and personnel movements indicating potential smuggling or illicit operations.

  • Close-up of a rusted and cracked yellow metal joint on a port crane

    Infrastructure defect detection

    Detect rust, cracks, material degradation, and displaced components, enabling predictive maintenance scheduling before failures cause operational downtime.

  • Aerial night view of port fuel storage and pipelines with thermal anomalies highlighted

    Thermal leak detection

    Identify temperature anomalies in fuel storage and transfer areas indicating leaks before visible spills develop or pollution spreads.

  • Aerial view of a busy shipping port with containers, cranes, and trucks lined up at terminal areas

    Congestion pattern analysis

    Count vehicles in zones, measure dwell times, and detect bottlenecks at gates and loading areas for throughput optimization.

  • Night aerial view of a port with cargo ships docked and cranes loading containers under bright lights

    Alarm correlation engine

    Integrate perimeter sensors, access control, and counter-drone alerts with aerial intelligence to prioritize operator notifications by threat level.
