Japan Coast Guard orders a pair of SeaGuardians from GA-ASI
As informed, the contract follows JCG’s ongoing agreement with GA-ASI for operating SeaGuardian, which began in April 2022.
SeaGuardian is a medium-altitude, long-endurance RPA system that can fly for 24 hours or more, depending on the configuration.
GA-ASI has strengthened its maritime wide area surveillance (MWAS) for Japan with Optix+, which gathers information from the SeaGuardian sensors, as well as other data sources, displaying the full picture of surveillance information for its operator.
According to the company, this functionality makes it easy to task and direct its Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information in real time.
GA-ASI’s Optix+ software suite rapidly correlates and exploits collected data into an easily shared common operational picture. Having multi-source correlated data enables automatic detection of anomalous behaviors over waters, the firm noted.
