Promoting Maritime Security with the RockSTAR

Marine-Security

Challenges in Maritime Security

In the anti-piracy and maritime security world, it’s vital to know the situation of your remote teams.

You can’t rely on the communication facilities aboard the vessels you’re protecting, both for privacy reasons and in case of possible compromise.

We provide RockSTAR units to a large number of marine security and anti-piracy firms worldwide. They provide accurate tracking, allowing the position of your teams / vessels to be monitored while in transit. They also give a secure and private means of communication for onboard team leaders.

The Solution - RockSTAR device

In the anti-piracy and marine security world, it’s vital to know the situation of your remote teams.

Typically, when marine security teams deploy onboard a vessel, they take a RockSTAR device with them. Before the start of the transit the unit is turned on and will start transmitting a position fix once per hour (or whatever the customer chooses).Back at HQ, the customer uses The Core management system to monitor the positions of all their teams/vessels.

In the case of an emergency, the RockSTAR unit can alert HQ, using either the dedicated red button or, even better, the messaging facilities to indicate the type of alert and any other relevant details.
