Domain 02 Sea
On the roadmapPlanned to run on the same models and command picture as the rest of Vamocles.
Vamocles tracks every vessel in the picture, flags the ones that go dark, keeps routes clear of danger and watches the pipelines and cables on the seabed below.
Every contact becomes one track, whichever sensor saw it: AIS reports, coastal radar, satellite and drone imagery. Course, speed and history stay with the ship as it passes from one feed to the next.
A ship that stops transmitting does not disappear. Vamocles matches every visual contact to a transmission, flags the ones that go quiet and keeps their last reported position on the chart.
Restricted areas, safety zones and hazards sit on the same chart as the traffic. When a course crosses one, the system proposes a safe route and the bridge decides.
Approaches, anchorages, berths and the coast between them, watched from the shore, the air and orbit. Loitering, unusual approaches and unannounced arrivals are raised early, with the evidence attached.
Underwater vehicles inspect pipelines and cables along planned routes, and every finding is pinned to its point on the line. On the surface, a vessel that slows, anchors or loiters above one is flagged.
From a mayday or a person overboard to a coordinated search: drift worked out, search areas drawn, drones and vessels tasked, and every rescuer working from the same picture.
The picture follows the water down. The vessels above a pipeline and the vehicle inspecting it share one screen, so a ship that anchors over a cable is never someone else’s problem.
Five vessels off a rocky coast, a restricted zone and a pipeline on the seabed beneath it.
How a dark vessel is caught
Switching off a transponder hides a ship from anyone relying on AIS alone. It does not hide it from radar, from orbit or from a drone.
AIS reports, radar returns and imagery arrive on one chart, each tagged with its source.
Every contact that can be seen is matched to a transmission. Most match. The ones that don’t stand out.
A contact with no transmission is flagged with its last reported position and what lies on its course.
People decide: send a drone to verify, notify the coastguard, warn the assets in its path.
Where it matters
The same picture serves a harbour master, an energy operator, a coastguard and a fleet manager.
Inspection routes planned and run by underwater vehicles, findings pinned to the line, and restricted zones on the surface held while the work goes on below.
Cable routes on the chart, with an alert when a vessel slows, drifts or drops anchor above one.
Approaches, anchorages and the coastline between ports watched as one, with unannounced arrivals and loitering raised early.
Distress calls, drift, search areas and every unit tasked to them, shared between the rescue centre, the air and the boats.
Marine protected areas and closed fisheries drawn on the chart, and the vessels that linger inside them flagged with their track.
Every ship in the fleet on one screen, routes checked against restricted and high-risk waters, and a safe alternative proposed before a course becomes a problem.
Search and rescue at sea
Vamocles turns a last known position into a search plan and puts every unit on it, so the rescue centre, the drones and the boats work from the same picture.
Floods, forests, mines and borders, and the rescues that start where the coast ends.
The line on the seabed makes landfall and joins the grid. Vamocles watches it as one network.
