Despite an international effort to ensure safe passage through the world’s most treacherous waters, pirates escalated their attacks in 2010 for the 4th straight year, striking more ships and taking more hostages than in any year on record according to the International Maritime Bureau. Ship owners have been seeking ways to protect their vessels, but the existing technology on board ships is not advanced enough to detect the small, fast boats favoured by pirates. Nidar provides ship owners with cost effective solutions to overcome these challenges, by enabling crew to identify security threats sufficiently in advance to avoid them or to seek appropriate assistance or help.
Recommended combination of Nidar modules for Cargo ships: Surface Surveillance Module, Above Water Laser Deterrence Module, Intelligent Threat Classification and Tracking and Command & Control Station.
