Offshore asset protect systems must provide a means of detecting unknown vessels, allowing them to be identified and monitored, as well as providing "Command and Control" to permit direction, vectoring and interception. The ObsTek/Ultra electronics SML Technologies system acheives this by combining a high performance radar with sophisticated signal processing and powerful trackers. The radar track output is combined with tracks from an AIS network, a patrol boat Transponder system(SID), and small craft/fishing vessel Software, resulting in identification of own assets and unknown vessels. The fused tracks of each contact can be relayed via any communications link to the Command and Control center. Track information can also be sent via the Patrol Boat transponder-data link to Offshore Patrol Vessels. In the control center the tracks are displayed, overlayed on electronic charts and maps, using PC based radar and Command and Control database(C2DB).

The resultant, network-centric Offshore Asset Protection system allows the operator to easily identify unknown radar returns. Patrol Boats can be given information about target vessels and can be provided with intercept information from the command center or calculate their own intercept course when equipped with SID Transponders and Safe Navigator displays.
