Operational use case

Port and maritime security: one picture from seabed to sky

A port has to watch the water, the seabed, the air above it, and the RF around it — vessels, divers, drones, and spoofed positions — across systems that were never meant to share a screen.

Roadmap

Port security is a three-dimensional problem watched by two-dimensional tools. DaggerOS™ fuses the surface, subsurface, air, and RF pictures of a harbor into one operator view — vessels, small craft, divers, and drones on one picture — with every response held under a single human gate. BlackEcho™ reasons and recommends; the operator authorizes.

The problem

A port authority tracks AIS and radar for vessels, sonar for the subsurface, cameras for the waterfront, and increasingly drone detection for the air. Each runs alone. A small craft going dark, a diver near a hull, and a drone overhead are three separate alerts on three systems, and no one holds them together.

How DaggerOS handles it

DaggerOS correlates surface, subsurface, air, and RF detections into one deduplicated picture and flags behavior — a vessel that stops reporting, a track that does not match its transponder. Passive-first sensing builds much of the picture without emitting. Every cue is a recommendation; a human authorizes any response, and the decision is written to a verifiable record.

Domains in play

Maritime domain awareness and undersea/subsurface carry the water picture, EO/IR the waterfront, counter-UAS the air, and ISR fusion binds them into one operator view.

Evidence

Roadmap. Counter-UAS and ISR fusion are demonstrated in other missions; the full port picture from seabed to sky has not been shown as one integrated system and is marked Roadmap. See the maritime-domain-awareness and undersea-subsurface domain pages.

FAQ

Does this include subsurface detection?

The subsurface layer is part of the design and marked Roadmap. We do not claim a demonstrated undersea capability where none has been shown.

Who operates this — Coast Guard, CBP, or the port?

It fits federal maritime agencies and port authorities alike, because the problem — one picture across surface, subsurface, air, and RF — is the same regardless of who holds it.
