Maritime Geospatial Solutions

The demand for immediate maritime domain awareness is growing. As a result, Harris has partnered with exactEarth Ltd to deliver a real-time global tracking and information solution that optimizes a global satellite constellation for AIS. We offer exactView^TM RT powered by Harris, an advanced ship tracking solution with continuous global coverage and real-time connectivity for unmatched maritime domain awareness.

Satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) Technology

Although relatively new, satellite AIS technology has fundamentally changed the landscape for monitoring the maritime domain. Improving upon existing AIS technology already deployed aboard all large vessels and many smaller vessels around the globe, satellite AIS is truly revolutionary in providing a complete and global picture of the world’s maritime shipping environment.
