Securing the Maritime Domain in the Era of Hybrid Warfare.

Understand, predict and prevent hybrid maritime threats with AI-driven intelligence.

How it works

Understand

BlueShadow’s AI-powered Contact Correlation Engine analyzes multi-sensor and multi-source data to cut through deception and illuminate dark ships. This brings immediate clarity to complex situations.

  • Multi-Sensor/Multi-Source fusions enable our AI to understand complex scenarios and fill in the blanks.
  • Wide Area Common Operating Picture (COP) allows for real-time views of operational information.
  • Enhanced Operating Picture (EOP) in vicinity of your Critical Infrastructure adds deeper analytics and predictive capabilities.

How it works

Predict

Building on the verified insights of the Enhanced Operating Picture, BlueShadow’s AI-powered Threat Assessment Engine simplifies complex data into actionable intelligence.

  • A threat score is kept on every vessel to quickly identify if there are historical behavior indicating potential threats.
  • Critical Infrastructure Risk Scores quantify critical infrastructure vulnerability.
  • Alerts are provided via SMS, calls, Pop-up data for operators and drone deployments for further investigations.

How it works

Prevent

BlueShadow’s AI Event Response Engine automatically opens virtual Event Rooms, alerts key stakeholders, and Automatically alerts stakeholders and deploys drones based on threat severity.

  • In-situation data is streamed live to operators to monitor the incident in real-time.
  • Warnings are issued to threat platforms to eliminate the risk as early as possible.
  • Possibility of direct action based on jurisdiction and response plans.

Industries

Whether protecting national waters, securing critical infrastructure, or ensuring safe and sustainable operations, BlueShadow delivers precise tracking, AI-driven insights, intuitive dashboards, and customizable alerts to support timely and informed decision-making.

Navies

BlueShadow enhances maritime domain awareness by fusing multi-sensor data into a wide-area COP and EOP around naval assets. It detects gray-zone activity, dark ships, and spoofing early, enabling faster and more informed command decisions.

Coast Guards

The platform supports law enforcement, SAR, and infrastructure protection through real-time vessel monitoring and AI-driven threat prioritization. Autonomous drones act as first responders, improving response speed and evidence collection.

Border Security

BlueShadow provides persistent visibility across maritime borders, identifying irregular crossings, smuggling, and hybrid threats. Predictive analytics highlight likely routes and enable proactive interdiction and interagency coordination.

Shipping

Shipping operators gain continuous situational awareness of fleets and routes, with vessel threat scoring and alerts in high-risk areas. This reduces exposure to piracy, spoofing, and operational disruptions.

Environmental Protection

The system detects illegal fishing, dumping, and pollution by correlating vessel behavior with protected zones. Drone verification and historical analysis strengthen enforcement and environmental accountability.

Wind Farms

BlueShadow delivers an EOP around offshore energy assets, identifying loitering vessels and sabotage indicators early. Predictive risk scoring helps prevent outages and cascading infrastructure failures.

Oil and gas

The platform monitors the perimeter of oil and gas assets to identify dark ships and unauthorized approaches. AI-driven threat assessment enables proactive defense, safeguarding personnel and ensuring energy security.

Communications

For subsea cables and coastal networks, the platform monitors vessel behavior near critical routes and landing points. Early warnings reduce the risk of accidental or deliberate disruptions to connectivity.

Insurance

Insurers use BlueShadow to visualize exposure, dynamically assess risk, and validate incidents. Predictive analytics support better underwriting, loss prevention, and claims verification.

Ports

Port authorities benefit from real-time COP and EOP views of vessel traffic and terminal surroundings. The system detects security threats and operational risks, ensuring continuity and safe port operations.

Airports

For coastal and offshore-adjacent airports, the platform integrates maritime and air-domain awareness. It detects hybrid threats near sea approaches and fuel infrastructure, reducing disruption and safety risks.

Data

The brains behind the operation

BlueShadow collects data from best-in-class commercial sources, dedicated client sensors and intelligence feeds, into a unified data lake.

AI-driven Engines continuously analyzes behavior, history, and context to assign threat and risk scores. When risks escalate, tailored security alerts are generated and fed into response workflows. This enables early detection, accurate prediction, and proactive prevention of threats before they materialize.
