Accipiter’s patented M3® Target Information System (TIS) is the heart of every Accipiter® surveillance system. Within our TIS are the target data collected by the system sensors, updated in real-time with new information and historically spanning even years into the past. These target data include (i) full target trajectories for every tracked target, where each trajectory has an assigned target-ID along with a series of time updates each containing parameters such as {latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, heading, size (radar cross section), date, time}; (ii) event data such as alerts and complex events defined by specific target behaviour; (iii) sensor imagery illustrating distributed phenomenon such as weather, ice, and ground clutter; and (iv) other meta data that help characterize the environment and the point targets targets such as vessels, aircraft, birds, drones, persons, animals, and vehicles found therein.
The big data contained in our M3® TIS is organized as a highly efficient and secure data warehouse intended to be analyzed spatially and temporally in order to (i) characterize target behaviour, activity and trends; (ii) and provide standardized reporting; (iii) search for particular behaviours or events of interest; and (iv) to investigate specific incidents and provide incident reports. For missions as varied as law enforcement and investigations, port security, search and rescue, coastal surveillance, maritime domain awareness, bird strike prevention, air traffic control, Accipiter’s analysts can support your mission by providing you with a number of specialized M3® data analytics and reporting services as further described below.
