Abstract :
The integration of current traffic monitoring operational systems in the field of maritime surveillance is widely acknowledged as a key requirement for borders control and illegal trafficking prevention. In this paper, an overview of the satellite-extended-vessel traffic service (SEV) system for in-situ and earth observation (EO) data association is presented. The description of the cognitive data correlation concept shows the benefits brought to the resulting maritime recognised picture (RMP) in supporting decision making and situation awareness applications.
