As the blaze expands by the second and choking black smoke billows from the stern, the situation grows increasingly desperate. Thankfully, help is on the way. Hurtling towards the stricken ship…
Safer Waters With Smart Analytics For Total Maritime Surveillance
An alarm buzzes. The marine analytics software at the onshore Maritime Enforcement Agency’s Command and Control (C2) Centre has detected some suspicious movement off the port of Singapore. An oil tanker has shifted its bearings significantly and is charting a course that departs from its historical routes. Concurrently, the automated tracking system onboard a coast…
Getting Ahead Of The Game With 3D Modelling And Simulation
At the dawn of the new millennium, two of the biggest aircraft manufacturers were vying for a $200 billion contract to build America’s next-generation fighter jet – the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The Air Force demanded a fighter jet that would be faster and more manoeuvrable, while the Navy needed a version with longer wings…
Strategising Airport Operations For The New Norm
The global aviation sector has never undergone a greater shock than what it is experiencing today in the COVID-19 pandemic. Air travel is close to a standstill with airlines grounding most, if not all of their fleet, due to the closure of country borders and the consequent collapse of air travel demand. This has a…
Why Everyone Should Think Data?
A Covid-19 cluster has emerged at a building. Immediately, its occupants are forced to evacuate and quarantine themselves as the entire campus is placed under lockdown, which severely affects business operations and productivity. This scenario is happening around the world. But the power to mitigate such a situation could well lie in our pockets –…
How To Harness The Power Of AI In Cybersecurity
The pandemic has accelerated the use of technology as businesses find new ways to remain resilient, but it has also inevitably led to a rise in cyber-attacks – a trend that is expected to intensify with the advent of more emerging technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT). What this means is…
Stay Agile With Multi-Cloud Adoption
Like clockwork, the IT department of an e-commerce company fires up an array of applications to manage daily operations. These applications are spread over multiple clouds, each designed to optimise different activities. Fast-moving actions such as cataloguing and payment are hosted on clouds with high upload speed, while marketing content is stored on clouds that…
Combating GNSS Jamming At Sea
The maritime sector is a huge driving force in our global economy, with safety-critical users such as merchant ships and ports relying heavily on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for a vast array of applications. GNSS serves as the primary source of Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) across domains and applications, it provides essential services…
Seafarers Of The Future: Simulators That Accelerate Training Effectiveness
Simulation overcomes the limitations faced while operating a real-world system and opens up possibilities for trainees to experience different situations. It is where art meets science, and where minds and machines are interwoven for enriched training and performance optimisation. Recent research shows that scenario-based and outcome-based training bring out the best in individuals. In the…
Transformation Of Vehicular Integrated Communication System (VICS)
A quick look on the development of Vehicular Integrated Communication System (VICS), from its bulky precursor in the 1980s to the refined iterations of today. The success of any military operations hinges on the availability of reliable and secure communications. VICS is created to offer seamless, interoperable communications among various forces, enabling commanders to carry…
