Electro-Optic Vessel Detection, Tracking & Classification System
MATRA SENSE is a next-generation vessel detection and tracking solution that uses electro-optical sensors and AI-powered advanced analytics to monitor maritime traffic safely, passively and with high accuracy. Complementing the limitations of traditional systems such as AIS and radar, it provides strong and reliable situational awareness—especially for small targets, AIS-less vessels, or deliberately concealed (dark vessel) activities.
With real-time visual verification, automatic vessel classification and precise geolocation capabilities, MATRA SENSE enables operators to detect suspicious activity early and make accurate decisions quickly. Its 24/7 continuous monitoring capability enhances maritime security in straits, ports and coastal areas while reducing false alarm rates and maximizing operational efficiency and reliability.
Features:
Maritime Underwater Surveillance System
Critical maritime infrastructures such as ports, naval bases, energy terminals and high-traffic straits require continuous protection against underwater threats. Modern underwater threats increasingly include stealth divers, swimmer delivery vehicles (SDVs), autonomous or remotely operated underwater vehicles (AUV/UUV). Traditional sonar systems, while effective over long ranges, face challenges in complex and acoustically dynamic coastal environments.
MATRA DEEP combines next-generation software with underwater sensors to deliver reliable detection performance under challenging underwater conditions. The system provides early warning, accurate threat localization and seamless integration with coastal surveillance and port infrastructure helping operators maintain complete situational awareness below the surface. Designed for both pier protection and wide-area waterway security, MATRA DEEP enables robust monitoring in environments such as harbor entrances, narrow straits, anchorage zones and critical maritime chokepoints.
Features:
Search & Rescue
MATRA SAR is an IAMSAR-compliant search and rescue management solution designed to enhance maritime safety and improve the effectiveness of SAR operations. By combining real-time maritime surveillance, environmental data, incident management and operational decision support, MATRA SAR enables operators to rapidly assess emergencies and coordinate response activities. The system automatically considers critical factors such as weather conditions, sea state, drift calculations, available assets and incident characteristics to support faster and more informed decision-making during time-critical situations.
MATRA SAR streamlines the entire search and rescue lifecycle, from incident reporting and mission planning to asset coordination and post-mission analysis. Advanced decision-support tools assist operators in selecting the most suitable response units, defining optimal search areas and generating recommended search patterns in accordance with international SAR procedures. By improving coordination, reducing response times and increasing operational efficiency, MATRA SAR helps rescue organizations maximize mission success and save lives at sea.
Features:
Integrated Port Surveillance and Security System
MATRA IPSS is a comprehensive port surveillance and security solution designed to enhance the safety, security and operational efficiency of modern ports and critical coastal infrastructure. By integrating advanced sensor technologies, intelligent analytics and a centralized command-and-control environment, MATRA IPSS provides real-time situational awareness across port areas, waterfronts and restricted zones. The system enables early detection of security threats, unauthorized activities and operational anomalies, helping operators protect critical assets while maintaining uninterrupted port operations.
At the core of MATRA IPSS is a multi-layered surveillance architecture that combines radar, AIS, electro-optical systems, access control systems, intrusion detection sensors and underwater surveillance capabilities into a single operational picture.
AI-assisted analytics continuously evaluate incoming data to detect suspicious behavior, unauthorized access attempts, perimeter violations and potential security threats. Through automated alerts, incident management tools and integrated decision support functions, operators can rapidly assess situations and coordinate appropriate responses.
With its scalable and modular architecture, MATRA IPSS can be deployed in commercial ports, naval bases, energy terminals, shipyards and other critical coastal facilities. The system improves operational awareness, reduces response times and strengthens overall security posture by providing a unified view of activities occurring above water, onshore and below the surface.
