A vessel monitoring service obtains transponder data of a vessel operating within a navigable area. In response to obtaining the transponder data of the vessel, the vessel monitoring service evaluates the transponder data and a plurality of travel segments recorded for a plurality of vessels to identify a travel segment to which the transponder data corresponds. The vessel monitoring service updates the travel segment using the transponder data and determine whether the vessel is engaged in an unauthorized activity. If so, the vessel monitoring service provides an indication that the vessel is engaged in the unauthorized activity.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide perimeter ranging for navigation of mobile structures. A navigation control system includes a logic device, a perimeter ranging sensor, one or more actuators/controllers, and modules to interface with users, sensors, actuators, and/or other elements of a mobile structure. The logic device is configured to receive perimeter sensor data from the perimeter ranging system. The logic device determines a range to and/or a relative velocity of a navigation hazard disposed within a monitoring perimeter of the perimeter ranging system based on the received perimeter sensor data. The logic device then generates a display view of the perimeter sensor data or determines navigation control signals based on the range and/or relative velocity of the navigation hazard. Control signals may be displayed to a user and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining an action for collision avoidance in a craft. The method (100) comprises obtaining (110) object data comprising three-dimensional object data points (420); obtaining (120) state data of the craft (260); determining (140) at least one set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c) for the craft (260) based on the obtained craft state data; determining (150) a set of distance thresholds (421) for the three-dimensional object data points (420) based on the object data; comparing (160) each set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c) with the object data and the set of distance thresholds (421), wherein the set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c) is identified as a colliding set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c) when each path of the set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c) is at least partially within the corresponding distance threshold (421) of at least one three-dimensional object data point (420); and determining (170) an action upon identification of at least one colliding set of manoeuvre paths (410a,b,c).

To provide a radar device capable of tracking a target accurately and stably, taking into account the possibility that a plurality of echoes may merge. A radar device is provided with a tracking processing unit, a merging possibility calculating unit and a preliminary handling processing unit. The merging possibility calculating unit calculates an echo merging possibility, which is the possibility that echo merging, whereby a plurality of echoes become integrated, will occur in the future, based on movement information including the position and speed of a target. The preliminary handling processing unit performs an advance handling process, which is a process for handling future occurrences of echo merging, based on the echo merging possibility.
