Marine Fisheries Protection

Illegal drone surveillance over fish farms, abalone fisheries, shellfish beds, and oyster farms has become a significant economic threat in coastal regions across Asia-Pacific and Europe. Poachers use drones equipped with thermal cameras to locate harvest schedules, identify stock concentrations, and coordinate large-scale illegal harvesting activities — often at night when human surveillance is minimal.

Operational Environment

Marine environments present extreme equipment challenges: persistent salt fog, high ambient humidity, constant wind loading, and UV exposure require certified robust equipment. our radar systems are fully sealed to IP66 standards, suitable for direct coastal deployment on breakwaters, seawall installations, and floating pontoon platforms.

Coverage Design

For a coastal aquaculture area of several square kilometres, a typical deployment uses:

• Landward boundary: 2× XR-RD06A (single panel, ±45° azimuth each, combined 90° forward coverage) on elevated cliff or dune positions
• Offshore boundary: 1× XR-RD06C (multi-panel, 360° coverage) on a central island, jetty, or purpose-built buoy platform
• Command integration: RJ45 Ethernet interface connects to the central monitoring station via fibre, wireless bridge, or 4G/5G backhaul

Sea Clutter Suppression

Sea surface clutter — radar returns from wave action — is the primary technical challenge for coastal deployments. our proprietary signal processing algorithms provide reliable target detection in Beaufort Force 5 conditions (fresh breeze, wave heights up to 3.5 m), maintaining track continuity for targets moving at speeds consistent with drones (0–25 m/s) while suppressing slow-moving wave returns.
