HawkEye 360 has introduced a new AI-enabled maritime custody capability designed to help defense and intelligence organizations maintain continuous tracking of high-interest vessels across multiple satellite collections. The feature assigns unique tracking identifiers using artificial intelligence, enabling persistent vessel custody without relying on self-reported data or labor-intensive manual processes. By incorporating confidence scoring and velocity attributes-including speed and course-the system enhances transparency, provides contextual movement analysis, and improves the accuracy of identifying and monitoring vessels in complex maritime environments. With space-based wide-area coverage, the capability extends visibility into denied or contested regions, giving decision-makers a more reliable understanding of global maritime activity.

“This capability represents a major step forward for decision-makers who need reliable custody of critical maritime targets,” said Greg Skotzko, Director of Product Management at HawkEye 360. “By applying AI to automate vessel tracking and integrate movement analysis, we are enabling the Defense and Intelligence Communities to monitor complex environments with greater accuracy and efficiency.” As part of HawkEye 360’s Maritime Intelligence suite, this initial release lays the groundwork for broader integration across the company’s analytics portfolio, further enhancing mission value and enabling faster detection of patterns, anomalies, and deceptive behaviors at scale.
