Unify data, sensing, analysis, and workflows in one mission-critical Maritime AI™ platform. Move from detection to verification to action across global and sovereign waters.
Reactive monitoring misses emerging risks. Get prioritized, contextual intelligence for timely decisions in contested waters. Windward delivers:
Get advanced maritime intelligence through early detection, automatic lead generation, and end-to-end investigation. AI-driven models continuously surface anomalies before they escalate into threats, exposing previously unknown and untracked activity.
Achieve persistent maritime domain awareness. Monitor approaches and areas of interest continuously, detecting deceptive and high-risk behavior in real time across sovereign waters and critical assets.
Expose vessels and entities evading sanctions, regulations, and international frameworks. Screen vessels, ownership structures, and networks to identify deceptive shipping practices and sanctions circumvention.
Target high-risk shipments and protect borders and revenue. Rank inbound containers by risk using vessel behavior correlated with trade and logistics data. Uncover smuggling corridors, transshipment fraud, and document manipulation to support targeted inspections.
Windward’s Remote Sensing Intelligence solution fuses multi-sensor coverage (EO, SAR, and RF), AI-powered detections, in-app tasking, and a fully integrated investigation workflow. By delivering actionable visual insights to government, security, and compliance teams, it provides a decisive operational edge – enhancing maritime operations with speed, precision, and proof.
Windward delivers a unified set of capabilities embedded across all government solutions:
Embedded across the entire platform is MAI Expert™, Windward’s Gen AI virtual analyst and subject matter expert, delivering:
Windward Services team bridges advanced maritime AI with real-world operations:
How does Windward support government maritime missions?
Windward supports government maritime missions by enabling agencies to detect, investigate, and act on threats at sea in real time. The platform combines behavioral AI, multi-source data, Remote Sensing Intelligence, and built-in workflows to support border security, intelligence operations, infrastructure protection, and enforcement across sovereign and global waters.
How does Windward help governments detect emerging or unknown maritime threats?
Windward uses AI-driven Early Detection models to continuously analyze global maritime behavior to surface anomalies and emerging patterns without relying on predefined watchlists. These anomalies are automatically transformed into intelligence leads, allowing agencies to identify previously unknown or untracked activity before it escalates into operational threats.
How does Windward support border security and asset protection operations?
Windward provides persistent monitoring of approaches, areas of interest, and critical maritime assets. By detecting deceptive behavior, abnormal movement, and proximity risk in real time, agencies can prioritize vessels, deploy assets effectively, and protect borders, offshore infrastructure, and sovereign waters with greater precision.
How does Windward integrate Remote Sensing Intelligence into government operations?
Windward integrates EO, SAR, and RF satellite data directly into the platform, fusing imagery and signal detections with behavioral analytics and vessel intelligence. This allows teams to verify activity visually, detect dark vessels, confirm anomalies, and support investigations and enforcement actions with independent, time-stamped evidence.
What types of missions can Windward support across government agencies?
Windward supports a wide range of government missions, including border security, anti-smuggling and trafficking, sanctions enforcement, IUU fishing detection, critical maritime infrastructure protection, maritime intelligence, container risk targeting, and environmental and safety monitoring.
How does Windward support sanctions, compliance, and entity risk screening?
Windward screens vessels, ownership structures, and related entities against global sanctions frameworks while continuously monitoring real-world behavior. By combining entity resolution, ownership transparency, and behavioral intelligence, agencies can identify sanctions circumvention, deceptive shipping practices, and network-level risk with defensible, explainable outputs.
How does Windward help prioritize targets and operational resources?
Windward translates large volumes of maritime activity into prioritized, risk-ranked targets using Organization-Defined Risk logic. Behavioral indicators, historical context, and predictive models help agencies focus limited patrol, inspection, and enforcement resources on the highest-risk vessels, shipments, or areas.
How does MAI Expert™ support government analysts and operators?
MAI Expert™ acts as a virtual maritime analyst embedded across the platform. It provides OSINT-based contextualization, analyst-grade explanations, automated screening summaries, and intelligence reporting support, accelerating investigations, standardizing outputs, and supporting faster operational decision-making.
Can Windward support container tracking and anti-smuggling operations?
Yes. Windward correlates vessel behavior with trade, logistics, and container data to rank inbound shipments by risk. This enables customs and enforcement agencies to identify smuggling corridors, transshipment fraud, and document manipulation, supporting targeted inspections and revenue protection.
How does Windward support investigations from detection through enforcement?
Windward provides an end-to-end investigative environment, combining Early Detection leads, advanced search, behavioral sequencing, Visual Link Analysis, historical replay, and remote sensing verification. This allows teams to validate activity, uncover networks, and generate defensible intelligence products without switching systems.
Can Windward integrate with existing government systems and workflows?
Yes. Windward integrates via secure APIs and data feeds with command-and-control, ISR, intelligence, and case management systems. This ensures intelligence flows directly into existing operational environments without disrupting established workflows.
What makes Windward suitable for multi-agency and joint operations?
Windward supports secure collaboration, shared intelligence views, and role-based access across agencies and partners. This enables coordinated maritime operations, intelligence sharing, and joint enforcement while maintaining control over sensitive data and mission boundaries.
How does Windward support real-time and crisis operations?
Windward delivers continuously updated intelligence, prioritized alerts, and rapid verification through behavioral analysis and satellite tasking. During evolving situations or crises, agencies can move from signal to confirmation to action in minutes rather than hours or days.
What role do Windward services play in government missions?
Windward’s Services team extends the platform with operational expertise. Agencies can leverage professional services for specific missions, managed intelligence coverage, retained analysts embedded in operations, or forward-deployed engineers to build mission-specific capabilities.
