Detect threats to submarine cables, pipelines, and offshore platforms before they become incidents. Windward’s Maritime AI™ fuses multi-sensor data with trend analysis, active threat detection, and continuous asset monitoring.
Windward’s Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection delivers monitoring around precise asset locations, an industry-leading catalog of suspicious vessels, and advanced behavioral pattern detection – enabling you to identify, anticipate, and mitigate threats before they escalate.
Leverage historical trend data for a given area or vessel population to surface behavioral patterns, giving your security and maintenance teams the insight they need to prioritize and deploy resources.
Receive alerts when risky vessels or organization-defined vessels of interest enter a monitored area, or conduct suspicious activity near your critical subsea and offshore infrastructure.
When an incident occurs, investigate vessel movements and activity in the area to reconstruct a timeline, identify suspects, and generate assessments for reporting and claims.
Windward flags vessels conducting suspicious research or survey activity in open water — the typical cover for intelligence gathering near deep-sea infrastructure — and identifies the entities, affiliated vessels, and states behind them. Slow transit speeds and equipment deployment patterns give these missions away, even at depths of hundreds of meters.
Windward monitors your areas of interest and automatically alerts you when fishing fleets or vessels from risky populations cross or approach your cables. In shallow water, most damage is unintentional but a growing share is deliberate sabotage using the same methods, making distinguishing the two a core intelligence task.
Windward detects unauthorized and suspicious vessel activity around offshore assets — oil rigs, wind farms, and floating production platforms — flagging vessels loitering near or approaching your sites. Predictive risk intelligence and behavioral analysis surface threats early enough to act before operations are disrupted.
Windward’s Remote Sensing Intelligence keeps vessels visible after they switch off their AIS. Multi-sensor satellite data (EO, SAR, RF) fused with behavioral analytics enables identification and tracking of vessels that go dark near your cables.
Task new imagery of approaching vessels, or draw on archived, timestamped imagery from multiple vendors for post-incident investigation.
Windward’s Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection solution is an AI-powered maritime intelligence capability designed to safeguard submarine cables, pipelines, offshore platforms, and other sensitive underwater and offshore assets. It combines real-time vessel monitoring, behavioral analysis, predictive risk detection, and remote sensing intelligence to identify, assess, and mitigate threats before damage occurs. The solution provides continuous, explainable visibility around exact asset locations, enabling operators and security organizations to move from reactive monitoring to proactive protection.
Windward detects a wide range of threats targeting critical underwater and offshore infrastructure, including loitering vessels, unauthorized approaches, dark activity, GPS manipulation, and covert surveying or construction. These insights help protect submarine cables, pipelines, offshore platforms, and energy assets from interference, espionage, or sabotage.
Using AI-powered behavioral models and proximity analysis, Windward evaluates vessel movement patterns, speed, loitering, and operational context near defined cable routes and offshore assets. This enables early detection of anomalies such as repeated close passes, slow-speed maneuvering, or unexpected activity inconsistent with legitimate maritime operations.
By combining behavioral analytics, vessel classification, speed profiles, and activity context, Windward distinguishes deliberate shallow-water interference, such as anchor dragging or cable contact, from deep-sea intelligence or research operations typically characterized by slow, methodical movement and specialized vessel types. This differentiation helps teams assess intent, severity, and response priority accurately.
Each alert includes vessel identity, ownership context, detected behavior, proximity to the asset, and a clear risk rationale. Alerts are enriched with explainable intelligence and can be integrated into command-and-control systems or operational workflows, allowing security teams to respond quickly with confidence.
Every event is logged with a time-stamped behavioral and positional timeline, enabling detailed post-incident analysis. Teams can replay vessel movements, examine historical patterns near the asset, and generate defensible investigation records to support enforcement, intelligence assessments, or stakeholder reporting.
Yes. Users can define precise monitoring zones around cable routes or offshore assets and configure alerts by threat type, vessel population, behavior threshold, or risk level, ensuring focus on the activity that matters most while minimizing noise.
Windward integrates Remote Sensing Intelligence directly into infrastructure protection workflows to verify, attribute, and investigate risk at sea. Satellite imagery and RF data are used to visually confirm vessel presence, detect AIS-dark or non-cooperative activity, and validate proximity or interaction with subsea and offshore assets. Combined with behavioral analytics, remote sensing turns alerts into evidence-backed assessments, supporting early warning, investigation, and defensible response around critical infrastructure.
Yes. Windward’s predictive and early detection models identify emerging risk signals – such as changes in vessel behavior, repeated presence by risky populations, or abnormal activity trends – before incidents escalate into physical damage or disruption.
Absolutely. Windward supports transmission system operators, telecom operators, energy companies, infrastructure owners, navies, coast guards, and national security organizations responsible for protecting submarine cables, pipelines, offshore platforms, and strategic maritime zones.
Unlike static surveillance or sensor-based monitoring, Windward combines all-source maritime data, behavioral AI, predictive analytics, and explainable alerts. This delivers a dynamic, intelligence-led view of risk, helping organizations move from passive monitoring to proactive protection of critical undersea and offshore assets.
