Joint Maritime Security Centre Mobile Maritime Domain Awareness Service

Maritime security is a key enabler to UK, Crown Dependency, and British Overseas Territories Security.
The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) provides Maritime Domain Awareness data to UK Government stakeholders to support delivery of security and regulatory enforcement activities. The MDA provision is comprised of multiple layers of data from a variety of sources. This procurement exercise seeks to enhance the MDA to better support operational services by procuring the provision of a scalable, mobile, digital outcome that is capable of delivering streamed “Tracks as a Service” (TKaaS) in Near Real-time (NRT). The data stream will be provided to the Royal Navy Maritime Domain Awareness Programme (MDAP) via an Application Planning Interface (API). This will include data from land based and Beyond Visual Line of Sight sources (BVLOS) operating in the 4 nations of the UK, the Crown Dependencies, and BOT, with the flexibility to respond to short notice operational requirements. These tracks should incorporate Automatic Identification System (AIS) detection, radar, and Electro Optical (EO)/Infra-Red (IR) detection – all correlated to enhance non-cooperative vessel detection. A separate portal shall be made available by the supplier to view the camera data and provide an alternative display of tracks and any alerts.
