ange against surface targets, while continuous use<br />

of aircraft is prohibitively expensive. Nations need an<br />

effective and affordable system that offers continuous,<br />

wide-area maritime surveillance and timely provision of<br />

target information. TCOM Sea surveillance systems use<br />

persistent surveillance medium-class tethered aerostats,<br />

equipped with an advanced maritime radar, thermal<br />

imaging and optical sensors, and communications payloads<br />

that detect and track maritime targets at distances<br />

of 60 nautical miles and beyond. A single sea surveillance<br />

system can cover thousands of square miles for<br />

weeks at a time at the lowest possible hourly cost for an<br />

airborne asset. <strong>The</strong> early detection and direct communications<br />

with air and sea assets affords the critical window<br />

of time to evaluate the situation, coordinate forces<br />

and engage, if required. <strong>The</strong> versatility of the sea surveillance<br />

system makes it ideal for responding to requirements<br />

or threats that change rapidly. <strong>The</strong> system is fully<br />

transportable and can be easily relocated with no site<br />

preparation. Although fully mature, the system can be<br />

shaped to better meet the needs of the client. Additional<br />

capabilities such as passive surveillance and remote data<br />

linking can be included. View TCOM’s innovative solution<br />
