For safer oceans
Surveillance and security
With 90% of the world's goods transported by sea, undersea cables carrying a majority of our digital data, and a vast array of marine life and resources, the oceans are more than ever a strategic asset.
This poses a number of challenges. Airbus solutions help save lives, monitor sea lanes and protect the maritime assets of public and private sector customers.
How we ensure maritime security
Airbus maritime solutions support every step of the operational decision-making process, from detecting an abnormal situation to supporting operations, from situational analysis to the decision to respond. Our solutions help make the maritime environment safer, covering everything from coastlines to Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ),and the high seas.
