Summary
“Managed maritime intelligence operations center staffed by Windward analysts, fusing AI with SAR, EO and RF satellite imagery to deliver continuous monitoring, forensic investigations and mission-ready intelligence.”
Description
The Maritime Intelligence Operations Center (MIOC) by Windward is a mission-critical managed intelligence service that operates as a seamless extension of customer teams. Backed by 15 years of Maritime AI development, MIOC analysts fuse physical surveillance (SAR and EO satellite), digital signals, commercial intelligence and patented Maritime AI into a single operational picture. Use cases include defense and critical infrastructure protection (detecting dark fleet activity, subsea cable surveillance), sanctions and compliance forensics (three-tier due diligence from automated Red Flag Reviews to deep UBO discovery), supply chain ethics investigations (forced labor, IUU fishing, illegal transshipments), legal and insurance forensics (incident reconstruction and liability attribution), and environmental intelligence (oil spill detection and source attribution). Engagements are available as ongoing subscriptions, ad-hoc deep-dive investigations, or embedded retained analyst deployments.
