ABOUT MRS

Mission

MRS develops innovative sensor products and offers customised solutions for ocean monitoring, such as oil spill monitoring and vessel detection services to clients worldwide.

ACTIVITIES

MRS’s areas of activity include space (earth observation, navigation, satellite communications, exploration and situational awareness), geo-information, maritime transportation, safety, security & defence, and energy.

TECHNOLOGY

Our main technology is called APS-NET system (Active & Passive Sensor NETwork) able to be deployed in vessel, platform (radar, oil rigs, wind farms), any floating object on the ocean surface like a buoy or in ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). The most suitable type of deployment depends on the application at hand.

APS-NET TECHNOLOGY

APS-NET is...

A multi-sensor surveillance system that provides vessels and maritime infrastructures with accurate information about (moving) objects surrounding them and sea variations. This greatly improves the safety of sea transport and offshore operations by reducing the risks of accidents and piracy.

The system can either be used as a primary surveillance and monitoring system or as a valuable addition to conventional surveillance techniques to increase accuracy resolution (both spatial and temporal) and usability in various weather and sea conditions.

APPLICATIONS

Anti-pirate security

APS-NET will detect and localise targets that use wireless communication, such as VHF or short-band radio. In combination with other sensor data and behaviour characteristics the system can derive a probability for potential piracy threat.

Navigation anomaly detection and collision avoidance

APS-NET provides a high-resolution surveillance overview of objects at near distance. A variety of observations are made, including vessels, markers, floating ice, wave characteristics and oil spill observations. The system complements normal navigation radar, which has much less resolution and sensitivity but a longer range.

High-precision docking aid

Vessels equipped with APS-NET benefit from a precise docking aid through high-resolution observations of the docking area. In addition, coastal and offshore infrastructures can use the same system for helicopter landing areas, crane operations, supply, offloading operations, and more.

Search and Rescue Operations

With the aid of specific tags attached to life vests, surveillance suits or passenger wristbands, the location of persons can be easily determined with APS-NET. The system instantaneously detects when a person is falling overboard and automatically alarms the crew.
