Optimare‘s surveillance products & services are distributed over two branches: ▪ Airborne Systems ▪ Marine Systems
Illegal Discharges from Ship Traffic Discharges from Offshore Installations Accidental Discharges
This is the matter we are looking into …
System integration makes use of ▪ Complementarity ▪ Redundancy Far-Range Surveillance
Coverage: ca. 40 NM @ 3.000ft
Close-Range Analysis
Thickness, oil type, spatial properties Coverage: 2 x Altitude
