What happened

The ASIO environmental monitoring system has successfully integrated an electro-optical payload, multi-mode radars, and an innovative sensor called SEA EYE. This new system has been integrated into BIRD Aerosystems, an Israeli provider of innovative defense technology and solutions that protect governments and related agencies’ air, sea, and land fleets. In response to the critical challenge of maritime pollution detection and the imperative to prevent costly and ecologically devastating oil spills, BIRD Aerosystems introduces this new solution, based on the company’s renowned ASIO task force. The SEA EYE sensor makes real-time spectral detection and classification of surface and submerged oil and organics possible, revolutionizing the monitoring process. This advanced sensor is installed on the ASIO airborne platform, enabling real-time recognition and classification of oil patterns, and accurately predicting the oil spread. Additionally, the SEA EYE’s prediction tool empowers users to anticipate the future trajectory of the oil spill.
