The stack
One harbour, two sensors.
The anchorages off Vancouver: 160 km² of water and shore, seen by optical and radar on the same day.

One maritime picture, with the reasons attached.
Ship tracks, radar, optical frames, air tracks and radio, on one grid and one clock. DefenseScope gives the watch a short list, and nothing goes above Advisory until two independent sources agree.

Two sensors, one rule.
Radar
OpticalContact 01 · Advisory
Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2024).
Real
Every contact on the scene is a real detection from public radar and optical passes, 17 hours apart. No ship identities are used.
Illustrative
The detector is a simple public stand-in for the product's. The DefenseScope screens use open data with synthetic identities, as cleared.
What runs here.
Each product below works on maritime and defence today. Atlas is the engine they share.
DefenseScope
Sea, land and air watch for a defence agency of a G7 government. Every alert opens to the evidence behind it.
Atlas
The engine under every product: fusion, registration, detection, and an agent on the map.
OpenEdge hardware designs
Unattended sensor nodes and an edge appliance for networks that drop. Designed and simulated.
Open
What it has shown.
Numbers from real runs, each with the caveat it needs. Nothing here is a claim the run did not make.

independent sources before anything goes above Advisory
The rule, not a performance number. Performance figures for this system stay off this site.

input types on one grid and one clock
Ship reports, radar, optical, air tracks, depth, radio and drone stills among them.

signed record per decision
Accept, question or reject lands on a hash-chained audit trail.
How it works.
Open any part for the method, the numbers and where to read more.
Every contact lands on one grid and one clock. Identity lives in a graph, and every join keeps its reasons. A detector proposes; the case file shows which sensors agree and what the system cannot see.
The officer accepts, questions or rejects. A question keeps the case open and asks another unit to check.

Why it matters.
Public figures on the size of the problem.
Canada has the longest coastline of any country, watched in part by the three-satellite RADARSAT Constellation launched in 2019.
