MARLIN<\/strong> is an innovative maritime surveillance project focused on enhancing the detection, identification, and tracking of maritime and airborne threats through the integration of advanced observation technologies and artificial intelligence. The project addresses a critical challenge faced by modern maritime security stakeholders: the availability of large volumes of sensor data without sufficiently integrated and autonomous systems to rapidly identify abnormal or threatening activities. <\/span>[MARLIN | B…ue Cluster]<\/a><\/h3>\n

Objective<\/h3>\n

The primary objective of MARLIN is to improve maritime domain awareness and strengthen the protection of ports, coastal regions, and critical maritime infrastructure. By combining advanced sensing capabilities with AI-driven analytics, MARLIN enables faster and more reliable threat detection while supporting European technological autonomy in the security and defence domain. [MARLIN | B…ue Cluster]<\/a><\/p>\n

Technical Approach<\/h3>\n

MARLIN builds upon an existing FLIR Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) observation platform<\/strong>, extending its capabilities with a range of intelligent functionalities, including:<\/p>\n
