Sirius Insight has commenced capability trials for its new Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) platform

Sirius Insight, a leading UK technology company focused on AI in the maritime environment, has commenced capability trials for its new Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) platform. The trials follow the company’s equity investment and strategic partnership with Flylogix, a pioneering UK-based uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) firm.

The UAS platform integrates Sirius Insight’s sensor suite to monitor maritime activity, extending Sirius Insight’s real time maritime awareness capability well beyond the horizon and allowing efficient surveillance of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters and real-time detection of suspicious activity at sea.

Since 2020, Sirius Insight has worked alongside the UK Government, providing maritime data to the Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) in support of its mission to increase awareness and understanding of maritime security threats and to enable cross-government coordination in delivering a whole-system response to mitigate them.

The extension of maritime surveillance to the outer limit of the EEZ through its new BVLOS UAS platform allows Sirius Insight to provide maritime authorities with even greater levels of operational integration, resilience and cost-effectiveness.
