The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) a 12-month contract to continue development of a next-generation Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) technology that detects vessel deviations from normal at sea and near ports.
Current MDA systems require operators to wade through volumes of data to identify threat potential. In contrast, the Predictive Analysis for Naval Deployment Activities (PANDA) program uses sophisticated pattern-based learning technologies, historical data, and track monitoring to learn a ship's "normal" behavior.
By understanding normal behavior, PANDA automatically detects deviations that might otherwise go unnoticed or be assessed too late. In addition to providing faster and more meaningful threat assessment, PANDA also helps operators deal more effectively and efficiently with information.
During Phases 1 and 2, PANDA successfully demonstrated the feasibility of using motion-based pattern learning and context filtering to detect and assess unusual vessel behavior. During Phase 3, PANDA will be expanded to monitor thousands of vessels, refine detection capabilities, and enhance operator usability by filtering information and creating a simplified user interface.
