For the first time in maritime history,
Dstl successfully provided the Royal Navy with live situational awareness
of commercial shipping movements during Trafalgar 200 Fleet Review (T200).
In support of security operations for this prestigious event, the Royal
Navy gave Dstl the responsibility for mapping the movements of all commercial
ships present in the English Channel.
Dstl designed and built a system based on Automatic Identification
of Shipping (AIS) that collected data using receivers from Dstl and
a commercial supplier. This data was automatically merged by Dstl software,
converted to Royal Navy standard and disseminated by email in real-time
to HMS Albion.
HMS Albion was responsible for coordinating security operations for
T200 and used Dstl’s data to enhance the Recognised Maritime Position.
