项目摘要

A maritime security forward scattering sensor network is a novel and cost-effective system to protect national offshore assets and interests. Maritime security and related national economical and political interests are strategically important priorities for the UK Government and the world community in general. The most recent example can be found in the Persian Gulf, a region which sees billions of pounds of merchant traffic annually and where a lack of maritime security has created opportunities for piracy. Another example is the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (the result of technical problems) which demonstrated the cost of this kind of maritime catastrophe which might make it a potentially attractive target for a terrorist attack. It also highlighted the problem of the detection and dynamic tracking of oil spills. A number of systems are currently employed for the remote monitoring of the sea surface. Each system has its own capabilities and limitations. It seems unlikely, therefore, that any one system could be developed to solve all the problems of sea monitoring with a resolution sufficient to permit the detection and automatic identification of small objects. The solution lies in a combination of systems. For this reason, the introduction of new tools and specifically tools capable of filling the gaps in the existing security systems is very much welcomed. This project aims to develop a brand-new, cost-effective security sensor network for maritime application. The proposed system would be maintained on a chain of light anchored buoys spread over a range of several miles equipped with ultra-wideband (UWB) forward scatter (FS) sensors enabling earlier automatic detection and identification of non-cooperative intruders in all-weather conditions. The network targets the detection of low-visible, small, and potentially low-speed maritime targets such as boats (which might be used for suicide missions or for smuggling people, drugs or weapons); semi-submerged objects (lost containers or icebergs dangerous for maritime traffic and offshore installations); environmental control (oil spill detection); etc. The system could be used where more traditional monitoring tools are unable to operate and would replace or complement them. It would be effective for emerging maritime situations, e.g. to protect offshore wind energy farms and EEZ boundary, to track the routes of pirates and so forth. The engineering outputs from the project will include a demonstration and testing of the system fragment in real marine conditions leading to a detailed production specification of the system developed with industrial partners and end users. Eventually a brand new product would be developed and manufactured for the world market and it would bring economic benefits to the UK and strengthen its position in the high-tech market.

海上安全前向散射传感器网络是保护国家海上资产和利益的一种新型、高性价比的系统。海上安全和相关的国家经济和政治利益是联合王国政府和整个国际社会的战略重点。最近的例子可以在波斯湾找到，该地区每年有数十亿英镑的商船往来，缺乏海上安全为海盗创造了机会。另一个例子是墨西哥湾的深水地平线石油泄漏（技术问题的结果），它表明了这种海上灾难的代价，这可能使它成为一个潜在的有吸引力的恐怖袭击目标。它还强调了探测和动态跟踪石油泄漏的问题。目前有许多系统用于海面的远程监测。每个系统都有自己的功能和局限性。因此，似乎不太可能研制出任何一种系统来解决海洋监测的所有问题，其分辨率足以允许探测和自动识别小物体。解决办法在于系统的组合。因此，非常欢迎采用新的工具，特别是能够填补现有安全系统空白的工具。本项目旨在为海事应用开发一种全新的、具有成本效益的安全传感器网络。拟议的系统将维持在一系列光锚浮标上，这些浮标分布在几英里的范围内，配备有超宽带（UWB）前向散射（FS）传感器，能够在全天候条件下早期自动检测和识别非合作入侵者。该网络的目标是探测船只等低可见度、小型和潜在低速的海上目标（可能用于自杀任务或走私人口、毒品或武器）;半淹没物体（丢失的集装箱或冰山对海上交通和海上设施有危险）;环境控制该系统可用于更传统的监测工具无法操作的地方，并将取代或补充这些工具。它将对新出现的海上情况有效，例如保护海上风能发电场和专属经济区边界，跟踪海盗的路线等。该项目的工程产出将包括在真实的海洋条件下对系统片段进行演示和测试，从而与工业合作伙伴和最终用户一起制定详细的系统生产规范。最终，一个全新的产品将被开发和制造，为世界市场，它将带来经济利益，英国和加强其在高科技市场的地位。
