Throughout the trials, various observation scenarios were tested for maritime control and surveillance, all of which were completed with positive results. This success not only highlights the robust performance of our technology but also validates the potential for growth across various markets.”
The demonstration missions allowed for the thorough evaluation of the eBee VISION’s advanced capabilities and confirmed:
- The drone’s low acoustic and visual signatures enabled discreet surveillance, reducing the risk of detection
- The eBee VISION successfully operated in coastal winds, showcasing its robustness in challenging conditions
- The drone completed persistent missions covering 20 km, with the ability to fly out, observe, and return efficiently
- The video transmission range, image quality, and ease of use
Daytime operations consisted of monitoring a 20 km range above the sea to identify fishing boats in prohibited areas, assess their cargo, and detect net fishing in deeper maritime areas. Also, surveillance of line fishing in the coastal line.
Night operations consisted of conducting coastal line surveillance with the eBee VISION’s thermal camera to detect illegal fishing activities, enabling authorities to target unauthorized operations.
The Directorate general for Maritime affairs, Fisheries and Aquaculture (DGAMPA) is a French general directorate created in 2022. It comes under the authority of the Ministry for Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forestry, the Sea and Fisheries. The DGAMPA merges the two main directorates dealing with the maritime sector at the central level of the government, namely the Directorate of maritime affairs (DAM) and the Directorate of maritime fisheries and aquaculture (DPMA), but also the staff of the captaincies of the state ports.
