Applications
- 4.9.1 Subsea Cable Route Planning — Using satellite-derived bathymetry, sea-floor current data and surface vessel traffic density to de-risk and optimise subsea cable corridor selection before a single survey ship is deployed.
- 4.9.2 Subsea Cable Fault Localisation — Using satellite-derived sea-surface anomalies, vessel tracking and seismic data to narrow the search zone for subsea cable faults before a repair ship is dispatched.
- 4.9.3 Pipeline Leak Detection — Using satellite SAR, thermal infrared and ocean-colour sensors to detect hydrocarbon seeps and pressure anomalies above buried or seafloor pipelines before they become catastrophic spills.
- 4.9.4 Anchor-Drag Risk Monitoring — Using satellite AIS, SAR imagery and RF surveillance to detect vessels dragging anchors across subsea cables and pipelines before contact damage occurs.
- 4.9.5 Seabed Habitat Mapping — Using satellite-derived bathymetry, ocean colour and SAR to map and monitor shallow and deep seabed habitats for conservation, resource management and maritime planning.
