๐ Detecting small vessels at sea remains a major challenge
Limited radar visibility, lack of AIS signals, and harsh conditions make monitoring difficult.
Improving how data is collected and combined is key,
an area explored within #ORBISProject
๐ UAVs are transforming maritime surveillance
They enable real-time monitoring, targeted operations & rapid support to SAR, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Within #ORBISProject, UAVs are a key part of integrated, data-driven maritime monitoring solutions.
๐ฐ๏ธ Satellite data is key to maritime situational awareness
By combining optical & SAR data, it enables wide-area monitoring, vessel detection, and supports SAR operations .
A core enabler of modern, data-driven maritime monitoring. ๐ #ORBISProject
๐ฃ Synergies in Action
#ORBISProject highlights its synergy with #COLOSSUS, a project developing UOPVs, UAVs, UGVs and advanced sensors to enhance the resilience of EU port infrastructures
Together, we advance technologies for maritime monitoring

๐The Mediterranean remains a major maritime migration corridor
While overall arrivals to Europe declined in 2025, pressure increased on specific routes โ particularly the Central and Western Mediterranean.
๐ Migration flows shift geographically โ they donโt disappear
๐ Who is ORBIS for?
Border & coast guard authorities, maritime surveillance & SAR operators, policymakers, tech providers in satellite/UAV/AI, and civil security innovators.
๐ If you work in maritime security & EU innovation, ORBIS is for you
๐ Rethinking maritime border monitoring through innovation
#ORBISProject combines satellite data, interoperable UAVs & AI-driven analytics to enhance surveillance and search & rescue, with ethics and compliance by design. Driving smarter, sustainable EU maritime security.
๐งญ How migrant traffickers operate:
They exploit vulnerability and misinformation, advertising risky journeys as safe . Common practices include overcrowded boats, false promises, and abandonment at sea.
๐Understanding this helps focus on criminalsโnot the people they exploit
