Windward has unveiled Remote Sensing Intelligence (RSI), an advanced AI-powered technology that combines multi-sensor satellite data, RF signals, vessel context, and behavioral analytics into a single platform. As maritime operations face increased risks from dark fleet expansion, identity laundering, and AIS manipulation, the RSI system aims to help governments, security agencies, and commercial players act faster and with higher confidence.
AI-Driven Intelligence for a Changing Maritime Landscape
The maritime ecosystem is becoming increasingly complex, with deceptive shipping practices and geopolitical tensions making traditional monitoring tools insufficient. In Q3 2025, Windward detected a spike in GPS jamming incidents, widespread identity laundering, coordinated AIS spoofing, and the creation of new fake flag registries. These threats underscore the need for more reliable intelligence systems.
Windward’s RSI bridges this gap by merging electro-optical (EO) imagery, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), RF detections, and other satellite sources with Windward’s rich database AIS feeds, vessel ownership structures, sanctions lists, behavioral analytics, and cargo information. This integration transforms raw data into clear, actionable intelligence that operators can trust for real-time decision-making.
A Unified Platform for Faster, Mission-Ready Action
RSI does more than just display imagery it layers AI analysis, vessel history, and operational context to drastically reduce false positives. Users can verify cargo origins, detect AIS manipulation, identify high-risk actors, and flag sanctions-related activity far more efficiently.
The system also automates key intelligence functions, including source selection based on weather and satellite availability, automated imagery tasking, and object detection. The built-in Imagery & RF Hub centralizes all collected data, while Windward’s virtual expert, MAI Expert™, supports users with investigative guidance and sensor feasibility checks.
For agencies requiring formal assessments, Windward offers custom professional service reports backed by evidence, enabling information sharing across interagency teams without workflow duplication.
Windward’s Remote Sensing Intelligence marks a major advancement in maritime domain awareness. By fusing multi-sensor data with deep AI-driven context, the system equips warfighters, policymakers, and commercial operators with unprecedented visibility and decision-ready intelligence. As maritime risks grow more sophisticated, RSI provides the real-time insights needed to safeguard global trade, enforce compliance, and enhance operational security.
