MARITIME
DOMAIN
AWARENESS

The world’s oceans have never been busier—or harder to understand. Dark vessels slip through national waters, illegal fishing quietly erodes economic sovereignty, and grey-zone pressure unfolds long before it reaches the headlines.

The uncomfortable truth: if you don’t own your maritime picture, someone else does

What We Deliver

GomSpace delivers end-to-end sovereign Maritime Domain Awareness systems built for national ownership, operational independence, and long-term resilience.

Employ multiple sensor capabilities in space incl. AIS, VDES, RF monitoring and imaging to support true multi-sensor intelligence acquisition to support a wide variety of use-cases. Fuse the space-based data with your terrestrial data sources and and collect the complete picture.

All capabilities—from satellites to ground infrastructure to data—remain under your control, supported by a long-term partnership and training programs that allow your teams to operate independently.

why choose gomspace?

In a world where maritime security defines national stability, clarity at sea is power. Governments, coast guards, and defense agencies around the globe choose GomSpace because we deliver sovereign Maritime Domain Awareness systems that put control, and confidence, back into national hands.

GomSpace built Denmark’s first MDA satellite for arctic surveillance, launched in 2018.
We have delivered satellite platform and RF sensing technology to more than 40 satellites, serving as the backbone of national and commercial RF monitoring systems.
With customers in 6o+ countries and 18+ years of experience with satellite missions, we know how to tailor solutions to national needs using our proven technology and lessons learned.
We implement programs designed for national ownership, operational independence, and long-term resilience, supported by local industry participation, training, and technology transfer via GomSpace Academy.

Built on proven satellite and RF heritage, the system scales to national needs and actively involves local industry, research institutions, and technology partners from day one – GomSpace makes your maritime awareness picture truly yours!

Capabilities

Track cooperative vessels using AIS signals, identifying movement patterns, AIS gaps, and unusual behaviours.
Identify non-cooperative or dark vessels through RF radar localization, detecting emitters and anomalous signal behavior.
Monitor maritime activity using VDES signals, supporting both vessel tracking and secure maritime communication services.
Provide wide-area maritime coverage with revisit rates scaled to national needs—from single-satellite missions to full constellations.
Fuse multi-sensor data (AIS, VDES, RF radar localisation, EO/SAR if integrated) into a unified maritime real-time situational awareness picture.
Monitor exclusive economic zones (EEZ) for illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities.
Detect offshore risks and infrastructure anomalies, including vessel proximity to energy platforms, pipelines, and restricted areas.

Strenghtening
Maritime Security

Get the full maritime domain awareness picture from space. Monitor operations, detect and track dark ships to prevent and mitigate danger and risks.

Task efficiently coast guard or naval assets to be present where they can make the most impact to keep your nation secure and sailors safe

Protecting Fisheries &
ECONOMIC INTERESTS

Coastal nations can deploys small satellites to monitor illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing across its EEZ. Even a single satellite provides wide-area detection of AIS gaps and suspicious behavior. Authorities receive timely alerts that support enforcement—protecting local industry and national income.

SAFEGUARDING SUBSEA
infraStructure with
SPACE-BASED SURVEILLANCE

Undersea cables and pipelines are the invisible infrastructure powering the global internet and energy networks – and they are increasingly at risk. Whether from accidental damage or deliberate interference, threats to these vital assets are growing.

Monitor suspicious activities over this vital infrastructure via AIS and RF monitoring.

As we continue to scale up—both in terms of business and organizational maturity— GomSpace has proven to be a responsive and capable partner, evolving alongside us at the right pace. Given the current global landscape and Unseenlabs strong commitment to serving both existing and future customers, close collaboration with partners like GomSpace is more crucial than ever.
