Solutions
Amber™ is Horizon Technologies’ CubeSat-based Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Non-ITAR Data as a Service (DaaS). The data is essentially Radio Frequency (RF) Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) from space.
The AMBER™ constellation of six satellites’ payload will be able to geolocate and monitor vessels worldwide by picking up their Radio Frequency (RF) electronic emissions.
Correlating AMBER™’s Signal Intelligence is able to provide enhanced maritime surveillance assisting Governmental Defence, Security and Law Enforcement Agencies with:
- Maritime Security
- Customs & Border Protection
- Homeland Security
- Battlespace Awareness
- Illegal Fishing
- Smuggling & Trafficking
- Piracy
- Terrorism & Insurgency
Our Vessel Tracking Solutions
The AMBER™ Constellation of CubeSats is a Space-Based Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Data-as-a-Service (DaaS).
The AMBER™ payload will be able to locate and track vessels worldwide by picking up their RF emissions using the L-Band Sat Phone detection sensor package derived from Horizon Technologies’ existing FlyingFish™ system, combined with X and S-Band sensors and an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver to detect, geolocate, and correlate these signals against the presence of AIS beacons.
Vessel RF emissions captured by AMBER™:

Our Signals Intelligence Services
AMBER™ is a 2nd Generation constellation which is unique as it will provide demodulated signal intelligence data from space in addition to the mere mapping of RF emitters. For example:
- The capability to demodulate the L-band Sat Phone signals, and in some cases provide call metadata enabling Sat Phone (user) identification and call content.
- Not only can the maritime radars be geolocated, but they can be “fingerprinted” as well; providing customers with the Specific Emitter ID (SEI) of each radar.
