Cobham’s C4I Marine Interdiction Operations System (MIOS) is a Situational Awareness and Blue Force Tracking system specifically developed for secure Boarding Party and Defence applications. The system has been designed to support Military, Coast Guard, Search and Rescue, Border Protection, Law Enforcement and Special Forces organisations who are countering the increased threat from Piracy, Smuggling and Human Trafficking. Cobham has developed MIOS through its experience as a world leader in the design and manufacture of systems for land and marine platforms. From design to delivery, the company has focussed on providing a solution which utilises bespoke military spec hardware that operates reliably in challenging environmental conditions. MIOS is designed for ease of integration with existing systems and utilises Cobham’s WaveHawk™ Command Information System (CIS) Software to provide a combined picture for effective operations. MIOS may be used with a range of legacy equipment and the Boarding Party system is designed to be radio and battery agnostic. This leads to a reduction in training, integration and support costs. The lightweight, body worn equipment allows users to quickly capture and transmit video files and still images of ships, documents and people, without the need for separate scanners, transmitters and antennas. This dramatically increases the speed of data transfer to support improved decision making by Commanders in remote locations. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) sensors may be used by Boarding Parties to identify hidden threats and protect crews. Automatic reports are created and transmitted to selected users with Cobham’s WaveHawk™ software. Reports quickly identify the location, type and level of threat when detected. MIOS can be used on a range of Platforms including RHIBs, Landing Craft, Ships and amphibious vehicles, providing a fully scalable solution for modern military and security operations.
