PURSUIT generates automatic alerts and provides authorities with a geospatial viewer offering early situational awareness, significantly reducing response times to environmental emergencies.
Antonio Águila, Manager in CNS-ATM Systems at Ineco, has presented PURSUIT to the European Parliament, a proprietary technological solution developed in the company’s Innovation 2025 programme that is already delivering very promising results in the fight against marine pollution.
The tool combines satellite imagery from the European Copernicus programme (via the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites) with an artificial intelligence model and maritime traffic data to detect spills at sea more quickly and accurately. It also incorporates AIS data to link incidents to potential vessels operating in the area.
Thanks to this technology, PURSUIT can generate automatic alerts and provide authorities with a geospatial viewer offering early situational awareness, significantly reducing response times in environmental emergencies.
The session was coordinated by Space Y, an association of which Ineco has been a member for several years. Its aim is to promote applications developed using components of the European Space Programme, and the event focused on presenting such applications to the EU Parliament’s Intergroup on Resilience, Disaster Management and Civil Protection.
