1 AUTONOMOUS MAN-OVERBOARD DETECTION AND TRACKING

2 THE SYSTEM AUTONOMOUS MAN-OVERBOARD DETECTION & TRACKING The MOBtronic man-overboard system operates autonomously, instantly detecting and classifying a human falling overboard a vessel or structure. Multiple sensor stations are mounted around the vessel or structure at strategic locations for instant detection and classification of a MOB incident activating alarms. The intuitive command and control interface presents radar and video evidence for immediate confirmation and identification by the crew, while tracking of the victim at sea enables rapid response. Following 7 years of rigorous testing in all weather conditions, sea states and vessel activities, MOBtronic is highly proven with a probability of detection (Pd) exceeding 95% and low nuisance system activation (<2 per week).

3 THE TECHNOLOGY AUTONOMOUS MULTI SENSOR OBSERVATION TECHNOLOGY FOR MAXIMUM RELIABILITY AND EFFECTIVE OPERATION IN ALL CONDITIONS HARDWARE Each station is a self-contained unit integrating micro radars, imaging sensors and electronics for data acquisition and analysis. SOFTWARE Patent pending, proprietary signal processing algorithms detect, track and classify falling objects. UI The intuitive command and control interface presents radar and video evidence for immediate confirmation and identification. MARSS COPYRIGHT

4 5-LAYER DECISION HIERARCHY RADAR DETECTING & TRACKING Multiple radars simultaneously monitor volumes of interest - falling objects are detected and tracked TRACK CONFIRMATION Radar track are confirmed by independent sensors BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS Behavior of confirmed tracks is analyzed (based on speed, fall direction, shape, strength) in order to flag a MOB track VIDEO ANALYTICS Multi-sensor merging: MOB radar tracks are further classified based on their IR signature (object shape, dimension/range) CREW Visual confirmation by crew based on video replay; within seconds crew can confirm per video if detected object is a human MARSS COPYRIGHT

5 OPERATING PHASE #1 - MONITORING Multiple sensors simultaneously monitor volumes of interest around the vessel. MARSS COPYRIGHT

6 OPERATING PHASE #2 DETECTION & ANALYSIS Falling objects are detected, with independent sensors confirming MOB incident and alerting crew. Behavior of confirmed track is analyzed (based on speed, fall direction, shape & strength) in order to flag a MOB track. MARSS COPYRIGHT

7 OPERATING PHASE #3 TRACKING & SAR Multi-sensor merging ensures that MOB radar tracks are further classified based on their IR signature (object shape, dimension/range), while live video feeds and tracking of the victim aids SAR operations. MARSS COPYRIGHT
