 The Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) has signed a contract with the Czech aircraft manufacturer Aircraft Industries for one MSS 6000 Maritime Surveillance System. The system will be installed on an L 410 aircraft operated by the Estonian Border Guard Aviation Group.
The Estonian Border Guard Aviation Group is one of ten authorities within the Estonian Border Guard. The Estonian border includes 764 km of territorial sea border and the tasks of the border guard include dealing with marine pollution, search and rescue and illegal immigration.
Heike Schneider, SSC’s project manager, welcomes this opportunity to provide Estonia with a powerful tool in its sea surveillance activities. “It is also nice to know that you are doing something good for the Baltic environment” she says.
MSS 6000, the latest generation of SSC’s maritime surveillance system, comprises a field-proven suite of sensors integrated with dedicated mission management software. Sensor information, mission reports, target database, digital maps and other key information are integrated in the user interface. This gives the right support to the operator in every situation. It also has the capability to send data in real time to headquarters and other units and thus becomes an integrated part in the surveillance network.
The MSS 6000 and its predecessor MSS 5000 has been installed in a variety of airplanes in countries all around the world, for example, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Greece, USA and Canada.

Information from the sensors will be accessible from the operator console It is displayed in real time and is tightly integrated with a tactical map. The map will contain the current aircraft position and time marks on the flight track. The map image has a large number of operator selectable overlays such as background information (territorial borders, economic zone borders, protected areas etc.), geocorrected overlays from SLAR, IR/UV, AIS information, observation and target notes, notes on location of captured images from cameras.
