Airborne Surveillance
Fixed-wing surveillance protecting Australia’s borders
We deliver fixed-wing border surveillance for the Australian Border Force.
Our operations cover Australia’s 8.2 million square kilometre exclusive economic zone - the world’s largest outsourced civil maritime surveillance program.
Australia’s national objective for civil maritime security is to detect, deter, respond to and prevent illegal activity from occurring in Australia’s maritime jurisdiction. It is a complex and dynamic environment where aerial surveillance services are critical and required to be flexible.

We operate a fleet of highly modified surveillance aircraft, flying 15,000 hours across 2,500 missions each year - delivering all-weather, day-and-night coverage.
Advanced sensors and integrated satellite systems enable real-time communication with the Australian Border Force command centre.
