There have been increased attempts to enter countries illegally via the sea due to successes in controlling entries at land borders. Hence, it is paramount that countries have in place a rigorous coastal patrol and surveillance capability to minimise illegal immigration as well as coastal intrusions. The Coastal Patrol and Surveillance Application offers an effective solution for authorities such as Navies and Maritime Security Agencies responsible for safeguarding the coastal boundaries against terrorists, smugglers of contraband, drugs or even people.  This application is also of importance to Emergency Rescue Agencies and Fire Services who attend to fire emergencies on vessels.
