In recent years, the world economy has developed rapidly, the demand for resources in various countries has continued to increase, and the ocean shipping market has been booming. However, as the situation in Somalia and other regions has deteriorated, the group of pirates has continued to grow. Among them, Somali pirates are the most famous. Surrounded by Somalia and Yemen, the Gulf of Aden is located between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. It is the maritime throat from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Its strategic position is very important. According to statistics, about 18,000 ships pass through the Suez Canal every year, most of which pass through the Gulf of Aden. There are hundreds of hijacking incidents happening here every year, and pirates’ weapons and equipment are constantly being updated. However, due to the local situation, it is almost impossible for countries to eliminate pirates.

In this context, what we can do is to immediately strengthen the ship’s own protection measures to avoid the occurrence of pirate hijacking incidents. However, the existing anti-piracy methods are single, and the attack strength is not enough to truly protect the safety of ships and cargo. At the same time, human intervention is required, so that the crew needs to face the pirates in the fight against piracy, and put the crew in a dangerous environment.
As an enterprise engaged in the research and development of security systems for the Internet of Things, our company has designed a new type of ship anti-hijacking system that can effectively prevent pirate hijacking based on the characteristics of the ship itself and the use of sensor networks.
Main features of this system
1. Adopt sensor network layout to realize omni-directional three-dimensional detection during ship navigation.
2. Use the world’s advanced anti-terrorism equipment to actively combat pirates who attempt to board the ship.
3. Use an intelligent control system to automatically control related equipment.
4. Automatic and remote control of high-pressure water guns and other equipment based on the characteristics of the ship’s own equipment.
5. Completely avoid the frontal contact between the crew and the pirates to ensure the safety of the crew
6. Key defenses for key areas (engine room, communication room, bridge, rest area).
7. Combined with the original communication equipment of the ship, it can realize the automatic alarm function.
The system is mainly divided into the following parts
1.Intrusion detection system around ships
2.Anti-boarding alarm defense system
3.Deck and trail precise positioning and defense system
4.Key area identification and positioning system
5.Ship Auxiliary Personnel Management System
System Overview
1.Intrusion detection system around ships
The system is mainly responsible for guarding the surrounding areas of the moving ship. The system adopts multiple short-range radar overlay recognition technology, and adopts intelligent software analysis and judgment to process the collected signals, and then form a three-dimensional detection of the area near the ship. It can detect the intrusion from the water surface and the air, and quickly locate the intrusion point.
2. Anti-boarding alarm defense system:
At the same time, the system has automatic defense function. Through the signal output and feedback of the control unit, the ship’s high-pressure water gun can be automatically controlled. When an approach is detected, the system will automatically adjust the water gun to spray the point according to the coordinate of the occurrence point. Multi-point linkage is possible At the same time, the system’s built-in anti-terrorism defense means can implement different degrees of attack on persons attempting to board the ship. In addition to automatic processing, human intervention functions are added. Related personnel can manually control external equipment on the bridge, which further improves defense Effectiveness.
3.Deck and walkway precise positioning and defense system
If the perimeter defense is breached after boarding, the system automatically adjusts the center of defense, implements precise positioning of personnel on the deck and trail area, and initiates defense measures to defend personnel entering this area. A combination of multiple defense methods improves the attack strength. The possibility of frontal contact between the crew and the pirates is avoided, and autonomous defense is realized.
4.Key area identification and positioning system
This system mainly conducts personnel detection, identity recognition, and mobile positioning for personnel living areas, computer rooms, communication rooms, and cabs. The system intelligently analyzes and judges such areas through various sensor element feedback signals. Through the door control and identity recognition of each area, the personnel who failed to pass the identification attempt to forcibly enter are defended, and at the same time, multiple defenses are set up in the main passages of each area to track and defend the intruders. Set manual defense function for the bridge and engine room area. When the illegal intruder arrives in the area, the system can activate the tracking defense function according to the relevant crew instructions to conduct defensive attacks on non-crew in the area.
5. Ship personnel and auxiliary management system
At the same time, the system has the function of intelligent detection and control, which can summarize various parameters of the ship, analyze and judge it centrally, and then transfer it to the control unit for automatic control, such as the fire fighting system, fuel system, and so on. At the same time, the system can register the identity information of the personnel in each area, as well as the location and count of the personnel in the area, which is convenient for the captain to arrange the personnel dispatch. All system functions have automatic and manual dual modes, and the function settings can be easily realized through the man-machine dialogue function, and the system can be switched between startup and shutdown. And the system can automatically warn all personnel the first time the intrusion occurs, and send relevant information to the designated target.
Concluding remarks
This system fully takes into account the particularity of the ship and the preconditions such as the personal safety of the crew. Through active defense and non-contact defense, the safety of the ship and the crew is protected to the utmost extent, and the safety of the ship is minimized. The possibility of hijacking. The ship’s security defense has been raised to a new level.
