Key Intelligence Findings
AIS Blackout Confirmed — 7 Events
Deliberate AIS transponder deactivation detected. Each event represents a period where THE SEVEN D'S was operating outside electronic surveillance. Consistent with covert cargo transfer or evasion operations.
GPS Spoofing — 32 Position Jumps
AIS coordinates fabricated at impossible locations. Maximum jump of 4,124 km confirms the AIS transmitter is broadcasting false positions. Systematic identity concealment is in progress.
Velocity Fraud — 46 Speed Anomaly Events
AIS SOG field manipulated to broadcast physically impossible speeds up to 102.2 knots. Systematic falsification of movement data to corrupt automated tracking algorithms.
Evasion Navigation — 50 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 161.1° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers or anchor position AIS noise.
