Key Intelligence Findings
Velocity Fraud — 7 Speed Anomaly Events
AIS SOG field manipulated to broadcast physically impossible speeds up to 39.9 knots. Systematic falsification of movement data to corrupt automated tracking algorithms.
Evasion Navigation — 40 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 166.1° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers or anchor position AIS noise.

AIS SOG FRAUD
Speed anomaly events are triggered when AIS Speed Over Ground (SOG) exceeds the 30-knot detection threshold. PACIFIC FORCE reports speeds up to 39.9 kn — consistent with deliberate AIS SOG field manipulation to corrupt tracking algorithms.

Type Mismatch Assessment
AIS Declared Type
vessel_type=37 (Pleasure Craft)
Behavior Consistency
INCONSISTENT — year-round multi-port operations with 119 anomalous events are not consistent with pleasure craft use
Speed Capability
Within or near physical limits for vessel type
Inspection Priority
HIGH — Recommend USCG/CBSA physical boarding and documentation review
