Key Intelligence Findings
AIS Blackout Confirmed — 4 Events
Deliberate AIS transponder deactivation detected. Each event represents a period where C-FIGHTER was operating outside electronic surveillance. Consistent with covert cargo transfer or evasion operations.
Evasion Navigation — 38 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 157.5° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers or anchor position AIS noise.
