Key Intelligence Findings
AIS Blackout Confirmed — 7 Events
Deliberate AIS transponder deactivation detected. Each event represents a period where OCEAN EVOLUTION was operating outside electronic surveillance. Consistent with covert cargo transfer or evasion operations.
Evasion Navigation — 41 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 104.0° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers or anchor position AIS noise.
