Key Intelligence Findings
Velocity Fraud — 1 Speed Anomaly Events
AIS SOG field manipulated to broadcast physically impossible speeds up to 31.7 knots. Systematic falsification of movement data to corrupt automated tracking algorithms.
Evasion Navigation — 29 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 149.0° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers or anchor position AIS noise.
