Key Intelligence Findings
Velocity Fraud — 2 Speed Anomaly Events
AIS SOG field manipulated to broadcast physically impossible speeds up to 43.8 knots. Systematic falsification of movement data to corrupt automated tracking algorithms.
Evasion Navigation — 3 Zigzag Events
Erratic course-over-ground patterns up to 127.9° std deviation, far exceeding the 50° anomaly threshold. Pattern consistent with surveillance evasion maneuvers.

AIS SOG FRAUD
Speed anomaly events are triggered when AIS Speed Over Ground (SOG) exceeds the 30-knot detection threshold. FREEDOM reports speeds up to 43.8 kn — consistent with deliberate AIS SOG field manipulation to corrupt tracking algorithms.
