EuroNav 7, integrated with ARTEMIS, can identify, locate and interact with cell phones. This feature not only enables effective help for people in distress but also provides first-class support in disaster control and in the fight against people smuggling and supporting other maritime patrol operations. The system also detects the cell phone’s country of origin making it the perfect tool for detecting border intrusions.

Andrew Munro, Managing Director of Smith Myers said: “ARTEMIS interacts with and geolocates the cell phone quickly and precisely using the cellular protocol itself.  EuroNav 7 displays this information and enables the automatic steering of other sensors onto the cell phone’s location. The location of thousands of handsets can be established very quickly and displayed on EuroNav 7.”
