Windward Launches Maritime Intelligence Operations Centre

Windward, the leading Maritime AI™ intelligence company, has announced the launch of the Windward Maritime Intelligence Operations Center (MIOC), a dedicated, mission-critical intelligence service designed to deliver real-time, decision-grade maritime intelligence for government agencies, commercial enterprises, legal organizations, and insurance companies operating in high-risk and complex maritime environments.

Rising geopolitical tensions, expanding sanctions regimes, gray-zone maritime warfare, and increasing threats to critical infrastructure have fundamentally changed the maritime risk landscape.

At the same time, the explosion of data sources and monitoring tools has created more noise than clarity—leaving decision-makers with fragmented insights rather than defensible intelligence they can act on with confidence.

The Windward MIOC is built to address this challenge head-on.

Operating as a seamless extension of customer teams—either embedded on-site or deployed remotely—the MIOC introduces a new operational standard for maritime intelligence.

Modeled on best practices from Global Security Operations Centers (GSOCs) and Cyber SOCs, the center shifts maritime intelligence from passive monitoring to active, mission-driven orchestration.

Powered by Windward’s patented Maritime AI™, the MIOC combines proprietary Agentic AI with multi-source intelligence and a dedicated team of experienced analysts.

An Agentic AI SOAR layer automates complex investigations, reducing Mean Time to Decision (MTTD) by up to 80 percent, while the Multi-Domain Fusion model integrates satellite imagery (SAR/EO), digital signals, and RF spectrum data—eliminating the silos routinely exploited by sophisticated threat actors.

The MIOC also enables proactive threat hunting, using advanced Pattern-of-Life baselines to identify emerging evasion tactics before they escalate. This approach delivers high-fidelity intelligence reporting that allows organizations to anticipate risk, validate threats, and act decisively.

“As maritime threats grow more sophisticated, organizations can no longer rely on fragmented tools or reactive analysis,” said Ami Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Windward.

“The Windward MIOC was built to serve as the ultimate mission partner—combining elite tradecraft with agentic AI. Our customers can now draw on 15 years of innovation and hundreds of years of combined maritime and intelligence expertise to operate with the precision, agility, and authority today’s missions demand.”

Through the MIOC, Windward delivers a comprehensive suite of intelligence capabilities, including Subsea Infrastructure Monitoring, Multi-Sensor Fusion, Investigative Due Diligence, IUU and Forced Labor Screening, Environmental Forensics, and Legal and Incident Reconstruction.

The Windward MIOC operates as a fully configurable intelligence operations center, tailored to each organization’s mission and operational requirements. Services are available via subscription for continuous real-time monitoring or on an ad-hoc basis, and can be delivered remotely or physically embedded within customer organizations.
