DESIGN OF SEA BALL FOR MARITIME SECURITY

摘要

ABSTRACT Design of SEA BALL for Maritime Security Maritime coastal security is of utmost importance as it affects a nation™s safety. Threats such as illegal fishing, drug trafficking and infiltration can be avoided by deploying a floating spherical surveillance robot called as SEA BALL�. The SEA BALL collects real time data from the ocean using its surveillance camera, environmental sensors and transmits the collected information to a remote monitoring station. Thin-film solar cells and linear generators are used to power the SEA BALL. ARM cortex main processing unit controls the functions of entire SEA BALL and also helps to communicate to remote region using GSM/GPRS network. The outer surface of SEA BALL is covered by neoprene polymer sheets with ferrite grains which give stealth mode to the SEA BALL from radar.
