At the International Maritime Defense Show "Fleet-2026" in Kronstadt, the Shvabe holding presented several diverse marine surveillance systems designed for round-the-clock monitoring of coastal areas and automatic detection of small-sized targets, including vessels and potential threats.
The key novelty was the Video Thermal Imaging Monitoring and Analytics System (SVTMA). It uses artificial intelligence algorithms to process video streams in real-time: the system not only detects objects but also automatically recognizes their type, generating a signal about a possible perimeter violation. According to stated characteristics, SVTMA detects small-sized vessels at a distance of up to 10 km during the day and up to 5.6 km at night, reducing operator workload through automatic primary analytics.
Separately, the long-range complex "Astron-3V" was presented at the exhibition. It is designed for multi-zone surveillance and provides target detection at a distance of up to 12 km in daylight conditions and up to 6 km at night. A feature of the system is two thermal imaging channels, allowing simultaneous control of near and far zones without switching observation modes.
The design of "Astron-3V" supports combining up to six devices into a single surveillance network. In this configuration, a continuous control perimeter is formed for large objects and extended coastlines, and the operator receives an image on the screen from the most "effective" camera depending on the target's position.
In addition to stationary solutions, Shvabe demonstrated a wearable combined observation device. It is made in the form of binoculars and combines television, thermal imaging, and laser rangefinder channels. The device is designed for operational monitoring of water areas in difficult weather conditions and is intended for field use.
