Updated MSS 6000 Surveillance System for Finland

The MSS 6000 is built for real-time monitoring of sea-surface activities and is in continuous development. The newest version has been taken into operation by the Finnish Border Guard (FBG) for surveillance tasks. The core of the MSS 6000 is a mission management system that links all available information together and presents a situation overview to the operator for interpretation and further action.


The new MSS 6000 configuration integrates several new types of information, which increases the situational awareness and enhances the cooperation between all crew members. The FBG configurationfeatures two operator workstations from which all sensors can be operated, an upgraded cockpit display for bringing up-to-date situation information to the pilots and an observer station that can be used, for example, by an observer from another organisation or authority.

The mission management system is based on GIS (Geographical Information System) technology, and the available information is presented against a backdrop of a digital nautical chart.

The information from onboard sensors and external inputs is presented live to the operator and also recorded digitally for later analysis.
The mission management system generates various reports, of which some can be customised to meet specific requirements. These reports can be viewed, analysed and distributed in real time or filed, compiled and distributed later.

A post-processing station, located at the mission control centre and/or at the aircraft home base will allow replay of the mission data for continued analysis and processing.

Typical missions include:
  • General surveillance for protection of the Exclusive Economic Zone
  • Oil spill tracking
  • Border control
  • Fishery surveillance
  • Ship traffic control
  • Search and rescue
