Arctic Maritime Awareness for Safety and Security (AMASS) : final report / Prepared by: Scott Buffett ... [et al.], National Research Council.: D68-3/319-2017E-PDF

"The Arctic Maritime Awareness for Safety and Security (AMASS) project adapted, configured and demonstrated maritime domain awareness capabilities for ship detection, classification and tracking, route/destination prediction, suspicious vessel alerts and oil spill monitoring for exploitation by User Government Partners (UGPs), viz. the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Transport Canada (TC), the RCMP, Environment Canada (EC) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The ship detection, classification and tracking capability included detection and classification of “dark” ships, i.e. vessels that do not self-report through services such as the Automatic Identification System (AIS), Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) and the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), but can nevertheless be detected in satellite imagery"--Introduction, p. 3.
