Pole Star Global

Pole Star Global provides maritime intelligence and technology to defense organizations, supporting mission planning, operational awareness, and security. Its Pole Star Defense platform is used by more than 60 governments and combines information from AIS, LRIT, and other data sources to track vessels worldwide. The company says its network monitors more than 40,000 vessels globally and provides first-party data across more than 100,000 vessels.

Services include persistent vessel tracking, dark-fleet detection, monitoring for spoofing and other illicit activity, behavioral analysis, and alerts for potential threats. Dashboards and integrated intelligence workflows help teams assess risk and make timely decisions across maritime domain awareness, homeland security, and border patrol missions. Data feeds and APIs also support analytics and integration with existing defense and command systems. Solutions are available through SaaS or APIs.

Pole Star Global works with defense agencies, system integrators, and technology partners. Its case studies describe support for multi-agency response coordination, efforts to address illegal fishing, and assistance to the Panama Maritime Authority in identifying and removing sanctioned vessels from its registry.
