Oil Spill Detection and Mitigation

ABSTRACT Two different oil spill surveillance systems have been developed by the Swedish Space Corporation for the Swedish Coast Guard and the Swedish Board for Space Activities. These systems are installed in two Coast Guard Cessna 337 aircraft. One of the systems is based on a side looking airborne radar, developed by L. M. Ericsson Telephone Company under contract to the SSC, and the other on a Daedalus infrared/ultraviolet line scanner. Both systems generate real-time imagery on a television monitor. In addition to the remote-sensing equipment, both aircraft have a Decca tactical air navigational system and a camera system on board. The technical evaluation and field testing of the two surveillance systems was carried out during 1978. The systems gradually will be put into operational use by the Swedish Coast Guard for coastal surveillance.
