Frequently Asked Questions
What security challenges does Seychelles face?
Seychelles faces significant maritime threats in the western Indian Ocean: Somali piracy (reduced since 2012, but latent), trans-oceanic drug trafficking (Colombia/Afghanistan routes to Europe/Asia), and management of its vast 1.37 million km² EEZ with only ~98,000 inhabitants. Tourism dependency (~25% GDP) means security incidents have immediate economic impact.
How does KabatOne support Seychelles security forces?
KabatOne provides unified situational awareness for the Seychelles People's Defence Forces (SPDF ~500 personnel), National Police Agency (NPA), Coast Guard, and National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA). The platform integrates Indian Ocean maritime surveillance, CAD dispatch across the ~115 inhabited islands, video analytics for Victoria Port and Seychelles International Airport, and coordination with EUNAVFOR Atalanta and Combined Maritime Forces (CMF).
What critical infrastructure requires protection in Seychelles?
Critical infrastructure includes Victoria Port (western Indian Ocean's largest transshipment hub), Seychelles International Airport (SEZ/Mahe), luxury resort complexes on Mahe/Praslin/La Digue (~350,000 tourists/year), PUC energy plants, SAFE/SEAS submarine cables (East Africa connectivity), and the Regional Coordination Operations Centre (RCOC) for Indian Ocean anti-piracy.
How does KabatOne manage maritime surveillance across Seychelles' vast EEZ?
KabatOne integrates satellite AIS/radar tracking from the Seychelles Coast Guard across the 1.37 million km² EEZ — the world's largest per capita. The platform coordinates with the Victoria RCOC, EUNAVFOR Atalanta, Combined Maritime Forces (CTF-150/151), and the Indian Ocean Regional Maritime Awareness System (MASE). It provides IUU illegal fishing alerts, suspicious vessel tracking, and piracy incident response protocols.
