The maritime industry is seeing the rapid emergence of a large number of new technological developments with the ability to revolutionise efficiency and safety in Europe’s busy waters. Implementing these technologies successfully requires the involvement of, and engagement with, maritime administrations, Aid to Navigation (AtoN) service providers, port authorities, vessel operators and manufacturers. Therefore, constructing a viable business case for the necessary investments requires a complex understanding of public sector and societal benefits as well as knowledge of what the cost/benefit to each participant is likely to be.

Helios supports its customers in the development and implementation of new technologies. Our key services include:

• Business case development
• Technology feasibility assessments 
• Technology strategy development
• Market analysis 
• System and concept modelling and analysis
• System (e.g. Radar, AIS) performance simulation
• Project management and costing
• Standardisation support
• Procurement support
  

Helios has been active in the maritime domain for a number of years supporting the introduction of technologies and concepts such as AIS as an AtoN, enhanced Loran (eLoran) and eNavigation.
