Real-time maritime domain awareness for the Philippine EEZ and West Philippine Sea.
WPS Sentinel is a lightweight maritime situational awareness platform for the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone, with a focus on the West Philippine Sea. It aggregates live AIS vessel data and open-source intelligence relevant to Philippine sovereignty and maritime security.
