Long-Range Identification and Tracking

Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) is a system used to monitor ships across large distances, especially over oceans. It transmits information like the ship's identity, position, and course to land-based authorities via satellite or radio signals. This helps ensure maritime safety, security, and efficient navigation by providing continuous, real-time location data. LRIT is part of international efforts to prevent illegal activities, improve search and rescue efforts, and facilitate maritime traffic management, making the oceans safer and more secure for everyone.
