Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a probability of future pirate activity in a geographical area of interest, comprising: receiving, at a computer programmed with appropriate software, INTEL data representative of intelligence information relating to at least one pirate group in the geographical area of interest, the INTEL data including data of at least one of a meteorological and a climatological threshold associated with the pirate group; receiving, at the computer, METOC data representative of meteorological and climatological information associated with the geographical area of interest; generating, at the computer, data of a plurality of model pirate trajectories for the pirate group, each trajectory having a specific associated set of INTEL and METOC attributes for the pirate group; compiling, at the computer, the data of the model pirate trajectories; and calculating a probability distribution of a presence of the pirate group in the geographical area of interest for at least one future time period based on the compiled model pirate trajectories.
