ARES Security Corporation

Mariner is a multi-disciplinary team of situation awareness and technology professionals headquartered in Columbia, SC. Mariner has studied situation awareness in the maritime security domain for more than a decade and established itself as the industry leader of situational awareness (SA) and response management solutions. Mariner is at the forefront of regional maritime security with its innovative CommandBridge™ platform. Currently, CommandBridge is deployed in some of the nation’s most complex port regions, covering nearly 40-percent of the top 75 ports (as ranked by trade volume by the American Association of Port Authorities). Mariner has also become a thought leader in applying situational awareness principles to the maritime security domain through its goal-directed approach to situation awareness and workflow visualization, resulting in highly focused, actionable awareness. CommandBridge uses advanced technology to assimilate sensor feeds, cut through clutter, and provide crucial information to decision makers. Rather than merely collect and display data, Mariner’s Web-based technology allows operations personnel, command-and-control centers, intelligence analysts, and others to collaboratively interpret information and make actionable recommendations. With an intense focus on increasing awareness by reducing data clutter, CommandBridge equips leaders and other key personnel with the tools to distinguish legitimate activity from irregular/threatening behavior.
