How Unseenlabs’ RF Intelligence Supports Strategic Monitoring of Chinese Coast Guard Ships in the West Philippine Sea
Unleash the power of Unseenlabs' RF technology to reveal hidden maritime activities in the West Philippine Sea, and gain unmatched insights in critical areas.
Unseenlabs makes the invisible visible
We just released a new use case in the West Philippine Sea, a region where overlapping sovereignty claims and gray-zone tactics make transparency critical.
Through two RF data collection campaigns, we detected and geolocated:
- 25,593 RF positions in total
- ≈ 7% of RF-only positions (vessels not reporting AIS)
- 92% of vessel activity in the Dangerous Ground missed by AIS
- 1 prominent Chinese Coast Guard vessel, continuously tracked even when its AIS went dark
This case shows how independent, space-based RF intelligence provides persistent visibility in contested waters, supporting decision-makers with reliable evidence when traditional tracking fails.

At Unseenlabs, we’re turning the unseen into actionable intelligence!
