Abstract: Systems and methods for harbor surveillance according to several embodiments of the present invention can include a plurality of buoys that are arranged in a harbor in a predetermined pattern. The buoys can have various components for computing buoy position data, including but not limited to an accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, compass, and a transmitter. The buoys can be equidistant from each other, and in some embodiments, the buoys can be submerged. The buoy position data can be received by a remote receiver. A processor that is connected to the received can convert the buoy position data, or change in data due to movement of a buoy cause by a Kelvin wake, which is further due to vessel movement through the harbor, into a determination of vessel presence, course and speed, using a fuzzy neural network algorithm.
