Shouldn’t an unmanned platform have all kinds of sensors (video, radar) watching everything within a radius around it?

This is a really basic, simple platform, which is why it is unmanned.

It does have the warning lights. But video and radar would not help on the platform, it cannot move out of the way.

That is why the moving ships use radar and a watchful eye, usually.
