<strong>Application: </strong>Maritime threat detection with AI and edge-compute enabled TRITON AUSV

<strong>Situation:</strong> The US Navy is looking for smaller, less expensive <a href="https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/-/media/sites/magazine/2021-dist-a-don-st-strategy-for-intelligent-autonomous-systems-2-jul-2021.ashx"><em>Intelligent Autonomous Systems</em></a> (IASs) to cover gaps in maritime domain awareness

<strong>Challenge:</strong> The underlying operating system for intelligent autonomous systems that are highly automated and edge AI-enabled require specialized skills, time, and budget to build.

<strong>Solution: </strong>Ocean Aero turned to Numurus for off-the-shelf edge-compute hardware preinstalled with Numurus’ NEPI smart systems operating system for its TRITON AUSV

<strong>Result</strong><strong>: </strong> Within 6 months of starting their 360-degree maritime detection automation project Ocean Aero successfully interfaced 5 directional cameras with onboard AI models, then fielded, tested, and demonstrated automated maritime domain awareness capabilities on its TRITON AUSV.

<strong>Future: </strong>Potential for TRITON AUSV mission expansion to in-port asset protection, search and rescue at sea, subsea survey and inspection, and multi-vehicle domain awareness.
