Ship to Shore Communications Primary Communications: Secondary Back Up Communications: Vessel Location: Vessel Remote Monitoring System Hydronaut uses the Bluewave Remote Alarm System to monitor the performance of vessel critical components such as engines and generators. Remote operators continually monitor equipment status reports as well as alarm conditions. The remote monitoring system allows operators to interrogate alarm conditions and take appropriate actions as necessary.

Remote Piloting / Autonomous Systems Hardware Remote Piloting Hardware Sensor Telemetry: GSM/LoRa/WIFI Comms Vessel Heading: Weather Station: Maximet 500 Wind Speed Ouster OS1-128 Gen2 Thermal Cameras: 4 FLIR Boson 640 60Hz Cameras Navigation Controls: Marine Antenna: Field of View Camera: Remote Piloting Software MarineAI’s software stack consists of capabilities that range from low level sensor integration up to the high-level autonomy decision engine. The following section describes each of the product offerings. GUARDIAN VISION (Computer Vision) Detects, classifies, and tracks obstacles...

GUARDIAN SENSE (Sensor Fusion) Interfaces to supported sensors providing data retrieval, data quality analysis, and sensor failure recovery functions. Data is fused and filtered to produce a map of marine contacts and hazards which is then provided to either “Guardian Manned” or the “Guardian Autonomy” engine. The module takes inputs from: • GNSS • S57/S100charts • AIS (Terrestrial and Satellite) • Radar • “GuardianVision” GUARDIAN MANNED (Recommendation-Based Safe Navigation) Course and speed recommendations are presented to the pilot of a crewed vessel to assist in guiding the vessel...

DEPLOYED HARDWARE Two primary compute resources are used to run the above software suite. “Guardian Core” contains a low-power GPUcapable NVIDIA edge device which runs the Guardian Sense and Vision software layers. • IP67-rated and passively cooled enclosure • Powered by a standardized 24Vdc supply Figure 4. Guardian Core hardware • Ethernet, CAN bus, and serial communications COMMUNICATION Interaction with the vessel is achieved using both local and global communication solutions. A Peplink Max Transit SD-WAN unit installed on the vessel manages the following transport services: • Local...
