Open Ocean Robotics’ solution detects small craft without AIS transponders, identifies unusual behaviors, and provides real-time alerts to ship operators. It utilises a hardware and software platform with robotics, AI, and long-endurance uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) equipped with visual and thermal computer vision to monitor areas of interest. Detections are transmitted in real- time to XplorerView, a secure cloud-based portal that alerts watchkeepers, ports, and enforcement agencies. This system supports real-time response, post-incident investigations, and legal proceedings. Compatible with existing systems, it allows seamless integration via APIs and enhanced analytics through external data feeds.
