Problem
Uncrewed maritime platforms require advanced acoustic sensors and signal processing for autonomous navigation, environmental monitoring, and threat detection. Integrating these capabilities into existing platforms can be complex and costly, often requiring specialized expertise in sensor development, embedded hardware design, and data fusion.
Solution
Crewless Marine provides end-to-end autonomous acoustic solutions tailored for uncrewed maritime operations. The company leverages expertise in sensor development, embedded hardware design, acoustic signal processing, and data fusion to deliver integrated systems. These systems enable uncrewed platforms to perform tasks such as monitoring acoustic emissions from wind turbines, detecting and tracking marine mammals, monitoring underwater noise pollution, and identifying potential security threats. Crewless Marine offers both research and development services for custom acoustic arrays, as well as commercial products designed for autonomous integration.
Target Audience
The primary customers are operators of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) and uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) across various industries, including offshore wind, marine mammal research, environmental monitoring, and maritime security.
