Problem
Existing maritime domain awareness systems often have gaps in coverage, particularly in the open ocean, making it difficult to monitor vessel activity and detect potential threats. Traditional assets may not provide the persistent, real-time visibility needed for effective maritime security and intelligence. The lack of comprehensive data can lead to delayed responses and increased risk.
Solution
Quartermaster provides a distributed maritime sensing network that leverages vessel-mounted hardware, HD video, geolocation, and AI to enhance maritime domain awareness. By transforming civilian and commercial fleets into a persistent sensing layer, Quartermaster fills intelligence blindspots and delivers real-time visibility across the world's oceans. The system uses multimodal AI to identify vessels of interest, detect suspicious behaviors, and flag potential threats, enabling operators to respond quickly and confidently. High-quality video capture and location authentication ensure that gathered intelligence meets chain of evidence standards.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes maritime security organizations, commercial fleet operators, and government agencies responsible for monitoring and protecting maritime assets and infrastructure.
