London, UK – Maritime AI company Orca AI has launched the next generation of its AI-based operational platform, delivering a seamless 360° field of view (FOV) around a vessel as a foundation for advanced collision avoidance and autonomous navigation.
DIGITAL WATCHKEEPING SUPERCHARGED
The 360° FOV configuration is enabled by three SeaPod lookout units, each equipped with high-sensitivity RGB and thermal cameras. Working in unison, they deliver continuous full-perimeter coverage and unified situational awareness around the vessel, enabling detection of overtaking vessels and piracy threats, and overcoming line-of-sight constraints caused by cranes, wind rotor sails, and other deck equipment.
STRENGTHENING FULL-SURROUND AWARENESS
Demand for full-surround awareness has increased over the past year, as it enhances what navigators can see and assess on the bridge – especially in dense traffic and in areas where radar can struggle to consistently track contacts, including small, fast-moving craft. The solution has already been delivered to multiple customers with proven sea-time. (....)
