Abstract

The future of Naval surface warfare will involve a large fleet of airborne, surface, and subsurface unmanned vehicles. Unmanned surface vehicles (USV) must autonomously navigate safely through congested waters, avoiding obstacles. USVs must also be able to autonomously process their sensor data in real-time for situational awareness. UtopiaCompression’s (UC) Maritime Visual Analytics (MVA) technologies enable both military and civilian users to process visual data. In this SBIR project, UC will build on MVA to create a deep learning surface object classifier providing USVs with instant situational awareness of the objects in their vicinity as well as the unfolding events.
