Our focus

Coastal and
harbor watch.

We’re interested in how sources enter a system, how their information reaches the watch station, and how software can help people assess what deserves attention.

Working in coastal and harbor settings gives us concrete integration problems and a person on watch to design for.

Integration partners

Working within
the system.

Maritime systems bring together equipment and software from many suppliers. We aim to build useful parts of that larger system and work alongside the organizations responsible for integrating and delivering it.

Development stage

In the lab.

We’re developing a C2i watch station and testing early components of a shared source layer. The AI Decision Aid (AIDA) is in research and early evaluation. Its intended role is to present suggestions for operator review.
