Mission Areas
POSEIDON is configurable for a wide range of defence, security, and monitoring operations
Deploy an autonomous swarm to create persistent security perimeters around ports, harbours, and strategic waterways with comprehensive monitoring of critical maritime infrastructure.
Rapidly deploy an autonomous swarm to locate missing persons or vessels across vast maritime areas. AI-enhanced pattern recognition accelerates search operations while reducing crew risk.
Establish protective perimeters around high-value naval assets. Continuous monitoring provides early warning of potential threats while maintaining operational security.
Support mine detection and clearance operations with precision navigation and sensor deployment. Reduce personnel exposure to explosive hazards through autonomous reconnaissance.
Conduct discreet surveillance and intelligence collection with minimal detection risk. Advanced stealth capabilities enable operations in contested maritime environments.
Protect offshore energy infrastructure, undersea cables, and maritime assets with persistent autonomous surveillance covering large operational areas.
Platform Overview
From operator intent to mission execution — one integrated platform
Natural language mission tasking transforms operator intent into autonomous execution. Describe the mission — POSEIDON handles the rest, from planning through deployment to reporting.
Coordinated surface and subsurface vessels operate as a unified sensor web. Self-healing mesh networking maintains persistent coverage across vast maritime areas.
Scalable deployment from localised protection to wide-area maritime monitoring. Mission-configurable operations through an operator-focused command interface.
The Fleet
Coordinated swarm operations across surface, subsurface, and aerial domains
Persistent Surface Surveillance
Long-range surface USV. Battery + solar endurance. Multi-sensor payload with real-time AI detection and classification.
Hybrid Surface / Subsurface
Transitions between surface and submerged operation. Stealth surveillance, subsurface sensing, and extreme sea-state survivability. Docks with ShadowDart as a companion drone.
High-Speed Interceptor
Rapid-response interceptor for threat pursuit and close-range engagement. High-speed sprint capability for time-critical scenarios.
Aerial Reconnaissance
Lightweight quadcopter launched from ShadowDart and ShadowShark for elevated aerial surveillance. Extends line-of-sight detection and provides overhead situational awareness before returning to dock.
Architecture
Integrated layers from operator command to autonomous execution
Browser-based command console providing comprehensive situational awareness. Operators describe missions in plain language — MissionControl translates intent into action, with real-time fleet status, sensor fusion visualisation, and multi-layer mapping.
Converts operational intent into structured mission plans optimised for maritime scenarios. Dynamic task allocation across the fleet, with continuous replanning based on real-time environmental conditions and mission priorities.
AI-centric, vehicle-agnostic control architecture built on ROS 2. Bluea provides autonomous navigation, edge AI object detection, and adaptive control networks that compensate for damage and environmental conditions to keep assets operational.
Shore-based intelligence platform that makes the fleet smarter with every mission. Digital twin simulations train control and perception models through reinforcement learning, while every deployment feeds back into improved detection, classification, and tactics.
