Summary

About

About MarineAI

MarineAI develops modular autonomy software for crewed, remotely operated and uncrewed vessels. GuardianAI fuses radar, sonar, cameras, AIS and other ship sensors into situational awareness, then applies COLREG-aware route planning, collision avoidance, mission logic and vessel or payload control.

Operators can adopt individual modules or a fuller stack spanning mission management, tactical routing, fleet coordination and secure communications. The system keeps humans in supervisory roles while supporting adaptive execution across surface and subsurface platforms. Deployments and integrations include survey USVs, litter-collection craft and UK or US defence demonstrators for surveillance, mine countermeasures, subsea sensing and long-duration autonomous operations.

Timeline

Events

  • 2026-08-25 - Demonstration - Oceanus12 autonomously deploys two C-Star surface drones

    The UK Defence Innovation-backed programme is led by ZeroUSV with Oshen and MarineAI. MarineAI’s GuardianAI autonomy suite coordinated Oceanus12 and the C-Star vehicles with minimal operator input. The two C-Stars were configured for acoustic-data collection; the next planned phase would deploy four vehicles simultaneously.

  • 2026-05-19 - Partnership - MarineAI integrates Videosoft streaming into GuardianAI

    The integration supports onboard, remote-operations-center and post-processing video workflows where offshore bandwidth is limited or expensive. GuardianAI Inspect combines the video feeds with computer-vision detection workflows and multi-channel communications, including satellite links. MarineAI demonstrated the integration at Oceanology International using an Oceanus 12 vessel feed from Plymouth Sound alongside a live drone feed.

  • 2025-05-22 - Partnership - Hefring Marine and MarineAI integrate IMAS with GuardianAI

    IMAS adds real-time sea-condition insight, operational optimization and safety guidance to the GuardianAI autonomy stack. GuardianAI supports IMO Level 4+ autonomy with situational awareness, tactical route planning and vessel control. The partners planned to make IMAS an OEM-supported GuardianAI module and continue joint product development.
