Wave of the future: How DASA-backed AI innovation is revolutionising maritime rescue
This article will discuss how DASA-backed AI innovation is revolutionising maritime rescue.
Introduction
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is a UK government agency that invests in and supports the development of innovative technologies for defence and security. One of the areas that DASA is particularly interested in is the use of AI to improve maritime rescue operations.
The challenges of maritime rescue
Maritime rescue is a complex and challenging task. The vastness of the ocean, the unpredictable nature of the weather, and the difficulty of locating and rescuing people in distress all pose significant challenges.
AI to the rescue
AI has the potential to revolutionise maritime rescue by automating many of the tasks that are currently carried out by humans. AI systems can be used to:
- Detect and track vessels in distress
- Identify people in the water
- Predict the movement of drift objects
- Communicate with survivors
- Guide rescue vessels to the scene
DASA-backed AI innovation
DASA is supporting a number of AI-powered projects that are developing new and innovative ways to improve maritime rescue.
AISense
AISense is a project that is developing an AI-powered system to detect and track vessels in distress. The system uses a combination of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and satellite imagery to identify vessels that are behaving abnormally, such as drifting or sinking.
IMARES
IMARES is a project that is developing an AI-powered system to identify people in the water. The system uses a combination of computer vision and deep learning to detect and classify objects in the water, such as people, life jackets, and debris.
Drift
Drift is a project that is developing an AI-powered system to predict the movement of drift objects. The system uses a combination of oceanographic data and machine learning to predict the path of objects that are drifting in the water, such as lifeboats and debris.
These projects have the potential to significantly improve the safety of maritime operations.
Conclusion
AI has the potential to revolutionise maritime rescue by automating many of the tasks that are currently carried out by humans. DASA is supporting a number of AI-powered projects that are developing new and innovative ways to improve maritime rescue. These projects have the potential to significantly improve the safety of maritime operations.
