Intelligent Systems for Assisting the Maneuvering of Marine, Land, and Other Transport Vehicles in Low or Zero Visibility Conditions

Intelligent Systems for Assisting the Maneuvering of Marine, Land, and Other Transport Vehicles in Low or Zero Visibility Conditions

The company specializes in the supply, development, training, consulting, and implementation of systems for safe management and navigation in complex weather or other conditions involving low or zero visibility. Our core activity is the integration of drones, ground stations, sensor technologies, software, and artificial intelligence with the goal of:
• Increasing safety during the operation of transport vehicles and machinery, including in maritime, land, and air transport;
• Enhancing real-time visibility in critical conditions and assisting vessels in entering port areas and performing safe maneuvers, reaching their final destination while delivering visual, telemetry, and other technical data to all services and units involved in the maneuver;
• Automating and simplifying the tasks of captains, pilots, air traffic controllers, operators, and drivers of nearly all types of vehicles and machinery.

Our team includes experts in:
• Aviation and maritime transport connectivity;
• Real-time spatial and thermal analysis software;
• Remote control systems for multiple command centers, regardless of their global location, with the ability to analyze infrared and thermographic imagery within seconds for decision-making in complex weather and other conditions;
• Industrial drones with top-tier technology and integrated communication networks.

What We Offer

Blind Maneuvering Systems – Maneuvering in Zero Visibility

Integrated navigation and visual systems based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – drones, designed for:
• Marine vessels – ships, tankers, container ships, bulk carriers, tugs, ferries, yachts, fishing boats, and everything related to maritime transport;
• Heavy construction machinery – excavators, cranes, bulldozers;
• Vehicles operating in tunnels, shafts, and industrial zones;
• Aviation transport;
• Railway transport and infrastructure;
• Analysis of coastal areas, ports, adjacent infrastructure, forest massifs, and more.

Key Features:

Real-time Thermal Imaging – Cameras with infrared and thermal spectral sensitivity, detecting heat sources (humans, machines, animals, surface temperature), as well as the contours of vehicles and their environment. This professional analysis allows visibility in complete darkness, dense fog, smoke, or dust. The system shows the vehicle’s dimensions, obstacles ahead, and its destination;
Integration with LiDAR and GPS/RTK – Enables spatial orientation and positioning with accuracy up to 2 mm, and under restricted environments (e.g., port or tunnel), accuracy reaches under 1 mm using additional UWB beacons;
Real-time 3D Mapping – Built using data from drones, sensors, and stationary cameras;
Automatic Alarms and Visual Indicators – Operators receive alerts when approaching objects, people, edges, cables, and other obstacles.

System Components

Drones with Thermal Vision, LiDAR, Ultra-High Resolution Visual Cameras with Optical Zoom

• Enterprise-type industrial models capable of 24/7 operation and remote control without requiring nearby operator intervention;
• Stream thermographic and RGB video to the ground station;
• Used for ship maneuvers in fog, darkness, and low-visibility zones;
• Powered by backup batteries, with optical positioning when GPS is unavailable.

Ground Stations and Command Modules

• Portable or stationary control centers, deployable globally and capable of remote participant access to the operation;
• Equipped with monitors, receivers, antenna modules, and software, controlled by humans, AI, or both;
• Compatible with Starlink, Thuraya, LTE/5G for real-time data transmission when remote control systems are unavailable.

Trained Operators and Support

• Our team provides remote or local system operation;
• Personnel training for drone, ground station, and software operation;
• 24/7 remote support, diagnostics, and software updates.

Additional Equipment and Sensors

• LiDAR for high-precision distance measurement;
• Ultrasonic sensors for indoor operation;
• RTK GNSS for corrected GPS precision;
• Designed for operation in dusty, rainy, foggy, or marine-corrosive environments.
