Quartermaster

Quartermaster transforms civilian and commercial vessels into a persistent maritime sensing layer, creating a distributed network for real-time maritime domain awareness. It addresses the critical challenge of limited visibility across the world's oceans by deploying vessel-mounted HD video, geolocation, and advanced AI. The core of the system is the SmartMast™, which installs on vessels to provide advanced visual and signal monitoring capabilities. This technology captures high-definition video and imagery day and night, monitors various radio signals like AIS and VHF communications, and processes data onboard using AI to identify vessels and unusual activities. The system ensures low-latency communication, delivering insights globally in under 5 seconds, enabling rapid decision-making for coast guards, navies, insurers, and researchers. Quartermaster aims to connect every vessel to build a comprehensive, real-time picture of ocean activity, providing critical data insights for safety, security, and environmental oversight. It extends maritime visibility beyond individual fleets, offering global coverage and verified intelligence with timestamped and authenticated records.
