Smart Marine Radar Processing for USVs & ASVs

Tocaro Blue is a developer of smart marine radar processing solutions that leverage the power of AI and machine learning to provide advanced perception and situational awareness capabilities for uncrewed and autonomous surface vessels (USVs/ASVs).

As a continued partner, UST is highlighting the company’s unique solutions via the Tocaro Blue supplier profile. The company’s hardware and software products overcome the weaknesses of standard radar technology such as noise and detection speed while taking advantage of the range and high performance under harsh conditions, empowering USVs with new levels of navigation and situational awareness.

ProteusCore is a powerful software package that utilizes proprietary machine learning models to provide USVs with rapid and reliable detection, classification and tracking of hundreds of marine radar targets simultaneously. Integrating seamlessly with COTS radar products, it allows you to create next-generation perception systems that operate without the need for manual intervention or human interpretation.

Trained on a vast dataset of over two million labeled radar images, ProteusCore utilizes sophisticated Autofocus machine learning algorithms to automatically tune radar gain and adjust the range. The system continually optimizes detection performance based on factors such as environmental conditions, sea state, and proximity to land.

The versatile software requires only CPU processing, making it more cost-effective than other solutions that require more advanced and expensive computing systems. ProteusCore is designed to be embedded in your existing tech stack as an executable application, and Tocaro Blue will compile an executable for your OS and hardware ecosystem for deployment.

ProteusCore can be run on your existing hardware or specialized devices provided by Tocaro Blue, and is compatible with a variety of radars from industry-leading manufacturers such as Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad and Furuno.

Tocaro Blue offers a full-featured marine-grade edge computing solution that provides instant access to the complete ProteusCore API without any additional development effort, allowing you to validate the capabilities of the software under real-world conditions. The rugged device is designed for reliable operation in harsh environments and can be powered via the NMEA 2000 bus for easy integration.

The unit offers 1 Gbit Ethernet and USB connectivity for integration of additional peripherals, and also supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. A built-in HTML5 interface allows you to connect via any browser for remote configuration and monitoring.
