Tocaro Blue is a leading developer of intelligent radar processing software for enhanced situational awareness at sea. Find out more >>
Designed for integration into marine electronics, the company’s ProteusCore™ platform transforms conventional radar data into real-time insights. It supports manned vessels and autonomous systems alike, improving object detection, classification, and tracking with minimal user input.
Operating across recreational, commercial, and defense marine sectors, Tocaro Blue’s technology enables radar systems to deliver precise, reliable perception even in poor visibility or complex environments.
ProteusCore™
ProteusCore™ is Tocaro Blue’s flagship radar processing software that uses machine learning to interpret raw radar data in real time.
By automatically tuning gain and range settings, filtering noise, and classifying detected objects, it delivers consistent and accurate situational awareness without the need for operator adjustment.
Trained on over 2 million radar frames, the software distinguishes vessels, buoys, wakes, and landmasses, reporting their position, speed, trajectory, and closest point of approach. ProteusCore™ is compatible with existing radar hardware and integrates with multifunction displays, autopilots, and control systems through APIs and C++ libraries.
Key features include:
- AutoFocus™ for adaptive radar tuning
- Object classification using trained ML models
- Clutter filtering using AIS, digital charts, and navigation light data
- Real-time target tracking
- Developer-ready tools and browser-based configuration
Devkit Hardware
For rapid integration and testing, Tocaro Blue provides a rugged edge computing platform pre-installed with ProteusCore™.
The Devkit connects directly to onboard radar and GPS systems, providing immediate access to the full software stack and developer tools.
Designed for harsh marine environments, the unit features a sealed enclosure and passive cooling. It draws power from the NMEA 2000 bus, simplifying installation and cabling. A web-based interface allows developers to configure detection parameters, adjust radar behavior, and manage data outputs from any standard browser.
Proteus Hub™
Built on the ProteusCore™ engine, Proteus Hub™ provides an intuitive radar display for recreational boaters. It replaces traditional 2D radar screens with a 3D visualization that displays classified radar targets in real-world context.
The system translates raw radar returns into recognizable objects, helping users quickly assess collision risks and nearby hazards. Particularly useful in low-visibility or congested waters, Proteus Hub™ enhances safety and awareness for modern connected vessels.
