Charles River Analytics’ Awarion® is an AI-powered autonomous lookout system designed to elevate marine situational awareness.
Utilizing cutting-edge electro-optical and infrared video technology, Awarion detects, analyzes, and reports on the presence of ships, whales, fishing buoys, sailboats, and other maritime objects.
This critical capability supports safety, navigation, and environmental protection across a range of applications.
Key Features
- Autonomous Decision-Making: Awarion® identifies, prioritizes, and maps objects in real time, enabling operators to monitor activity from the bridge or a remote location.
