Technology Overview

Sentinel-ASV is designed as a modular autonomous surface vessel optimized for monitoring missions. The system integrates propulsion, onboard computing, communications, and sensor payloads into a single unmanned platform.

The architecture prioritizes reliability, safety, and ease of integration over experimental or high-risk technologies.

Sentinel-ASV uses onboard software to navigate predefined maritime areas, maintain patrol routes, and avoid obstacles. A human operator remains in the loop, monitoring system status and sensor data and retaining the ability to intervene if required.

This approach balances autonomy with operational safety and regulatory considerations.

The vessel is equipped with a dual sensor suite consisting of visual and thermal cameras. This allows for continuous monitoring in daylight, darkness, and low-visibility conditions.

Sensor data is streamed in real time to a remote operator for review and assessment.

WaveShift's technology is designed to minimize operating costs while enabling future expansion. The system emphasizes modularity, allowing payloads and capabilities to evolve over time without redesigning the entire platform.
