Technology that sees what radar and AIS cannot
SEA.AI was co-founded in Brittany in 2018. It develops AI-powered machine vision systems for safety, security, and surveillance at sea. Where radar and AIS reach their limits, whether facing a tender with no transponder, a waterlogged wreck, a swimmer or a whale, SEA.AI systems see. A fundamentally different capability, complementary to existing technologies, set to become a new standard in maritime domain awareness.
With more than 1,200 systems deployed worldwide, applications span collision prevention, coastal surveillance, maritime security, counter-piracy, search and rescue support, and cetacean detection.
Dual-use applications, civil and defense, at the heart of today’s operational and maritime sovereignty challenges.
A strategic foothold in the French naval industry
GICAN, the French Naval Industry Association, brings together more than 320 industrial players and organizations across the French maritime sector: shipyards, system integrators, equipment manufacturers, naval architects, and defense stakeholders.
Joining this network means participating in the working groups that shape tomorrow’s standards, contributing to regulatory debates on autonomous systems and new embedded technologies, and building partnerships within the naval industry.
For SEA.AI, whose technology serves the global maritime world, the French market remains a strategic priority. France has a world-class naval defense industry, an exceptional coastline, and the right industrial players to collaborate with.
What you should know about SEA.AI and GICAN
What is GICAN and why did SEA.AI join?
GICAN is the French Naval Industry Association, bringing together 320+ industrial players across shipyards, system integrators, equipment manufacturers, and defence stakeholders.
SEA.AI joined to strengthen its foothold in the French naval ecosystem, participate in working groups on autonomous systems and embedded technologies, and build partnerships within the European maritime defence industry.
What does SEA.AI's machine vision technology do that radar and AIS cannot?
SEA.AI’s AI-powered machine vision detects objects that radar and AIS miss — including vessels without transponders, waterlogged wrecks, swimmers, and whales.
With 1,200+ systems deployed worldwide, it covers collision prevention, coastal surveillance, maritime security, counter-piracy, search and rescue, and cetacean detection.
Why is France a strategic market for SEA.AI?
France combines a world-class naval defence industry, an exceptional coastline, and key industrial partners.
As a Brittany-born company, SEA.AI sees GICAN membership as central to affirming its place in European maritime technological sovereignty.
