Radar sees a contact. AIS shows a name, provided the vessel chooses to broadcast one. When a threat USV does neither, optical AI is the only sensor layer that still sees it. That is the gap SEA.AI was built to close.
SEA.AI is growing in North America, new team, better support, wider availability. We’re strengthening our presence across North America with new talent, expanded support, and broader access to our safety systems.
Detection tells you what is on the water. Multi-Object Tracking tells you what each contact is, where it came from, and where it is going — for every object in the scene, simultaneously. That is the difference between a snapshot and operational intelligence.
