Jeanerette, La. -based boat builder Metal Shark and Pensacola, Fla.-headquartered Tocaro Blue, a specialist if AI-powered marine sensor processing solutions, have entered a strategic collaboration to embed Tocaro Blue’s ProteusCore radar processing software into Metal Shark’s fleet of high speed maneuverable unmanned surface vessels (HSMUSVs).
ProteusCore provides operators with advanced radar data fusion, machine learning based object detection and classification, and real-time target tracking, improving ISR [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaisance] and operational safety in maritime environments. The software will be integrated directly into Metal Shark’s SharkTech autonomous technology stack, with the new sensing capabilities available across the HSMUSV fleet.
The Metal Shark HSMUSV is a 21-foot unmanned military craft designed to offer the U.S. Armed Forces and allies a low-cost multi-payload USV solution that can be rapidly produced and quickly fielded to meet emergent needs. HSMUSV comes factory-equipped with Metal Shark’s proprietary SharkTech autonomous technology stack, a hardware and software-agnostic system enabling unmanned, human-in-the-loop operation and supporting interface with other COLREGS, ATR, and AI software packages…
