Capabilities

Navigation

AYB combines AIS, radar, LiDAR and EO/IR cameras for full situational awareness.These sensors detect obstacles and nearby vessels, ensuring safe and autonomous navigation even in poor visibility.
Navigation and safety sensors

Payload

Integrates single- and multibeam sonar, PTZ cameras and inspection tools for above- and below-water missions. Live data enables survey, monitoring or automatic responses to detected objects.
Payload and mission sensors

Mapping

Displays live data through map overlays with OpenSeaMap, ENC S-57 orS-100 charts and custom geofencing zones.Gives a clear, real-time view of vessel position, detections and mission boundaries.
Mapping and mission context

Third Party

Connects external data like AIS feeds, weather or traffic systems through the dotOcean Cloud. Expands mission intelligence and awareness across connected platforms.

Cloud integration

Multiple sensors, one clear view dotOcean Cloud combines all data streams into a single, real-time picture.

Collect

Data from all sensors is captured and processed directly onboard for real-time autonomy even without cloud connection.

Monitor

Mission data is sent to the dotOcean Cloud for live visuals from the maritime situational picture.

The dotOcean Cloud enables remote BVLOS operation of AYB-enabled USVs with adaptive live video streaming, ensuring continuous visuals even over low bandwidth communication channels. It highlights detected objects using augmented reality and streams onboard camera, radar and LIDAR data. A situational awareness screen integrates AIS targets, radar objects and raw radar overlays on nautical charts. Additional features include remote vessel health monitoring, historical data access and fleet management.

Benefits

1

Automated Mission Planning

Quickly generate optimized mission plans with automated route generation and obstacle avoidance, reducing preparation time and operational complexity.

2

Safer Autonomous Navigation

Intelligent decision-making predicts vessel and obstacle movements in real time, enabling safe and efficient navigation even in complex environments.

3
Enhanced Situational Awareness

Multi-sensor data fusion combines radar, AIS, cameras, and environmental data to give operators a complete and reliable view of the maritime environment.

4
Flexible Human Supervision

Operators can seamlessly switch between manual control and remote supervision through intuitive interfaces, ensuring full oversight of autonomous missions.

5

Coordinated Multi-Vessel Operations

Manage and supervise multiple USVs simultaneously, enabling scalable operations and higher mission efficiency.

integration

Easy integration with Navaq & Ginsy

Our AYB app is the ultimate tool for remotely operating and monitoring our autonomous vessels. With a user-friendly interface, the app allows you to control the boats’ movements in real time, adjust their routes and oversee their operations online from anywhere.

Beyond control, the AYB app collects and visualizes essential data, including navigation metrics, environmental conditions and operational performance.  
Whether you're managing a fleet or monitoring a single vessel, the AYB app combines convenience, precision and actionable insights to enhance maritime operations.

The AYB app can either be installed on an Android tablet or can be run as a web app on a laptop connected to the internet (or a local cloud).
