Satellite AI Navigation
An advanced sensor and AI suite that lets the ECOMAR USV operate autonomously across hundreds of kilometers of open ocean.
Real-time situational awareness through Starlink Maritime and a multi-sensor array — anywhere in Madeira's offshore zones.
Autonomy that Doesn't Compromise on Safety
Autonomous navigation in the Madeira archipelago is not a trivial problem. Steep volcanic underwater slopes, unpredictable currents, commercial shipping lanes and dense marine life all create a complex operational environment. ECOMAR addresses this with a multi-layered stack: scientific-grade ocean sensors, redundant positioning systems, AI-powered route optimization, and a permanent Starlink Maritime uplink that keeps the shore station in the loop at every moment.
