Connecting Underwater Vehicles Into Intelligent Networks
OUR SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
Precision. Intelligence. Efficiency.
Our system provides the technical foundation for distributed underwater sensing. At its core is ConstelX, a fleet intelligence operating system designed to connect autonomous vehicles into cooperative subsea sensing networks.
ConstelX is hardware-agnostic, allowing it to integrate with autonomous underwater vehicles from different manufacturers and operate across mixed fleets.
This approach enables operators to deploy intelligent sensing networks using existing vehicles rather than relying on a single vertically integrated platform.
OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)
ConstelX acts as the coordination layer for constellations of underwater vehicles.
The platform runs directly on vehicle onboard computers, allowing each vehicle to operate as a node within a distributed sensing network.
ConstelX manages communication, data sharing, and cooperative sensing behaviour across the fleet, enabling vehicles to detect, verify, and track subsea activity collectively.
The architecture is designed specifically for the constraints of underwater communication, enabling coordination even over low-bandwidth acoustic links.
OPERATIONAL APPLICATIONS (OPS)
ConstelX supports modular operational applications that run on top of the core platform.
These applications enable mission-specific capabilities such as:
• subsea infrastructure monitoring
• maritime security and surveillance
• environmental monitoring
• offshore energy asset inspection
This modular architecture allows operators and partners to develop new capabilities without modifying the core platform.
CONSTELX OPERATING SYSTEM
Enabling Autonomy with Advanced Sensing
Our technology is built on expertise in:
• autonomous robotics
• underwater acoustic sensing
• distributed systems engineering
Together, these disciplines enable the development of cooperative sensing architectures capable of operating reliably in complex subsea environments.
Novel Sensing Architecture
We are developing proprietary sensing architectures for cooperative underwater detection and imaging.
Our patent-pending systems describe methods for coordinating multiple underwater vehicles to perform distributed sensing tasks.
By combining observations across multiple vehicles, these architectures improve detection confidence, verify anomalies, and enable spatial understanding across large subsea areas.
These innovations form the foundation of the ConstelX platform.
Hardware Systems
We initially developed experimental underwater robotic systems to validate our sensing concepts in real-world environments.
These prototype platforms were used to test sensing methods, communication architectures, and cooperative detection techniques.
Insights gained from these experiments now inform the development of the ConstelX platform, which focuses on enabling distributed autonomy across fleets of underwater vehicles.
