b'MEMBER NEWSMEMBER NEWS Sea Machines and U.S. Coast Guard PartnershipB oston-basedSeaMachinesRobotics Inc., a member of PVA, has installed its new AI-ris computer vision product onboarda270-footU.S.CoastGuardFa-mous-class Medium Endurance Cutter ahead of an upcoming deployment.AI-ris uses artificial intelligence to identify and track visual targets of interest. Installation on the cutter was made possible under an ongo-ing Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Sea Machines Robotics and the Coast Guard Research and Development Center in an effort to evaluate how computer vision systems can be utilized forautonomousnavigation,collisionavoid-ance, and target detection. The deployment of AI-ris provides the Coast Guard a new tool for maritime domain awareness and allows Sea Machines to refine its computer vision tech-nology with feedback from the Coast Guard acrossarangeofenvironmentalconditions and operational scenarios.The collaboration between Sea Machines and the U.S. Coast Guard began in 2020 following the Coast Guard Research and Development Photo courtesy of Hy-Line Cruises CenterselectingtheSeaMachinesSM300 remote command and autonomy product for its 29-foot research vessel.TheclosecollaborationbetweenSeaMa-chines and the U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center extends deeply into their mission-oriented service, said Sea Machines CEO Michael G. Johnson. The Coast Guard is a branch of the armed forces, a law enforce-ment agency, a regulator, a member of the U.S. PHOTOS COURTESY OF U.S. COAST GUARDIntelligence community, and a first responder.
