Turkish AI system targets safer maritime navigation
Turkish defense company Havelsan has developed BLUEVISION, an artificial intelligence-supported maritime situational awareness system designed to improve navigation safety on manned and unmanned platforms.
The system uses computer vision and data fusion technologies to support operators in maritime traffic, offering decision-support and navigation assistance for commercial ships, luxury yachts, uncrewed surface vehicles and military platforms.
Unlike conventional camera-based systems, BLUEVISION combines images from thermal and daylight cameras with Automatic Identification System data to create a broader maritime picture.
The system can detect and locate objects that radar systems may miss or struggle to identify, including small boats, buoys and people in the water.
