About This Project
Overview, mission & core vision
Overview

OceanPatrol is an autonomous unmanned surface vessel powered by solar and diesel hybrid propulsion that patrols coastal waters using radar, sonar and AI cameras โ€” detecting illegal fishing, smuggling vessels and maritime boundary intrusions 24/7 and relaying real-time intelligence to coast guard command centres.

๐Ÿš€
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Problem
India has 7,516km of coastline patrolled by only 156 coast guard vessels โ€” 1 vessel per 48km. Illegal fishing causes Rs.14,000Cr annual loss to Indian fishermen. Kerala alone loses Rs.1,200Cr annually to foreign poaching in its territorial waters
โšก
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Solution
Each OceanPatrol USV autonomously covers 200km of coastline continuously โ€” detecting and classifying all vessels, flagging suspicious behaviour and alerting human coast guard with GPS coordinates and visual evidence
๐Ÿค–
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Market
$3.4B global maritime security market growing at 8.9% CAGR โ€” India's Ministry of Defence has Rs.25,000Cr allocated for coastal surveillance modernisation under Project Sea Guardian
๐ŸŒฟ
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Traction
2 prototype vessels completed 340-hour sea trial off Kochi coast in Arabian Sea โ€” detected 89 fishing vessels, correctly classified 7 as operating in prohibited zones, identified 2 unknown vessels with no AIS transponder
๐ŸŽฏ
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Revenue Model
Rs.4.5 Crore per vessel sale to government/defence contractors + Rs.25 Lakh/year OceanWatch service contract for maintenance, software updates and remote operations support
๐Ÿ”’
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Use of Funds
40% vessel hull and propulsion, 30% sensor and AI systems, 20% government certification and trials, 10% operations centre establishment

Features
Core capabilities & functionalities
6 Features
โœ“
200km Autonomous Patrol Coverage
OceanPatrol follows pre-programmed patrol routes covering 200km of coastline continuously at 12 knots โ€” AI dynamically adjusts route based on weather, suspicious activity location and coast guard command instructions
โœ“
AI Vessel Detection & Classification
Fusion of X-band radar, AIS receiver and 4K PTZ camera enables detection of vessels from 15km โ€” AI classifies vessel type, size, speed and heading, cross-references against AIS database and flags anomalies within 30 seconds
โœ“
Sonar Underwater Object Detection
Forward-looking sonar detects underwater objects, submerged vessels and diver activity within 500m radius โ€” critical for detecting submarine smuggling and unauthorised diving near coastal infrastructure
โœ“
Real-Time Intelligence Streaming
All sensor data, vessel tracks and AI alerts stream in real time to coast guard command centre via encrypted satellite link โ€” commanding officer sees OceanPatrol's complete sensor picture on tactical display from any location
โœ“
Autonomous Intercept & Shadowing
When suspicious vessel detected, OceanPatrol can autonomously close distance and shadow target vessel at safe distance โ€” maintaining visual surveillance and transmitting live 4K video of vessel, crew and any cargo transfer activity
โœ“
Solar-Diesel Hybrid Endurance
4.8kW solar array powers all electronics and sensors continuously โ€” diesel propulsion reserves activated for intercept or adverse weather. Autonomous return to base for refuelling after 7-day patrol without any human intervention

Key Advantages
Why this project stands out
6 Advantages
โš ๏ธ
Predicts Failure 72 Hours Early
Vibration, current and temperature analysis detects developing faults in motors, cables, brakes and doors 72 hours before breakdown โ€” maintenance team replaces failing component during scheduled downtime instead of responding to a breakdown with passengers trapped
๐Ÿ›—
Zero Passenger Entrapment
Pilot buildings using LiftLog reported zero passenger entrapment incidents over 18 months versus industry average of 2.3 entrapments per lift per year โ€” most impactful safety metric for residential society facility managers and liability insurers
๐Ÿ“Š
Compliance Certificates Auto-Generated
LiftLog generates IS 14665 statutory inspection data automatically โ€” maintenance records, safety check logs and performance metrics formatted for lift inspector submission, reducing compliance documentation effort from 4 hours to 4 minutes per inspection
๐Ÿ”ง
Clamps On Without Stopping Lift
All LiftLog sensors install on existing cable, motor and door mechanism externally โ€” no lift shutdown required for installation. Full sensor suite fitted and live within 4 hours of installation team arrival with residents using the lift throughout
๐Ÿ’ฐ
Reduces Maintenance Cost by 45%
Predictive maintenance replaces scheduled maintenance โ€” parts replaced only when wear is detected, not on calendar schedule. Pilot buildings reduced annual lift maintenance expenditure by 45% while improving reliability and safety simultaneously
๐Ÿข
Multi-Lift Building Dashboard
Building manager app shows health status of all lifts simultaneously โ€” colour-coded risk dashboard, upcoming maintenance schedule, energy consumption per lift and month-on-month reliability trend for AMC renewal negotiations
๐Ÿ—บ
How It Works
Step-by-step process & workflow
6 Steps
01
Coastal Zone Planning
OceanPatrol team works with coast guard command to map patrol zones, define threat priorities, set vessel classification rules and establish communication protocols with existing command and control systems
02
Vessel Delivery & Commissioning
OceanPatrol USV delivered to naval or coast guard base โ€” sea trials conducted over 5 days covering all sensor systems, autonomous navigation, intercept manoeuvres and communication links with command centre
03
Command Centre Integration
OceanPatrol tactical display software integrated into existing coast guard operations centre โ€” operators trained on vessel control, alert management and requesting autonomous intercept or manual takeover
04
Initial Supervised Patrol
First 30 days operated in supervised mode with coast guard observer monitoring all AI decisions โ€” builds operator trust in autonomous classification and validates patrol route coverage for assigned zone
05
Autonomous Operations
After validation period, vessel operates fully autonomously on assigned patrol route โ€” command centre monitors dashboard and responds to AI-generated alerts. Human takeover available instantly via joystick controller
06
Ongoing OceanWatch Service
Annual maintenance visit including hull inspection, sensor calibration and AI model update. Monthly software updates deliver improved vessel classification models trained on new intelligence data

Technology
Tech stack & innovation
6 Technologies
๐Ÿ“ก
X-Band Maritime Radar
Solid-state X-band radar with 15km detection range scans full 360ยฐ every 2.5 seconds โ€” detects vessels as small as 2m fibreglass dinghies in sea state 4 conditions. Dual-polarisation separates vessels from wave clutter
๐Ÿค–
MarineAI Vessel Classification Engine
Custom CNN model trained on 500,000 maritime vessel images from AIS-correlated radar tracks โ€” classifies vessel type, estimated size and behaviour pattern with 91% accuracy in real conditions including night and adverse weather
๐Ÿ“ท
4K PTZ Optical + Thermal Camera
Long-range PTZ camera with 30x optical zoom and thermal FLIR sensor identifies vessel registration numbers from 3km at day, crew activity from 1.5km at night โ€” all footage archived with GPS timestamp for evidence
๐Ÿ”Š
Forward-Looking Sonar System
500kHz DIDSON acoustic camera provides 500m range underwater imaging โ€” detects divers, submerged objects and small submarines. Integrated with surface radar for complete above and below waterline picture
โšก
Solar-Diesel Hybrid Propulsion
4.8kW flexible solar laminate on deck powers all sensors and electronics continuously โ€” twin 25HP outboard motors for propulsion run on diesel only during transit and intercept, extending patrol endurance to 7 days per tank
๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ
Iridium Satellite + 4G LTE Command Link
Primary 4G LTE coastal data link backed by Iridium satellite โ€” ensures continuous encrypted command link and intelligence streaming even 200km offshore. AES-256 encrypted, frequency-hopping resistant to jamming
