Unmanned vehicle control and operation in a marine environment

This invention describes a marine drone designed to work with a boat's existing electronic systems. The drone uses its own sensors and propulsion to move around the marine environment. Its primary function is to collect Automatic Identification System (AIS) data from other vessels and objects, then relay this information back to the main boat's navigation display to show their locations and update charts.

Why it matters: Filed before current advancements in AI-driven autonomous navigation. Robust marine operation and integration software are now more accessible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMarine drone hardware, software, AIS transceiver, waterproofing.
