Marine AI looks to give uncrewed vessels a voice

By Martin Conway

Marine AI will deploy an Oceanus12 USV in its large language model testing programme.

The autonomy software developer Marine AI has launched a project in the hope of granting uncrewed vessels the ability to “communicate naturally” with other ships, in the manner of a human operator. The project has received the backing of the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), a branch of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) created to fund the development of innovate tech solutions for the British Armed Forces.
