### Revolutionizing Marine Radar Technology
Tocaro Blue specializes in innovative radar processing solutions for marine applications, harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance situational awareness and perception for uncrewed and autonomous surface vessels (USVs/ASVs).
Transformative Radar Solutions for Autonomous Vessels
Our technology upgrades conventional marine radar systems into advanced perception sensors. By addressing the limitations of traditional radar—such as noise interference and slow detection rates—while capitalizing on their range and performance in challenging environments, we equip USVs with enhanced navigation capabilities and situational awareness, leading to superior vessel control.
Utilizing a comprehensive dataset of over two million annotated radar images, our ProteusCore software employs advanced Autofocus machine learning algorithms to automatically optimize radar gain and range. The system continuously enhances detection capabilities based on variables like environmental conditions, sea state, and proximity to land.
The radar’s field of view allows for reliable identification, classification, and tracking of objects, delivering precise context and essential real-time data to USV control systems. This capability substantially outperforms the use of optical sensors alone, and the integration of both technologies ensures improved range, target validation, and safety.
