Autonomous Navigation

AIVeNautics (AI + Vessel + Nautics) pioneers AI-driven maritime navigation technologies integrating autonomous perception, connectivity, and e-navigation platforms.
Its core innovation, the Maritime Autonomous Navigation Assistance System (MANAS), enhances vessel safety by providing real-time environmental perception and collision avoidance guidance through radar and multi-sensor fusion.
Developed through Team AIVN, a collaboration between AIVN Korea and DMC Denmark, led by international maritime technology experts from EfficienSea2, DMA, and MCP Consortium.
The company’s mission: to deliver safer and greener navigation through connected intelligence.

(1) Owned Technology

CON.AR™ (Connectivity & Attention by Radar):
- AI-enhanced radar and vision sensor fusion technology for situational awareness.
- Early-fusion architecture integrating radar, RGB/Thermal cameras, LiDAR, AIS, and motion sensors for superior object detection and recognition.
- Significantly improves collision avoidance, reducing close encounters by 67% and accidents by 65%.
Ch@tSea™ (Chatting at Sea):
- The world’s first global maritime messaging service built on the Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP).
- Provides real-time vessel-to-vessel and ship-to-shore communication for risk notifications, route sharing, and hazard alerts.
- Operating PoC in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and the USA.
iMARINS™ (Intelligent Maritime Informatics Service):
- AI-based e-navigation service integrating Maritime Safety Information (MSI), Maritime Protected Areas (MPA), and Automatic Route Planning.
- Supports SOLAS Chapter V Regulation 31 compliance for danger message transmission.

(2) Applied Products

CON.AR™ Radar AI Module – enhancing vessel perception and accident prevention.
Ch@tSea™ Platform (App & Server) – providing communication and hazard-sharing across vessels and authorities.
iMARINS™ Service Suite – AI-powered e-navigation for safety, efficiency, and reduced carbon footprint.

(1) Problem Definition / Development Background

Over 5,000 vessel collisions and allisions occur annually in the U.S. alone — primarily due to limited visibility, poor perception, and communication failures.
Conventional radar systems lack integration and contextual awareness, leading to delayed decision-making and inefficient navigation.

(2) Value Proposition / Solution

AIVeNautics addresses maritime safety with an AI perception layer that enables human-level situational awareness.
Early radar-data fusion enhances visibility in fog, rain, or night conditions.
Ch@tSea™ communication protocol allows vessels to automatically exchange risk data, reducing accidents and response time.
Enables greener navigation, cutting fuel consumption by 10–15% and CO₂ emissions by 10% via optimized routing.

Technical Expertise: Founded by global maritime connectivity experts — leaders in MCP Consortium, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC41, and IALA DTEC WG1.
Patent & Standardization Leadership: Contributing to international maritime IoT & Digital Twin standards.
Performance Results:
- Collision reduction: 65%
- Fuel efficiency improvement: 15%
- Carbon emission reduction: 10%
Dual Application: Suitable for commercial vessels, autonomous boats, and defense-grade unmanned surface vehicles (USVs).

Projects & Partnerships:
- Participated in EfficienSea2, SMART-Navigation Project (2019–2020), and MCP Consortium.
- Collaborating with IMO e-Navigation standardization groups and RTCM Standard 13900.0.
- Developing next-generation AI e-Navigation testbeds with European maritime partners.
Commercialization Roadmap:
- 2025: Global pilot for Ch@tSea™ Server
- 2026: Integration with global navigation system manufacturers (ECS/ECDIS vendors).
- 2027: Full-scale rollout of iMARINS™ AI Navigation Services.
