The premise is simple: the ocean is critical infrastructure, but it remains difficult to observe, inspect and understand at operational cadence.
Keel studies the systems required for persistent ocean presence: autonomous vehicles, sensors, mission software, maritime data, human approval and intelligence workflows.
The first version is research-first. No fake fleet. No fake contracts. No fake operational claims.
Why the name
A keel is the unseen structure that gives a vessel direction, balance and stability. That makes it a useful metaphor for ocean autonomy, maritime intelligence and hidden infrastructure.
