Technology

Surface, subsea and signal.

Keel's technology surface is framed as candidate capability areas, not as specifications for an existing certified product.

Candidate capability areas

No fake specs. No implied certification. The point is to make the architecture and evidence requirements legible.

01

Autonomous surface vehicles

Candidate surface nodes for survey, sensing, communications relay and taskable maritime presence.

02

Subsea robotics

Candidate AUV, ROV and sensor-node roles for inspection, survey and underwater context.

03

Sensor payloads

Optical, acoustic, environmental, navigation and communications payload categories, selected by mission need.

04

Mission planning

Planning and tasking concepts for routes, permissions, operating envelopes, exception handling and review.

05

Telemetry and reporting

Status, mission health, evidence capture, timestamps, location confidence and reporting workflows.

06

Ocean data fusion

Workflows for combining vehicle, sensor, satellite, AIS, map and operator context.

07

Human-in-the-loop operation

Human review for judgement, safety, escalation and action.

08

Safety and compliance

The required layer before any operational claim: procedures, approvals, validation and accountability.

Operating picture

Vehicles are only one layer.

The hard system is vehicles, sensors, tasking, telemetry, data fusion, provenance and human approval working together.
