HAVELSAN BLUEVISION – AI-Powered Maritime Situational Awareness Platform

HAVELSAN unveiled BLUEVISION – safeAlways at IDEF 2025, positioning it as a next-generation AI-driven maritime situational awareness platform. The system is engineered to transform maritime safety, navigation, and operational intelligence across civilian and defense domains. Its core capabilities include real-time object detection, classification, tracking, and decision support; powered by artificial intelligence and enhanced visualization.

What is BLUEVISION?

BLUEVISION is an advanced, integrated software-hardware platform designed to deliver complete maritime domain awareness. It fuses real-time image processing, AI-based analytics, and augmented reality to identify and track all nearby maritime elements, ranging from people and small boats to large vessels.

Its core functions include:

AI-enhanced object detection and classification
Geolocation and real-time tracking
Augmented reality overlays for user interfaces
Data fusion from multiple sensor types (visible + thermal)
Seamless integration with vessel systems and sensors

Key Capabilities

1. Object Detection & Classification

Detect humans in water
Identify small inflatable boats, fishing vessels, yachts, tankers, and cargo ships
Track moving and stationary maritime objects
Provide threat-level estimation and collision risk alerts

2. All-Weather, 24/7 Performance

The platform is built for continuous maritime operations:

Operates effectively in low visibility, stormy seas, and nighttime
Switchable modes: visible spectrum, thermal imaging, and digital map overlays
Adapts detection behavior based on environmental changes
AI models continue to evolve through automatic software updates
