In the context of maritime security, enhancing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities is essential. Greenroom Robotics' Lookout+ provides significant value by improving operational safety, efficiency, and overall capability in maritime ISR operations.

Lookout+ enhances maritime safety by using passive optical radar to detect and classify targets that traditional radar and AIS systems might miss. This advanced AI vision technology offers comprehensive surveillance, giving operators the assurance to maintain high levels of security and safety at sea. By identifying potential threats that older systems and human lookouts might overlook, Lookout+ significantly improves situational awareness and reduces the risk of unexpected dangers.

Traditional radar and AIS systems often struggle with certain types of targets. Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, for instance, have a low radar cross-section and can evade conventional detection systems. These drones can be used for reconnaissance or other covert activities, making their detection vital for maintaining security. Low-profile surface vessels, such as small boats used by smugglers or pirates, can also evade traditional radars. These vessels can approach undetected, posing threats to both commercial and defence maritime operations.

A key feature of Lookout+ is its ability to optimise asset utilisation and operational efficiency. Automating watchkeeping duties with Lookout+ allows vessels and personnel to cover more ground and monitor larger areas without needing additional resources. This means personnel can focus on more critical tasks, leading to a more effective allocation of resources. This optimisation not only streamlines operations but also results in substantial cost savings, making Lookout+ a valuable asset for maritime operations.

In ISR, reliable and continuous surveillance is crucial. Lookout+ provides round-the-clock monitoring, ensuring consistently high levels of security assurance as a system that never sleeps or blinks. This continuous surveillance is vital for maintaining a vigilant watch over vast maritime areas, enabling rapid detection and response to potential threats.

Lookout+ stands out with its hardware-agnostic design, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with existing sensors and systems. This flexibility means operators can easily incorporate Lookout+ into their current setups, maximising the effectiveness of their existing investments. Additionally, as part of the Greenroom Platform’s modular framework Lookout+ is automatically updated with the latest developments in RASAI, ensuring users always have access to the latest and most effective technologies

Achieving maritime superiority requires more than just advanced technology; it requires a system that enhances existing platforms with AI-powered perception. Lookout+ delivers this by providing capabilities that significantly improve the effectiveness of maritime operations. Whether for naval defence or commercial maritime applications, Lookout+ offers a strategic advantage by enhancing situational awareness and decision-making processes.

One of the most significant benefits of Lookout+ is its ability to shift the workload from human operators to AI, allowing for faster detection with fewer errors. By leveraging AI, Lookout+ provides a reliable system that never tires, ensuring continuous vigilance and superior performance.

Integrating Lookout+ into ISR operations enables maritime organisations to significantly enhance their surveillance capabilities, ensuring a safer and more efficient operational environment.
