From Test Vessel to Remote Operations: SafeNav Steps Into the Future of Smarter Navigation

A big thank you to Turku University of Applied Sciences - Jarkko Paavola and his team for facilitating the start of SafeNav’s onboard testing from their test vessel eM/S Salama and their Remote Operation Control Center (ROC).

This will mark a significant milestone for SafeNav:
* Real-world onboard testing
* Live system integration
* Operational validation of the SafeNav Co-Pilot (COLREG module for collision and grounding avoidance)

Not only are we testing onboard, but we will also be running trials from shore via the remote operation center, this opens the way for SafeNav’s deployment on:
- Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs)
- Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs)
- Maritime sea drones
- Dual-use applications to assist with collision and grounding avoidance for surveillance and mission planning.

This is an exciting step forward in making maritime navigation smarter, safer, and more versatile. Stay tuned for more exiting updates.
