A crowd-sourced, sensorised-vessel ocean observation network

QUARTERMASTER AI INCA5 · direct accessManage supplier listing

A crowd-sourced, sensorised-vessel ocean observation network: camera plus software-defined-radio telemetry mounted on civilian and commercial vessel masts, producing open-ocean video and radio-frequency observations where satellites and shore AIS receivers have blind spots. Concretely: geotagged 360° HD day/night video of vessel encounters, independently-received AIS/ADS-B/VHF/radar signals with source localisation (i.e. an opportunity to check a vessel's broadcast against what was actually observed), onboard AI detections and activity classifications, all time-synchronised and streamed at sub-5-second latency across 650+ vessels in 25 countries.

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal — HD day/night video streams and frames (360°, 31x zoom), RF/radio captures (AIS, ADS-B, VHF, radar) with bearing/localisation, onboard AI detection records, all timestamped; delivered as near-real-time feeds plus retained evidence-grade records
Volume: Very large: 650+ continuously sensing masts each streaming HD video plus radio captures at sub-5-second latency. Even at conservative duty-cycling this is petabytes-per-year class raw video; retained event-level records (AI detections and verified incidents) are the tractable subset. Exact retention window and duty cycle not disclosed — request further research on stored-hours vs streaming-only.
Users: N/A in consumer terms — participation is vessel-based: 650+ vessels enrolled in 25 countries (800+ units shipped), per the Series B coverage
History: 3 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — high-growth. $140M raised ($100M Series B led by Insight Partners plus $40M debt), with use of funds explicitly to accelerate engineering hiring and add vessels in busy fishing grounds and shipping lanes. Publicly tracked deployment target is 5,000 vessels by year-end against 650+ today, and an open careers channel is live.
Launched: est. 2023-2024 — bounded by the Series B timeline (a 650-vessel installed base and 800+ units shipped precedes a B round) and a corporate copyright of 2026 on the current site; no explicit founding or launch date is published
