This RFP document outlines the specifications for a Trusted Autonomy Portal (TAP). The portal system shall utilize state-of-the-art technologies, including AI, machine learning, simulation engines, blockchain, existing maritime systems, and models. The system will include both hardware (high-performance laptops/desktops, IoT devices) and software (AI models, simulation tools, data integration systems) components. The scope of the project includes the design, development, testing, and deployment of the TAP. - The system shall be capable of ingesting real-time data from maritime sensors, autonomous vessels, IoT devices, and environmental monitoring systems. - Data shall include but is not limited to vessel position, speed, heading, and telemetry. - Environmental data such as water temperature, wind speed, wave height, and obstacles shall also be available. - The TAP shall provide AI-driven simulations of maritime scenarios. The AI shall also predict vessel behaviors, optimize collision avoidance strategies, and simulate environmental interactions. Integration with Existing Models - Bellhop 2D/3D Models: Simulate sound propagation and underwater acoustic scenarios. - NGOFS2/HYCOM Models: Simulate Gulf of Mexico conditions, including hydrodynamic, current, and wave models. - USM’s Hi-Res Coastal Models: For high-resolution coastal and port simulations.
