Mythos AI launches autonomous system for unmanned surface vessels

Mythos AI reports that it has launched MNAV, a new autonomy system developed for unmanned surface vessels and engineered for high-speed and long-range deployment.

The company says that the system has been tested across major waterways and has now been deployed on customer vessels.

MNAV recently completed 885km of fully autonomous blue-water navigation at sustained speeds of 15–25 knots, and is being prepared for vessels between 5m and 60m. The company says its autonomy stack has logged more than 20,000km in full autonomy in congested waters and executed more than 15,000 COLREGS-compliant interactions.

The system includes multi-vessel target tracking, a dynamic behaviour planner and the MVIZ command-and-control console for managing multi-vessel fleets. It has been designed to integrate with modern and legacy equipment and adapt to vessel-specific dynamics.

“Our system has matured through thousands of real world miles in North America’s busiest waterways, and it has now demonstrated reliable high speed autonomy in blue water conditions,” said Geoff Douglass, CEO of Mythos AI.

“This marks a major advancement for the unmanned maritime sector. It establishes the first true dock to mission to dock capability, which removes a critical bottleneck that has limited scale for operators.”
