Squarehead and Reach Remote begin autonomous-vessel acoustic pilot
Squarehead Technology began an early-adopter pilot of acoustic condition monitoring aboard Reach Remote 1.
Evidence notes
- The installation places Squarehead microphone-array technology in the vessel's engine room.
- The system analyzes sound for machinery anomalies and sends monitoring data to a shore-based remote operations center.
- Reach Remote 1 is an uncrewed surface vessel used for subsea inspection, survey and intervention work.
Company context
Squarehead Technology develops directional microphone arrays, edge processing and machine-learning software for passive acoustic detection. Its systems localise and classify drones, weapons fire, industrial anomalies and maritime sounds without emitting a signal, and can operate as standalone sensors or in networked protection grids. The Oslo company serves defence, critical infrastructure and industrial condition-monitoring applications.
