At IDEF 2025, HAVELSAN officially unveiled BLUEVISION – safeAlways, its cutting-edge AI-powered maritime situational awareness platform. Designed to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and real-time decision-making at sea, BLUEVISION represents a major leap forward in maritime defense and civilian navigation technology.
What is BLUEVISION?
BLUEVISION is an integrated maritime awareness solution that leverages real-time image processing and artificial intelligence to detect, classify, geolocate, and track surrounding objects. Its intuitive interface—enhanced with augmented reality—provides operators with clear, actionable information to improve response time and safety in high-stakes maritime environments.
Advanced Detection for Complex Maritime Scenarios
Using a robust object recognition engine, BLUEVISION can identify everything from humans in the water to small inflatable boats, yachts, fishing vessels, and large cargo ships. This capability is vital for security operations, search and rescue (SAR) missions, and asymmetric threat detection.
All-Weather, All-Hours Reliability
Optimized for 24/7 performance, BLUEVISION functions seamlessly in all weather and lighting conditions. It supports multiple visual modes—including visible, thermal, and map overlays—ensuring reliable operation in the most challenging maritime environments. Real-time data is archived and continuously enhanced through software updates, expanding its detection capabilities over time.
Tailored Variants for Every Mission Profile
HAVELSAN has developed multiple BLUEVISION product lines to serve diverse maritime needs:
-
Large Vessel Series: For tankers, cargo ships, and container vessels—enabling collision avoidance and continuous navigation support.
-
Yacht Series: Designed for luxury and compact yachts with enhanced anchoring safety and obstacle detection.
-
Government & Defense Series: Tailored for naval operations, it supports tactical positioning, EO/IR sensor integration, and coastal surveillance.
-
USV Series: Provides autonomous navigation, route planning, and SAR capabilities for unmanned surface vessels.
Flexible Hardware Architecture
The system includes modular camera options—such as dual-lens visible and thermal sensors—and a powerful AI processing unit (BLUEVISION AI BOX), complemented by a user interface monitor, data storage, UPS system, and optional GPS integration. All components are housed in rugged enclosures, ensuring resilience in harsh marine environments.
Proven in Real-World Use
Already tested in various operational scenarios—from harbor navigation to SAR missions—BLUEVISION has demonstrated its effectiveness in live maritime conditions. It is being adopted in strategic roles, particularly in coastal monitoring and threat detection missions.
A New Era of Maritime Intelligence
The unveiling of BLUEVISION at IDEF 2025 marks a significant milestone in HAVELSAN’s journey toward intelligent maritime systems. By delivering adaptable, vessel-specific capabilities, BLUEVISION is set to shape the future of maritime operations—making them safer, smarter, and more responsive.
