What It Delivers
One deployment.
Twelve capabilities.
Every Horizon node ships with all twelve active from day one. The buyer who procures for one gets the other eleven at no additional cost.
01
Navigation safety
AIS relay, electronic aids to navigation, collision warning, automated notice-to-mariners. COLREGS-compliant from the light to the telemetry.
02
Ocean & atmospheric observing
Met-ocean, water quality, marine mammal acoustics, weather, air quality — continuous, edge-processed, served in ERDDAP and QARTOD.
03
Edge inference
Marine mammal classification, vessel behavior, HAB onset, tsunami precursor, contamination events — detected on the platform, not days later at shore.
04
Airspace management
ADS-B surveillance, UTM service supplier, eVTOL integration, AWOS-equivalent weather. The ground layer for the drone economy.
05
Emergency communications
Resilient mesh across open water and remote airspace. VHF, GMDSS compatibility, LEO uplink. The backbone that survives when commercial cellular doesn't.
06
Environmental compliance
PAM for NARW and other protected species. Construction noise monitoring. BOEM and NMFS-grade reporting in standard formats, continuously.
07
Bioremediation & cleanup
The platform that detects contamination also guides the response and confirms the recovery. Drift swarms map plastic density at 1 km resolution.
08
Restoration & preservation
Coral, kelp, and seagrass health tracked continuously. Marine Protected Area enforcement. The monitoring network is the preservation infrastructure.
09
Energy harvesting & transport
Solar, wave, tidal, thermal gradient. Each node self-powers. At fleet scale, surplus energy becomes the monitoring backbone for subsea cables and offshore charging.
10
Communications infrastructure
The fleet is a mesh. The mesh is broadband. LoRa for telemetry, WiFi for local, CBRS for private cellular, LEO for global. Coverage as a side effect.
11
Sovereign compute
Tribal data stays tribal. Allied nation data stays sovereign. High seas data belongs to the flag state. PQC and BLAKE3 enforce it cryptographically.
12
Resilience by design
No single point of failure. Fleet routes around storm damage, vessel strike, ice. Equipment that fails gracefully in the most hostile environment on Earth.
Sensors watch. Infrastructure acts. Horizon is infrastructure.
