Edge ML Analytics for Unmanned Maritime Vessels
Expanso, Mycelial Kafka Connector
The U.S. Navy required a solution for deploying machine learning analytics in harsh deep ocean environments. Unmanned Undersea Vessels (UUVs) and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) operate in conditions where traditional cloud-based approaches fail.
Expanso's platform delivered a comprehensive solution for edge deployment with global orchestration capabilities. The platform enables seamless edge deployment with global job scheduling and control, enhanced on-device data processing, and real-time data synchronization using Mycelial's Kafka connector.
Global job scheduling and control capabilities that work even with intermittent connectivity.
Enhanced data processing directly on unmanned vessels without requiring constant cloud connectivity.
Data synchronization using Mycelial's Kafka connector when connectivity is available.
The implementation delivered reliable execution over varying network quality and bandwidth, meeting all DoD security requirements while supporting the Navy's AI/ML-driven military readiness initiatives.
"Expanso has been a key enabler in this shift, facilitating the deployment, maintenance, and observability of complex models."
