AUTONOMOUS AERIAL WATCH

Your vessel.
Always watched.

A shipborne drone system that maintains continuous awareness around vessels at sea—one aircraft patrols while the other charges.

01 / THE SYSTEM

A new layer of awareness
between the horizon and the hull.

EvaX turns two autonomous aircraft, a weatherized deck station, and an onboard edge computer into one continuous watch system—built around the vessel, not a remote control room.

01
◎✣

Continuous patrol

One drone maintains a configurable orbit, adapting to heading, speed, weather, and nearby traffic.

02
ϟ

Automated rotation

The relief aircraft charges on deck and takes over before the active drone reaches reserve power.

03
▦

MAVLink edge control

The onboard Pi connects to MAVLink-compatible aircraft, coordinates missions, analyzes detections, and runs the bridge dashboard locally.

04
⌂

Connected intelligence

Alerts, health data, and evidence stream to shore in real time—or synchronize later if the connection drops.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

Fly. Charge.
Handoff. Repeat.

A coordinated two-aircraft cycle preserves coverage without asking the crew to manage every launch or battery decision.

  1. 01
    PatrolThe active aircraft follows the moving vessel inside its configured watch envelope.
  2. 02
    ChargeThe relief aircraft remains secured in its deck station and charges for the next rotation.
  3. 03
    HandoffThe relief aircraft launches before the active unit recovers, preserving visual continuity.
  4. 04
    AlertWhen the system detects an anomaly, the bridge receives context—not just another alarm.

04 / EDGE + CLOUD ARCHITECTURE

Runs onboard.
Syncs when connected.

A ruggedized Raspberry Pi hosts the bridge dashboard, mission coordinator, local event store, and detection services. Each drone retains its own flight controller and safety logic; the Pi coordinates the mission rather than replacing the aircraft autopilot.

05 / BRIDGE-AUTHORIZED RESPONSE

From detection
to coordinated action.

When EvaX identifies a critical maritime hazard, it assembles the vessel identity, verified position, incident type, and visual evidence into a ready-to-review escalation. The bridge remains in command at every step.

Human authority is built in. Shore operations can monitor, request confirmation, or cancel a pending escalation—but cannot remotely transmit an unconfirmed Mayday.

06 / BUILT FOR OPERATIONS

Designed around real vessel constraints.

The Pi runs the local web dashboard, mission coordinator, event queue, health monitoring, and encrypted cloud synchronization without requiring a permanent internet connection.

MAVLink 2 heartbeats, GPS, battery, and system-health telemetry connect compatible aircraft to the onboard gateway, with optional signed-packet enforcement.

Mission parameters adapt to wind, precipitation, visibility, vessel motion, and configurable recovery thresholds.

Certified DSC/GMDSS radio integration can prepare a digital distress alert and the Channel 16 follow-up workflow. Two distinct onboard confirmations are required before live transmission.

The system detects, records, and recommends. Crew and authorized shore personnel retain operational decision-making authority.

Timestamped media, telemetry, AIS, weather, and system health synchronize to the cloud with acknowledgement and chain-of-custody history.
