HAVELSAN, a leading software development firm, has operationalized BLUEVISION, an advanced maritime safety solution. Designed as a modular decision support and navigation aid system, the platform serves a broad spectrum of applications ranging from commercial container vessels and luxury yachts to unmanned surface vehicles and military platforms.
BLUEVISION differs from conventional maritime navigation methods by integrating Automatic Identification System (AIS) sensor data with advanced image processing technology to create comprehensive maritime situational awareness. The system can detect and locate in real-time objects that radar struggles to identify, such as small boats, buoys, and persons in water. Built on advanced computer vision and intelligent data fusion technologies, the platform incorporates thermal and daylight cameras, a high-performance artificial intelligence processing unit, and a touchscreen display interface.
HAVELSAN holds a leading position in Turkey's defense industrial ecosystem, particularly in software development and system integration. The company brings decades of experience in developing combat management systems, command and control platforms, and maritime operational solutions. BLUEVISION represents the application of this institutional expertise to maritime safety and autonomous platform navigation. The company's integration with critical systems such as the ADVENT Combat Management System demonstrates BLUEVISION's reliability in both military and commercial applications.
The system operates at full performance in both day and night conditions, overlaying digital data on live video feeds to provide operators with real-time information. It automatically classifies objects on the water surface and estimates their geographic positions with precision, alerting operators to collision risks through audio and visual warnings. Thanks to its modular architecture, BLUEVISION enables straightforward integration and is now actively deployed on the Turkish Navy's SANCAR armed unmanned surface vessel for autonomous navigation and search and rescue operations. The system operates in full integration with HAVELSAN's ADVENT Combat Management System, supporting autonomous voyage safety.
The use of artificial intelligence and sensor fusion in maritime operations is an increasingly prevalent trend in international defense industry standards. Similar technologies are being applied in commercial maritime sectors to enhance vessel safety. BLUEVISION has been integrated into RAFNAR boats through collaboration with VN Maritime and Piloda Shipyard, making it available for use by crews on commercial container vessels. The system provides comprehensive solutions including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue (SAR), and specialized periscope surveillance modules for submarines. This continuously learning infrastructure, which adapts to new scenarios through software updates, minimizes human error in maritime operations and increases operational efficiency.
