SOFAR AI / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SIGNAL

Built to listen.Driven by evidence.

We build acoustic intelligence for maritime awareness. Signal processing, machine learning and systems engineering — brought together by a team that builds and questions its own tools.

TWO DISCIPLINES → ONE SYSTEM / CONCEPT

OUR APPROACH

Signal first.
Evidence always.

Underwater sound carries evidence of vessel activity. We build systems that turn that evidence into information an operator can inspect — from acoustic detection to research into individual vessel identity.

OUR WORK / TWO DIRECTIONS

01 / DETECTION · OPEN SOURCE

Ocean Sentinel

Our open-source detection system connects hydrophone recordings, acoustic classification and maritime context. It began with the problem of illegal fishing and remains grounded in evidence that can be reviewed.

02 / IDENTITY · IN DEVELOPMENT

VESPER

Our research into acoustic identity asks what makes a vessel recognizable across recordings and conditions. VESPER is in development, building on the signal-processing foundation of SOFAR AI.
