Building autonomous maritime systems is incredibly challenging due to the ever-changing environment and adversarial threats. Undersea systems have additional challenges as they submerge and lose communications.
To help meet these challenges, the U.S. Navy has developed the Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA) to define a comprehensive data model and a standardized group of services required of maritime vessels and systems. This data model and the required services connect via a common connectivity framework, based on the Data Distribution Service (DDSTM) standard. RTI Connext®, based on DDS, provides fast, scalable, reliable, and secure connectivity from ocean floor to ship or land operations. Used by leaders in oceanic exploration drones and by the U.S. Navy, Connext is the communications framework for advanced, autonomous maritime systems and underwater research and exploration.
