Building Mission-Critical Maritime Systems with Connext

Interoperability & Fleet-Scale Performance

Maritime systems are evolving rapidly – from single autonomous vehicles to distributed fleets operating across constrained and contested networks. Whether developing USVs, UUVs, mission systems, or payload integrations, engineering teams face increasing complexity in interoperability, reliability, and real-time data distribution.

This in-person technical seminar will show how RTI Connext helps teams meet UMAA interoperability requirements, accelerate ROS 2-based development, and build production-ready maritime systems that can perform reliably. Attendees will see practical approaches, proven architectures, and software tools that help reduce integration risk, improve observability, and enable autonomous collaborative teaming at fleet scale.

In this session, we will cover how to:

• Meet UMAA interoperability requirements using a proven data-centric connectivity platform
• Accelerate SDK workflows and reduce integration complexity across maritime systems
• Integrate, test, and production-harden ROS 2-based systems
• Improve debugging and observability across distributed mission environments
• Design for degraded, contested, and bandwidth-limited maritime networks
• Enable autonomous collaborative teaming across multiple vehicles, payloads, and operators
• Move faster from prototype demonstrations to operational deployment

Attendees will gain practical insight into building resilient, interoperable maritime systems that perform reliably at sea – and scale from prototype to operational deployment.
