Connext in Maritime Autonomous Applications

To meet the challenges of the demanding maritime environment, 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. 

The UMAA standard allows for command and control from operators across the wide array of UUVs and USVs that the Navy is currently employing, and allows for command and control of multiple platforms from various vendors across a common standard.

The UMAA standard selected DDS as its messaging layer protocol for its ability to be vendor agnostic and its capacity to support a broad range of use cases.

RTI Connext is the leading DDS solution. In this seminar we will focus on teaching you how to use Connext in your UMAA systems, and how to address common design challenges of developing autonomous maritime systems.
