Laconic will upgrade the current USMC surf characterization methods with a state-of-the-art automated software and hardware maritime environmental monitoring system that can identify, measure and quantify risk variables at scale and speed. This fits with the USMC's overall plan, based on Force Design 2030 (also known as FD2030), to modernize, restructure and reshape its combat power for future near-peer adversary conflicts.
Laconic's Environmental Intelligence service, powered by SADAR™ (Sentient All-Domain Augmented Response), a proprietary AI and ML software platform, and Laconic's Micro-AUV and Micro-Buoy sensors, was selected by USMC to detect, collect and analyze surf conditions at beach landing sites and the threats that exist within them, both man-made and environmental. Laconic's persistent sensing delivers real-time accurate data of the highest-rated pedigree on environmental metrics and impacts, including site geology, hydrology, bathymetry and current/cross-current conditions. The sensor-collected data will improve the conduct and safety of USMC littoral maneuver operations. It will help commanders and safety officers with real-time decision support and can ultimately eliminate risk exposure and save lives.
"As part of our FD2030 mandate, we are always reviewing and adopting emerging technologies to quickly make decisions in real-time and eliminate risk," said Brigadier General Kyle B. Ellison, Vice Chief of Naval Research, U.S. Marine Corps. "We are very pleased to have found that Laconic's Environmental Intelligence and SADAR software and hardware sensing platform, specifically the Micro-AUVs and Micro-Buoys, provide a much clearer and more accurate picture of the surf zone -- in fact, the micro-environment-- than our previous surf characterization methodologies."
Andrew Gilmour, CEO and co-founder of Laconic, looks forward to a great continued working relationship with the USMC. "We are extremely proud to be working with USMC," Gilmour said, "and that we were chosen to solve such a complex challenge as the identification, measurement and monitoring of surf conditions for safe beach landing. This is a huge endorsement of Laconic's technology and processes and highlights SADAR's unique ability to ingest all-domain environmental data in support of decision making for policymakers, commanders, safety personnel and technical subject matter experts."
