- Ubotica Technologies, an Irish firm, secured $11 million in funding to expand its maritime-intelligence platform, Live Maritime Intelligence (LMI).
- LMI, launched in April, is designed to enable satellites to analyze data and act autonomously in orbit, reducing reliance on human oversight.
- Ubotica aims to create autonomous systems that detect threats quickly, thereby enhancing both strategic security and commercial opportunities over large maritime zones.
- This investment round was funded by Act Venture Capital, Greencode Ventures, and Atlantic Bridge.
- Already deployed on over 30 Earth-observation satellites, Ubotica’s AI applications work in concert with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a U.K. startup, Open Cosmos.
- Ubotica’s CEO, Fintan Buckley, emphasizes the platform’s ability to predict emerging risks, manage satellite tasks, and deliver swift intelligence for decision-making.
- The funds will help Ubotica to expand its Live Maritime Intelligence platform to market and enhance its capabilities for maritime and offshore security.
