The Opportunity
Marine autonomy is growing fast. Launch and recovery is still a bottleneck.
Autonomous and unmanned underwater systems are reshaping defence, offshore operations, subsea surveillance, and ocean exploration. But while vehicles are becoming more capable, launch and recovery still remains one of the hardest parts of the operational chain.
Today, many AUV operations are still limited by vessel size, manual intervention, safety risk, and sea-state sensitivity. That creates a clear gap in the market: operators need a more autonomous, more efficient, and more scalable way to launch and recover unmanned vehicles.
The solution
AiLARS™ is built to automate the hardest part of AUV operations.
| AI-Vision | Object recognition, image processing |
| AI functionality | AI computes real-time location, updates AUV vector, provides feedback for command & control |
| Motion control system | Hybrid Active Heave Compensation (HAHC) to account for relative motion |
| Power supply | Electro-hydraulic or fully electric |
| Standards | IACS |
| Operational conditions | Sea state 3 or 5 |
| Applications/Industries | AUV, UUV, USV, Submarine rescue, Refuelling Port installation |
Product advantages
AiLARS™ is designed to bring together intelligence, safety, and versatility in one solution.
Autonomy
The system is designed to recognize and track vehicles autonomously and optimise capture and release timing with minimal human input.
Safety
AiLARS is intended to reduce manual intervention, support collision avoidance, and improve handling in demanding sea conditions.
Versatility
The system is presented as an all-in-one solution that can operate across multiple vessel and infrastructure types, including smaller ships, ports, submarines, and USVs.
Scalability
Deck materials present configurations from 100 to 1000 kg SWL and 6 to 11 m outreach, with container or skid-based mobile unit options.
Why it matters?
A better launch and recovery system changes the economics of marine autonomy.
AiLARS™ is designed to reduce operational complexity, improve safety, and widen the range of vessels and environments where AUV operations become practical.
By reducing operational complexity and lowering the need for heavy, resource-intensive launch and recovery setups, AiLARS helps operators do more with less. Its lighter and more efficient approach opens the door to autonomous operations from much smaller vessels, creating clear advantages in flexibility, operating cost, and emissions.
The result is a smarter launch and recovery solution that can help make advanced underwater operations more accessible, more efficient, and easier to scale.
Lower operational burden
Reduced need for manual intervention
Better safety in harsh conditions
