About
dotOcean is a defense software developer based in Bruges, Belgium working in unmanned systems, c4isr, defense software & ai.
dotOcean is a Belgian company developing maritime and multi-domain software, data architectures and autonomous vessel systems for civil and defense markets. Its defense offering, positioned as Defense Solutions, centres on interoperability and decision-support software: the OBSERVE, DECIDE and CONNECT modules are designed to embed into existing command-and-control systems and platforms, and to support ISR data exchange using STANAG standards. The company also develops autonomous unmanned surface vessels, including the Marsur developed with the Belgian Navy and the Royal Military Academy under the Triple Helix research project. Its civil activities include autonomous vessel control (Automate Your Boat), cloud robotics, VISOR bridge visibility systems for tugboats, and sediment and seabed measurement instruments such as DensX and GraviProbe. Services cover system architecture (NAF, UAF, MODAF, DoDAF), data pipelines, CI/CD, and sensor fusion.
