SAES participates as a member of the consortium developing the BLUESIM project, selected in the 2023 call of the Naval Sector PERTE by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism.
The consortium is composed of 5 national entities and is coordinated by the company Clue Technologies. Its completion is scheduled for June 2025.
BLUESIM (Synthetic Training Platform for Autonomous UxVs) focuses on the research of a new type of training architecture for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems based on deep learning. The project targets two initial applications: the characterisation of a synthetic marine environment for deep learning and the representation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) with synthetic systems.
SAES will lead two work packages within this project, related to: Characterisation of the marine acoustic environment, in which it will simulate the acoustic environment adapted to the operational conditions of the UxVs, and Simulation model of acoustic sensors and their interfaces, in which it will simulate a Side-Scan Sonar (SSS) and a forward-looking sonar. Additionally, it will participate in other work packages related to activities such as requirements definition, system architecture definition, and integration and testing of the complete system.
