U.S Navy Challenge: Autonomous Detection of Marine Mammals – Instructions for Submission

Instructions Provided by Dr. David Higgins

OVERVIEW: The US Navy is seeking innovative technologies to help protect marine mammal species. As maritime traffic density and the use of unmanned vessels increases, current manual methods used to detect these identified marine species are not as effective. The Seeker is looking for technological solutions to enhance the real-time detection of Killer whales or North Atlantic Right whales. Do you have an idea? The winning solution will win no less than $50,000!
