Luma360 is a new Maritime Domain Awareness system from Suburban Marine, Inc. that combines data from RADAR and AIS with modern networking to allow tracking vessels over large geographic areas.
MDA systems are increasingly popular for port security, border security, and monitoring of Marine Protected Areas. Adding many remote, networked sensors allows for reduced patrol manpower and more efficient use of limited security budgets.
Luma360 is rugged and ready for outdoors with a stainless steel environmental enclosure and Mil-Aero bulkhead connectors.
The system features a edge-compute ready computer capable of running MS Windows or Linux, as well as a low power IOT controller for sensor interfacing and power control. A GPU option allows for edge AI deployment for local processing of camera feeds.
The cabinet contains local edge compute, power conversion, networking, and AIS receiver. Wide 100-240VAC or 21VDC-29VDC allow both grid-tie and off-grid solar power for flexible deployment.
In the standard configuration there are 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (nominally RADAR, Camera, Maintenance, and WAN) and an external NMEA0183 (RS422) port. Wifi and LTE are optional add-ons for connectivity.
Furuno radars are supported with a custom software called Heimdal that supports accessing radar feeds over a wide area network. A web based user interface allows remote access and control of the system, including setting target areas, viewing the radar intensity image, viewing and canceling targets.
External software can be integrated via a NMEA0183 target feed or the native json-rpc and REST API. Custom sensor integration is possible.
Suburban Marine operates a commercial VPN overlay network solution to allow global access to deployed systems. The overlay network allows for a secure, flat network hierarchy and provides flexibility for data sharing between deployed systems, authenticated users, and central data archival systems.
