USV · ASV · AUTONOMOUS MARITIME PLATFORMS
Maritime platforms from coastal reconnaissance and rapid interception to heavy logistics support. We build the boat, and we write the system.
OPERATIONAL CONCEPT
Reshaping maritime mission capability through modularity, autonomy and asymmetric tactics.
01
A low-cost, high-manoeuvrability unmanned fleet establishes tactical advantage and reduces personnel exposure in high-threat waters.
02
A single core platform with mission modules, switching rapidly between reconnaissance, surveillance, resupply and interception.
03
Sensor fusion and AI-assisted decision-making support extended unattended operation and full-time autonomous missions.
COMMON AUTONOMY ARCHITECTURE
Sensing, communications and adaptive control form a scalable mission platform.
Radar, EO/IR, AIS and environmental sensors integrated into a complete maritime situational picture.
Mesh RF, satellite communications, 4G / 5G and mission data links for high-availability connectivity.
Speed, heading and autonomous behaviour adjusted in real time to sea state, mission and energy status, optimising endurance.
Reconnaissance, surveillance, resupply and mission modules swap quickly on the same platform, sharing logistics and training across vessel types.
SYSTEM ADVANTAGES
A hull can be outsourced; a control system cannot. Hull, propulsion, marine control electronics and operating software are all developed and integrated in-house.
Hull, propulsion, marine control boards and operating software all developed in-house — interfaces and accountability are not spread across multiple suppliers, so fault isolation and upgrades come straight from us.
Critical sensor sources follow a priority chain with automatic handover: when the primary source fails the system switches to the backup and tells the operator plainly, reclaiming the primary the moment it returns.
Geofencing and link-loss handling run in the onboard autonomy layer and stay effective even when the command link drops — safety does not sit on the chain that can break.
Every value on screen maps to a real sensor source. Where there is no data the system shows "--" and never fills the gap with an estimate; a reading that was present and then stops raises its own separate alert.
Software developed in-house with license-clean components, no cloud dependency, full offline operation and data resident locally — suited to the licensing review of sensitive procurement.
49 Taiwan invention patent applications filed, covering command and control software, perception and autonomy, thermal AI perception, embedded control, navigation safety, cross-domain unified command including UAV extension, and precision berthing.

CORUM PILOT
CORUM PILOT brings navigation, mission planning, live video and full vessel status onto a single screen. No juggling between separate devices — one operator holds complete command of the vessel's navigation, cameras and machinery, and a single station can hold up to five vessels. Every platform in the range runs the same interface.
2.1
A single screen integrates the satellite chart, live track, camera feed and twin-engine control. Chart and route at centre, navigation data and operating modes on the left, video and engines on the right; nearby vessels are monitored automatically with approach alerts.
2.2
On satellite imagery or a nautical chart, a mission is drawn like a route: waypoints, loiter points, automatic area sweeps, mission boundaries and exclusion zones. One click uploads it to the vessel, after an automatic safety check.
2.3
The stabilised gimbal camera switches between thermal, colour and visible modes; tapping a target on screen locks and tracks it automatically. The system fuses radar, infrared and vessel identification, continuously showing range, bearing and speed — just as clear at night or in poor visibility.
2.4
The whole vessel's electromechanical status on one page: engines, generation, batteries, fuel and water levels, pumps, navigation lights and alarms — as intuitive as a car dashboard. Pumps switch remotely; alarms display by severity and are acknowledged one by one.
Every function on a single screen with intuitive logic; operators work independently after brief training.
Navigation, video and machinery handled by one person — less crew, lower operating cost.
Automatic collision alerts, exclusion-zone fencing, pre-mission safety checks, and manual takeover at any moment.
Optional feature modules to match real needs, from basic control to advanced image recognition — predictable budgeting.
Software and hull both developed and produced by the group, with first-hand service, warranty and upgrades.
SAFETY BY DESIGN
On every voyage, PILOT keeps watch with multiple layers of protection — from automatic pre-departure checks, through collision avoidance and zone fencing under way, to automatic return if communication fails. Safety runs through the whole journey, and the final decision always belongs to the operator.
| Mechanism | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-departure check | Waypoint validity, depth safety and exclusion-zone conflicts verified automatically before every upload. |
| Collision alerts | Closest approach distance and time to nearby vessels computed automatically, with alerts on approach. |
| Exclusion-zone fence | Automatic navigation strictly respects mission boundaries and restricted zones. |
| Link-loss handling | On communication loss: automatic return, fixed loiter or mission continuation as preset — the vessel never drifts out of control. |
| Instant manual takeover | In automatic mode, nudging the joystick hands over control seamlessly — the last word is always human. |
CORUM NEREUS
CORUM NEREUS is the fleet-level tier above PILOT. When an operation grows from one vessel to many, NEREUS brings every position, status and tasking onto one chart and one shared operational picture, so a small team can run the whole fleet.
Positions, tracks, mission progress and alarms for every vessel on a single display, shared live to every station.
Multi-vessel coordination and formation management; missions assigned to an individual vessel or a whole group, with progress tracked.
Certificate expiry tracking, maintenance scheduling, fuel and consumption records — operations and administration in the same system, no separate spreadsheets.
Same interface language and operating logic as PILOT: a single-vessel operator steps up to a fleet station with minimal retraining.
CORUM DUBHE
Restricted distributionCORUM DUBHE is the unmanned fleet command and control system developed in-house by the group, sitting above PILOT and NEREUS. It commands mixed formations of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) simultaneously, unifying situational awareness, swarm coordination, geofencing, voice command and authority control in a single command environment — enabling a small crew to conduct wide-area maritime surveillance and coordinated operations.
This page is a capability summary. Full technical documentation, configuration and integration detail are under restricted distribution, released only to addressee government and defence organisations.
A single command station controls multiple USVs and UAVs, with group-based delegation of authority and mixed formations across vehicle types.
Software, control hardware and data link all developed in-house; the whole system runs fully offline with no cloud or foreign licensing dependency — data never leaves the system.
Multi-layer geofencing with automatic route correction; critical decisions are reserved for human-in-the-loop confirmation.
Four-tier role-based access control (RBAC) with a tamper-proof audit log, meeting the governance and security requirements of government and defence organisations.
Shares its interface language and operating logic with PILOT and NEREUS: a single-vessel operator steps up to fleet command with no learning curve.
3.1
A complete command station on one chart: USV/UAV fleet list, radar with MARPA tracking, AIS targets with CPA/TCPA calculation, gyro-stabilised thermal imagery and propulsion control of the active vessel — all on a single screen.
3.2
A wide-area view showing the full fleet deployed, with contacts colour-coded by friend–neutral–hostile identification, giving the commander the entire theatre disposition at a glance.
3.3
A unified route manager for USVs and UAVs: routes are edited directly on the chart, validated automatically and uploaded to the vehicle in one click, with automatic adjustment where a route conflicts with a geofence.
3.4
Built-in swarm engine: mixed USV + UAV formations, group command, aerial payload control with arming-sequence management, and automatically executed mission chains.
Multi-layer protection: beyond classic exclusion zones, it covers depth safety and dynamic exclusion zones around moving contacts. The system corrects the route before a violation occurs, and the rerouting decision stays with the commander.
| Protection layer | Capability |
|---|---|
| Static geofence | Exclusion zones and mission boundaries, with pre-alerting on approach and alarm on breach. |
| Depth geofence | Depth monitored against draft and safety margin to prevent grounding in shallow water. |
| Dynamic exclusion | Moving exclusion zones derived from surrounding vessel traffic, with encounter-risk assessment. |
| Automatic route correction | Where a route conflicts with a geofence, a corrected route is generated and safety-validated. |
| Human in the loop | The corrected route executes only after the commander confirms; the decision is fully logged. |
| Zone import | Officially published maritime exclusion zones can be imported and applied directly. |
※ This section is a capability summary only. This and other core DUBHE methods fall within the group's patent applications; technical content is subject to official publication.
The commander can issue orders by voice: a single sentence executes compound actions — switching vehicles, opening a sensor panel or locking a target — with support for military number pronunciation. Speech recognition can run entirely on the machine with no network connection, and voice data never leaves the system.
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Runs offline | Speech recognition can run entirely on the machine with no network connection; voice data never leaves the system. |
| Operational vocabulary | The command set is tailored to the unit's operating procedures and language, and can be extended. |
※ The operational vocabulary is currently Mandarin; the command set is adaptable to other languages per project.
Once a target is designated by voice or on screen, the EO/IR gimbal slews and locks onto it automatically; the video panel opens with a prominent lock frame and image tracking takes over — dramatically shortening the detect–identify–track cycle.
DUBHE incorporates four-tier role-based access control that separates system administration from operational command. Each user's scope is defined precisely by fleet group or individual vessel; every critical operation and every unauthorised attempt is written to a tamper-proof audit log.
| Role | Authority |
|---|---|
| System administrator | Accounts, audit and configuration; no vessel command (separation of duties). |
| Commander | Full fleet command, mission tasking, assignment of operator scopes, audit access. |
| Operator | Control and sensor operation within the authorised scope (groups or vessels). |
| Observer | View-only situational awareness; no command authority whatsoever. |
DUBHE is a command-post desktop application that runs complete on a single station and extends to multi-screen consoles. Guiding principle: full sovereignty — no cloud, 100% offline operation, data resident in the local environment.
Charts, database and speech model all reside on the machine; full capability without a network.
In-house software with license-clean components, suited to sensitive-procurement audits.
Proprietary data link, standard marine protocols, S-57 charts and KML import.
A standard workstation suffices; extendable to multi-screen consoles or fixed hardened cabinets.
Same interface language as PILOT: operator transition is immediate.
Modular architecture: geofencing, swarm and voice upgrade independently.

ABOUT CORUM
Headquartered in Taoyuan, Taiwan, CORUM Group brings over twenty years of maritime engineering — from yacht and vessel design and construction to complete unmanned surface vessel (USV) and autonomous surface vessel (ASV) solutions.
The group operates CORUM International (shipbuilding), Corum (unmanned-vehicle systems integration), AMAS (control hardware) and AMAS Vision (EO/IR), with full vertical integration from hull and propulsion to control hardware and software: we build the boat, we write the system, and we provide the service first-hand.
Because marine-grade control boards are hard to source in Taiwan, the group develops its own vessel control electronics, engineered for high humidity, salt, vibration and electromagnetic interference. The platforms span the PIRANHA fast series, the Cachalote work series and the Mahi-mahi semi-submersible series, all running the same PILOT system — one interface, simple maintenance.
IN OUR YARD
Composite moulding, structural assembly, control electronics and vessel handover — all four stages take place in the group's own facilities.
