2ndHelm — operator assurance when autonomy is not enough.
Situational awareness, manual recovery and emergency control for remotely operated, semi-autonomous and unmanned vessels.
2NDHELM // RECOVERY CONSOLEDEVELOPMENT
E-STOP
The role of 2ndHelm
Keep a human fallback during the transition to autonomy.
2ndHelm runs as an onboard supervision and browser-viewed operator layer. It provides a clear recovery path if autonomy, communications or a vessel subsystem enters a degraded state.
Planned capabilities
Designed around marine-grade resilience.
Chart & vessel state
Map, heading, COG, SOG, wake, follow-vessel and re-centre behaviour.
Manual recovery
Throttle, steering, dead-man control, request/release control and emergency stop.
Health supervision
Heartbeat monitoring, stale-data detection, automatic reconnection and degraded/offline states.
Fault isolation
Restartability, watchdogs, audit trails and isolation of failed camera or subsystem feeds.
White-label deployment
Customer branding, domain deployment and integration with existing vessel systems.
Operator view
One interface. Continuous supervision underneath.
The operator sees cameras, chart, vessel state and recovery controls. The onboard system continues monitoring health, freshness and connection state in the background.
- Background service operation
- Cross-tab emergency stop
- Audit log and event timestamps
- SIM and REAL mode awareness
