Ocean Autonomy Cluster is pleased to welcome Tocaro Blue as a new member. Based in Pensacola, Florida, the company brings advanced expertise in radar processing, machine learning, and multi-sensor fusion to the maritime autonomy ecosystem.

Tocaro Blue develops ProteusCore™, a radar intelligence software that applies deep neural networks and vessel dynamics algorithms to filter noise, classify objects, and track movements in real time. The solution enables developers and operators to interpret radar data more intuitively, reducing operator workload and strengthening situational awareness.

Smarter radar for autonomous operations

"Our goal is to modernize legacy marine sensors with smart software," says Breanna Clemmons at Tocaro Blue. “By combining radar intelligence with autonomy and sensor fusion, we contribute a deeper layer of awareness and safety to autonomous maritime operations.”

Seeking partners and collaboration opportunities

The company’s technology can automatically tune radar range and gain settings, deliver high-confidence target classifications, and integrate seamlessly with autonomous systems such as USVs and ISR buoys. Tocaro Blue now seeks collaboration with partners interested in joint projects, case studies, and white papers, as well as opportunities to expand data collection and train machine learning models in diverse regions. 

ProteusCore is currently being sold as a developer toolset for USVs, ISR Buoys, camera fusion, and building modernized user interfaces. 

With Tocaro Blue on board, the Ocean Autonomy Cluster gains a partner pushing the frontiers of radar-based perception and intelligent sensing at sea.
