Our Products

Two AI Product Lines

Autonomous UAS Maritime AI SAR

MarineWing & MARISAL-AI

Amphibious autonomous UAS for maritime SAR, with AI-based mission systems.

  • MARISAL-AI: All-weather aerial person-in-water detection designed for rain, fog and sea spray
  • Landing Controller: Sea-state adaptive autonomous water landing using RL and physics-informed neural networks
  • Water landing capability in Beaufort 4–5 sea states — payload delivery without crew exposure
  • Over 98% CO₂ reduction per sortie vs SAR helicopter

Dual-use: civil SAR (RNLI, MCA) and defence (coastal surveillance, CSAR). Funding sought from Innovate UK, CMDC7 and UKDI.

Why I3D Aero Systems

Engineering-Led Development

Agentic MBSE Automation

Multi-agent LLM workflows generate SysML v2 models, UAF artefacts and compliance documentation automatically — significantly reducing manual modelling effort.

Frontier AI Development

Reinforcement learning, physics-informed neural networks and foundation model adaptation for maritime autonomous systems — novel architectures for UK maritime autonomous systems.

Maritime SAR Focus

Targeting deployment with RNLI and MCA to replace fossil-fuel SAR helicopters with autonomous UAS — reducing CO₂ by over 98% per sortie while removing crew from high-risk environments.

SysMLv2-i3DLab: MBSE Interactive Environment

Practise SysML v2, explore UAF/NAF frameworks and collaborate on real autonomous systems projects. AI-assisted modelling from high-level mission needs to detailed system architecture.
