01what it is

What it does.

A live map and data platform over public maritime sources — NOAA tides, buoys and forecasts, NASA POWER meteorology, GEBCO bathymetry, satellite sea-surface products, HF-radar currents and more — with a 45-family provider registry. Every value keeps its provider, observation time, unit and quality instead of being replaced by a fixture.

No physical Pelagio Defense device is deployed or connected. The hardware is a concept, the autonomy simulator is clearly separated from live data, and the bathymetry is not for navigation. The site says all of this itself.

02the product

Real screens, in order.

Captured from the live deployment. Each caption describes what the screen actually shows.

  1. 01

    Software today, hardware labelled as concept

    The home page separates the three things it contains: live public data, a hardware concept, and an isolated simulation.

    pelagio-defense.vercel.app
    The Pelagio Defense home page: Infrastructure for maritime autonomy, a concept drawing labelled pre-hardware, and a welcome panel listing explore real data, inspect the source, see the future hardware, and simulation is separate

  2. 02

    Live observations with their source

    The map inspector shows real readings for a location, each with the provider and how long ago it was updated.

    The Pelagio Defense live map centred on Monterey Bay with bathymetry and chart layers, and a location inspector showing water level and sea temperature readings with their provider and update time

  3. 03

    Researched is not connected

    The registry lists every provider family with its status, licence class and access mode, and says which are actually connected.

    The Pelagio Defense data-source registry: filters for active, free, commercial and public-domain providers, and a table of provider families with status, licence and verification date

03engineering

How it is built.

Provider integrations with health checks that make real bounded requests, a versioned telemetry contract for future devices, hardware-readiness documentation, and end-to-end tests.

04where it stands

Still being built.

The software is live; the hardware does not exist yet.
