# Faster sea trials for autonomous maritime systems

Daily sea trials become rapid, repeatable validation, with one system of record that scales with vehicle count and mission complexity.

The challenge

## Maritime programs face unpredictable conditions and growing fleets.

Sensor, payload, and navigation datasets grow with every vessel. Nominal replaces spreadsheet bottlenecks and bespoke tooling with a shared system of record that scales with the fleet.

Where teams get stuck

- ### Long waits  
Surfacing triggers hours of downtime while crews wait on data.
- ### Manual bottlenecks  
Spreadsheet merges and hand-rolled reviews slow test cadence.
- ### Fragmented visibility  
Data split across systems hides fleet-wide performance.
- ### Scaling readiness  
Manual workflows don't hold up from prototype to fleet operations.

Features

## Maritime test and validation in one place

Connect vessels, payloads, and operators in one environment for analysis, collaboration, and reporting.

- ### Capture and catalog mission data  
Telemetry, video, logs, weather, and attachments land in one synchronized catalog, searchable by metadata across vessels and campaigns.
- ### Manage fleets, not files  
Keep a living record for every vessel and track propulsion efficiency, navigation drift, and payload reliability over time.
- ### Check every mission automatically  
Run the same validation rules on every mission, so results are consistent no matter who reviews them.
- ### Review findings together  
Alerts, assignments, and version-controlled findings keep investigations moving across the team.
- ### Compare across vehicles and missions  
Correlate environment, configuration, and anomalies, and compare vessels side by side across the fleet.
- ### Generate reports built for scale  
Export compliance-ready reports that stay linked to the telemetry and logs behind them.

## Frequently asked questions

How does Nominal cut downtime after surfacing?

Data lands in one catalog as soon as a vehicle surfaces, and automated checks run right away. VATN went from hours to under five minutes between surfacing and validation.

Can we track performance across a whole fleet?

Yes. Every vessel has a living record, and you can compare propulsion efficiency, navigation drift, and payload reliability across the fleet.

Does Nominal replace spreadsheet reviews?

Yes. Automated checks and reports replace manual spreadsheet merges, and every report stays linked to the data behind it.

Where can Nominal be deployed?

In Nominal's cloud, in your VPC, on premises, or fully air-gapped. Access controls and audit trails come built in wherever the data lives.
