Canada’s Ocean Supercluster announces $6.3M C-MASS Project – A Near-Real-Time Monitoring Solution for the Ocean’s Near Shore Zone


Canada’s Ocean Supercluster announces $6.3M C-MASS Project – A Near-Real-Time Monitoring Solution for the Ocean’s Near Shore Zone

Today, alongside project partners, Canada’s Ocean Supercluster (OSC) announced the $6.3 million C-MASS project (Coastal Mapping/Monitoring via Autonomous Systems & Services). Using uncrewed autonomous vehicles, this project will develop a near-real-time monitoring solution for the ocean’s littoral (near shore) zone to deliver actionable data to marine industries.

Traditionally, monitoring and mapping programs are costly, limited, and rarely maintain current and relevant information. Critical coastal data often lacks necessary coverage and immediacy, especially in emergencies. It’s therefore difficult to plan, implement, and support marine operations. The C-MASS project will leverage partners’ existing products and capabilities to advance state-of-the-art capabilities in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Autonomous Uncrewed Systems (AUS) to collect and maintain actionable data for marine industries such as coastal defence; life sciences; nearshore aquaculture/shellfish harvesting; climate change monitoring; emergency and infrastructure planning/management; search and rescue; ports and shipping and more.

With a total project value of over $6.3 million, the OSC will provide $1.8 million in funding with the balance coming from project partners. The C-MASS Project is led by Mount Pearl, NL based Compusult Ltd. who’s working with Canadian partners StrobelTEK, Spiri Robotics, PicSea Canada Ltd., CogNova Technologies, and the Government of Nova Scotia as well as international partner, Resolve Robotics.

The data collected through the C-MASS project will improve evidence and awareness of coastal change and support decision-makers adaptation to a changing climate. This project is applicable to ocean communities around the world and can advance partner technologies global blue economy. C-MASS will create and maintain 10 full time jobs through its duration.

Quotes:

“With support from Canada’s Ocean Cluster, this project will change how coastlines are mapped and what we know about the environment all thanks to near-real-time monitoring. This novel Canadian-made technology has the potential for many uses that can lead to improved living standards for ocean communities worldwide.” – Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry

“The C-MASS project is an example of the power of the Global Innovation Clusters to bring partners together to solve big, challenging real-world problems. Gaining more accurate coastal data will bolster emergency responses and support day-to-day marine operations across a range of industries, from life sciences to search and rescue. We’re proud to support this project, not only for its economic impacts but also for the improved understanding it will provide about the impacts of climate change on our oceans and coasts.” – Joanne Thompson, Member of Parliament for St. John’s East

“The C-MASS project team is developing a solution to collect better data and monitor our coastlines so we can use near-real time information to make decisions for ocean operations, supporting both the productivity and the well-being of our ocean environment.” – Kendra MacDonald, CEO, Canada’s Ocean Supercluster

The monitoring and mapping of Canada’s coastal areas is extremely challenging: the environment is harsh and constantly changing. This is becoming an even higher priority for our country every day – for things like maritime border security, search and rescue, and environmental monitoring and mitigation. This project brings together technologies from a team of small, world-leading tech companies, which is led by Compusult. Together, we are designing a system unlike anything in the world right now, using well-developed GIS software, and a suite of robotic vehicles by air, land, and sea to visualize, monitor, and manage coastal zone data.” – Paul Mitten, Vice-President, Compusult

Supergrappe des océans du Canada annonce le projet C-MASS – Une solution de surveillance en temps quasi réel pour la zone côtière de l’océan d’une valeur de 6,3 M$

Supergrappe des océans du Canada annonce le projet C-MASS – Une solution de surveillance en temps quasi réel pour la zone côtière de l’océan d’une valeur de 6,3 M$

Aux côtés de partenaires du projet, Supergrappe des océans du Canada a annoncé aujourd’hui le projet de C-MASS (Cartographie/surveillance côtière via des systèmes et services autonomes) d’une valeur 6.3 millions de dollars. En utilisant des véhicules autonomes sans équipage, ce projet développera une solution de surveillance en temps quasi réel pour la zone littorale de l’océan (près de la côte) afin de fournir des données exploitables aux industries maritimes.

Les programmes de surveillance et de cartographie sont habituellement coûteux et limités. De plus, ils ne conservent que rarement des informations à jour et pertinentes. Les données côtières critiques manquent souvent de couverture et d’immédiateté nécessaires, en particulier en cas d’urgence. Il est donc difficile de planifier, de mettre en œuvre et de soutenir les opérations maritimes. Le projet C-MASS viendra mettre à profit les capacités et les produits actuels des partenaires pour faire progresser les capacités de pointe des systèmes d’information géospatiale (SIG), de l’Internet des objets (IdO) et des systèmes autonomes sans équipage (AUS) afin de recueillir et de tenir à jour des données exploitables pour les industries marines telles que la défense côtière, les sciences de la vie, l’aquaculture/la récolte de mollusques près des côtes, la surveillance du changement climatique; la planification et la gestion des urgences et des infrastructures; la recherche et le sauvetage; les ports et le transport maritime et plus encore.

De la valeur totale du projet de plus de 6,3 millions de dollars, Supergrappe des océans fournira un financement de 1,8 million de dollars pour compléter le financement provenant de partenaires du projet. Le projet C-MASS est dirigé par l’entreprise Compusult de Mount Pearl à Terre-Neuve qui collabore avec les partenaires canadiens StrobelTEK, Spiri Robotics, PicSea Canada Ltd., le gouvernement provincial de la Nouvelle-Écosse et le partenaire international, Resolve Robotics.

Les données recueillies dans le cadre du projet C-MASS permettront d’améliorer les preuves et la sensibilisation au changement côtier et d’appuyer l’adaptation des décideurs à un changement climatique. Ce projet s’applique aux communautés océaniques du monde entier et il peut faire progresser les technologies partenaires de l’économie bleue mondiale. C-MASS créera et maintiendra 10 emplois à temps plein tout au long de sa durée.

In the Adaptive Learning Technology project, Training Works will work with partners Compusult Ltd., Altera Infrastructure, Qikiqtaaluk Corporation, and the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland, to develop a commercially viable fatigue risk mitigation learning technology which can be scaled across marine industries. The resulting technology will link biometric and environmental data to identify fatigue markers and provide individualized corrective action(s) and risk mitigation techniques through Training Works’ adaptive learning platform, Skilltinuous.

The Adaptive Learning Technology project will create and maintain 22 full time jobs through its duration with the potential for more than 100 indirect jobs as a result. The first market for commercialization will focus on offshore workers within Canada’s Ocean Supercluster’s membership. The project team will explore marine connections to create new opportunities to bring the solution to customers within the Canadian marine marketplace.
