Ai Sensing

London – November 03, 2026 -- Windward, the Maritime AI company, has acquired Azimut.ai, a maritime visual intelligence firm, adding an optical sensing layer to its multi-source platform and moving into ground and ship-based sensors for the first time.

Cameras at chokepoints target vessels that stop transmitting

Windward says its current picture draws on AIS, satellite imagery and RF data. Not every vessel transmits, and signals can be switched off, obscured by weather or jammed. Azimut.ai's technology identifies and fingerprints vessels in real time at maritime chokepoints and ports, so ships remain visible even when they go dark.
