Redefining Underwater Surveillance

Toronto, ON - Petromyzon is developing a new generation of intelligent, software-defined sonobuoys designed to improve underwater surveillance. By leveraging state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, Petromyzon is creating a sensor network that is more powerful, adaptable, and scalable than current systems.

The demand for sophisticated underwater surveillance is growing rapidly, driven by increasing geopolitical tensions and the modernization of naval forces worldwide. However, the market has been characterized as a duopoly, creating supply chain vulnerabilities for NATO nations. Petromyzon aims to disrupt this market by offering a superior, non-export controlled solution.

The Petromyzon Advantage: AI-Powered Acoustic Detection

Traditional sonobuoys operate on a "sense, transmit, process" model, which is limited by bandwidth and requires extensive human analysis. Petromyzon's innovative "sense, process, transmit" approach embeds advanced AI directly into the sensor nodes.

This system uses a Transformer-based architecture to learn directly from raw acoustic data, allowing it to detect and classify faint signatures that would be missed by conventional methods. This is coupled with a reinforcement learning agent that actively manages the sensor network, optimizing detection and tracking in real-time.

This application of AI to underwater acoustics is part of a growing trend. Researchers are increasingly using AI and machine learning to analyze complex underwater soundscapes for everything from marine life monitoring to defense applications.

The ultimate vision is to secure Canadian Arctic sovereignty with Canadian-developed and manufactured sensor technology.

A Foundation of Expertise

Petromyzon's approach is grounded in extensive research and a deep understanding of both AI and naval operations. Mr. Hebb holds a Master of Applied Science from the University of Toronto, where his research focused on using reinforcement learning for sensor scheduling. His background also includes a Bachelor of Engineering from the Royal Military College of Canada and operational experience with maritime patrol aircraft.
