Abstract:

A system for providing autonomous robotic mobile threat security is disclosed. The system may perform an operation that includes receiving sensor information associated with an environment surrounding an object, such as a maritime vessel, where the sensor information is associated with a contact. The system may transform the contact information into track data corresponding to a track associated with the contact. Additionally, the system may compute, based on the track data, a confidence level for the track. The confidence level can indicate a representation of the degree to which a threatening behavior is exhibited by the contact as indicated by the track. The system may then determine if the confidence level for the track is at least as great as a threshold confidence level. If the confidence level is determined to be at least as great as the threshold confidence level, the system may classify the track as a threat. Finally, the system may employ a countermeasure against the threat.
