Open AI Architecture & Edge Analytics for Submarine Systems Training by Tonex
Artificial intelligence applications may support onboard information processing, but their engineering value depends on bounded use cases, reliable inputs, and transparent operational limitations. This course examines modular artificial intelligence (AI) software architecture and edge analytics for submarine systems, including data pipelines, inference services, processing constraints, model governance, and assurance needs. Participants study how AI components can be isolated behind defined interfaces and assessed for latency, reliability, maintainability, and integration. The material distinguishes performance measured on representative datasets from justified claims about field behavior and readiness.
Cybersecurity concerns include data manipulation, compromised inference components, and unauthorized access to sensitive outputs. Secure edge architecture strengthens cybersecurity through trusted input provenance, protected updates, controlled interfaces, and monitored model integrity.
The practical training approach includes exercises, real-world case studies, and examples of processes and documentation used in submarine software engineering projects, including AI component interface diagrams, data lineage records, model evaluation reports, and controlled deployment decision logs.
