// HELM — AUTONOMY

The stack that sails her.

Helm is the autonomous navigation and station-keeping system every Segal hull ships with — collision-avoidance, dynamic positioning, and dock-and-discharge. It is the same autonomy discipline Segal runs from the ground to orbit, reskinned for the water.

// THE SHARED STACK

Autonomy is the spine of every Segal theater. A building resolves its own site and prints itself; a satellite compiles its own flight software; a hull resolves its own sea state and holds station. The boundary conditions change — gravity, atmosphere, feedstock — the discipline does not.

Helm is delivered in three tiers. Core holds station with a reduced watch aboard. Transit removes the bridge crew on a standard run — the 0-crew headline Drayage One already flies. Fleet coordinates many hulls across a corridor.

// TIERS

Three tiers of autonomy.

Core holds station with a watch aboard; Transit removes the bridge crew; Fleet coordinates many hulls across a corridor.

014 crew

Helm Core

Station-keeping

Dynamic positioning and collision-avoidance with a reduced bridge watch aboard. Holds station to tolerance; a crew still sails her.

from $1.20M

020 crew

Helm Transit

Crewless point-to-point

Self-navigating dock-to-dock: departure, transit, and dock-and-discharge with no bridge crew on a standard run.

from $3.40M

030 crew

Helm Fleet

Fleet-sequenced

Everything in Transit, plus multi-hull coordination: sequenced routing, weather routing, and port-slot negotiation across a corridor.

from $6.80M

// CAPABILITIES

What Helm does today — and what's still roadmap.

Marked honestly. A capability that has not sailed wears ROADMAP.

Collision-avoidance

LAUNCHED

COLREGS-aware sense-and-avoid from a fused sensor picture — radar, AIS, optical, and lidar.

Dynamic positioning

LAUNCHED

Holds station over a point to tolerance against wind, current, and sea state.

Autonomous dock-and-discharge

LAUNCHED

Approaches, berths, and discharges at a prepared dock without a crew on the wheel.

Crewless point-to-point transit

LAUNCHED

Departure to arrival with no bridge crew on a standard run — proven on Drayage One.

Fleet-sequenced coordination

ROADMAP

Many hulls coordinating route, weather routing, and port slots across a corridor — designed, not yet sailed in open water.
