Odyssey Mission

Next-Gen Command and Control Interface for Seamless UXV Management

Operators lack a unified, user‑friendly system to configure unmanned vessels, plan missions, monitor multiple operations and analyze results across domains—forcing them to rely on fragmented tools that slow decision‑making.

HII’s Odyssey™ Mission is an intuitive, next generation web-based cross-domain user interface solution built from the ground up to provide an all-in-one unmanned vessel management suite. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, Odyssey Mission provides a user-first experience with four cohesive lifecycle views to manage vehicle configuration, plan missions, monitor any number of simultaneous missions and perform critical post-mission analysis.

The Odyssey™ Mission ecosystem includes four integrated applications that enable complete control and insight across all mission phases:

Odyssey Sim: Physics-based modeling with real-world bathymetry to simulate conditions before deployment or as part of operational trade studies.
Odyssey Analysis: Detects anomalies and performance issues during or after missions.
Odyssey Health: Dashboard for real-time fault detection and diagnostics.
Odyssey HIIBatt: Energy management for REMUS and ROMULUS platforms.

Odyssey Mission is field-proven with more than 300 on-the-water testing days (1500+ hours of live demonstrations) and continues to be fielded on a large scale for both REMUS and USV customers.

Mission Application

Odyssey™ Mission can manage, control and monitor current REMUS-class UUVs (such as the R300 and R620 platforms), ROMULUS USVs, and UMAA-compliant vehicles and provides an API for external third-party user interfaces.

Advantages

Scalability: Deploy once, manage unmanned vehicles (UXVs) anywhere on the network, anywhere, anytime, through a common web interface.
Performance: Designed for multi-vehicle experience, proven for double-digit simultaneous connections, with minimal operators.
Intuitive User Interface: Streamlined and user-focused design for simplified mission planning, monitoring and analysis.
Cross-Domain Capability: Unified platform for managing diverse unmanned vessel platforms across different operational environments.
Comprehensive UXV Management: All-in-one suite covering vehicle configuration, mission planning, real-time multi-vehicle monitoring, communication management and post-mission analysis (PMA).
Enhanced Situation Awareness: Provides operators with a clear and consolidated view of mission-critical data, user role management and higher echelon data exchange.
Centralized Data Management: Facilitates efficient data storage, retrieval and rapid analysis for improved mission outcomes.
Field-Proven Reliability: Backed by more than 20 years of development and rigorous testing for robust, trusted performance.

Features

Web‑based architecture, Software‑as‑a‑Service (SaaS) architecture, deploy once and access UxVs from anywhere through a role‑based user authentication service.
Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) design based on Google’s “material design,” built with operators in-the-loop, while also providing visual theme configurations including a “night mode.”
Third-party open interface, allowing integrators and external user interfaces.
Extensible platforms API allow operators to redefine their existing vehicle features.
Supports REMUS UUV platforms, HII Odyssey-based USVs and UMAA-compliant vehicles and provides HII’s Odyssey SIM configuration and management.
Data management for secure storage and real-time or post-mission analysis.
Plug-and-play design compatible with customer or third-party sensors, payloads, algorithms and interfaces.
Odyssey™ Atlas Integration which provides a unified service to manage and view any number and type of nautical chart, tile or map over a single API. Able to view side-scan data, charting formats including ENC, RNC, DNC, GeoTiff, KAP, MBTILES and much more.
Adheres to open architecture standards, including Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA), Robot Operating System (ROS) and Data Distribution Service (DDS).
