The 2020 Avante Challenge competition selected two winning teams to develop a technological solution for a set of problems proposed by the Chilean Navy, which include threats to the security, economy and environment of our country.
Acústica Marina obtained the first place with a vessel detection system using hydroacoustic technology with real-time data processing, in order to improve the quality of information and optimize the inspection operations of smaller vessels on the north coast of the country.
El Desafío Avante 2020 has the financial support of the Naval Polytechnic Academy through its INNOVAPOLINAV program, CORFO and the United States Office of Global Naval Research (ONR Global). ONR Global's contribution amounts to US $ 255,000 and considers the launch of a second H4D challenge to address some of the problems identified that could not be solved in the first edition.
