Abstract: A sensing unit for an autonomous onboard monitoring and communications system for watercraft. The sensing unit can include at least one sensor for sensing a condition, and a control unit configured to receive input from the at least one sensor, determine a condition value based on the input, compare the condition value to at least one condition value range, and execute an action if the condition value is outside the at least one condition value range.

Abstract: In at least one exemplary embodiment, an autonomous onboard monitoring and communications system for watercraft is disclosed. The autonomous onboard monitoring and communications system may include a processor, at least one system console, a plurality of sensors configured to monitor operating and environmental conditions aboard the watercraft, a system application including a plurality of software logic service modules configured to facilitate communication between the plurality of sensors and the system console, an analytic engine configured to analyze data so as to determine the existence of an event, and a plurality of communications interfaces for directly communicating with remote targeted recipients.
