lightweight two-way communication and daily improvements—privacy-preserved, bandwidth-thrifty, reliability first.

4) Multimodal Sensing & LSTM Reasoning (predictive range with context) Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells keep the right memories and forget noise. A real- time stream of 3-axis accelerometer, GPS SOG, motor power, and RPM yields sea state, hull dynamics, and early signs of developing issues. The model recommends RPM adjustments that increase range when conservation matters. Trials confirm the well-known “hockey-stick” truth: 4 × speed requires ~16 × power. RANGE Master translates that physics into simple guidance: “drop to N RPM for +X nm.” 5) Acoustic Intelligence (maintenance you can hear—with a mic) A discreet microphone learns the motor’s acoustic signature. The system flags bearing wear, incipient cavitation, and RPM sweet spots long before a human ear would. Maintenance becomes proactive, not reactive—protecting both efficiency and uptime. 6) Conversational Interface (plain-language answers, not dashboards) Interact by SMS or onboard text: • User: “How far can I go today?” RANGE Master: “At 85% and today’s headwinds, estimated range is 47.3 nm; headwinds reduce by 3.2 nm.” • User: “What’s that noise at mid-range RPM?” RANGE Master: “Slight cavitation at ~2750 RPM; pattern suggests minor prop damage; ~7% efficiency impact.” This isn’t scripted chatbot gloss. It’s the output of multiple cooperating neural models— explained, not obscured.

The conversation that really matters • User: “Why is my range lower today?”

• RANGE Master: “Drag is 12% higher than last week. Motor acoustics normal. Accelerometer patterns indicate moderate biofouling. Clean within 10 days to maintain efficiency.” Clarity, causality, and a timetable—so the skipper can act with confidence.
