CUwPS: An integrated system for the detection, localization, and classification of underwater threats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian Underwater Protection System (CUwPS) is an integrated system that provides means to detect, localize, classify, and then warn underwater threats, with the purpose of preventing attacks on vessels berthed at anchor or alongside. The primary sensors of the system are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and are integrated into a workable set of equipment and concepts with specific adaptations to military platforms. CUwPS utilizes an area detection sensor which can detect and track underwater targets, in an area where protection is desired. In order to further scrutinize contacts and tracks deemed to be potential threats, Response Boats-small, fast and agile crafts-are dispatched and responsible for identification using a high resolution imaging type sonar. If a target is classified as a threat, underwater loudhailers can be used to transmit warnings and messages. Software was written to integrate the data from all the individual sensors of the CUwPS. This paper details the components of the CUwPS, explains its concept of operations, and details the fourth and final build trial, in which the system was used in Port Guard, a Canadian Forces exercise. CUwPS was tasked to protect assets berthed alongside a jetty at Canadian Forces Base Halifax, home port to the Canadian Atlantic Fleet. Throughout the course of the exercise, military divers simulated threats attempting to penetrate undetected into a protected area.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
