Digitalisation and automation of maritime technologies is one of the main research areas of the Maritime Academy of Yessenov University. The work covers navigation data processing, advanced ship control systems and the protection of port infrastructure.
- Radar data processing: Zh. Zhumayev studied the regularities of relative ship motion and radar data processing methods (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 2023).
- Uncrewed navigation: Zh. Zhumayev developed an algorithm for converting quaternions to solve uncrewed navigation problems (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, 2025).
- Port cyber security: A. U. Tabylov proposed a funding model for cyber security facilities of a port information system with incomplete information about attackers (Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology, 2018).
Future deck officers and marine engineers practise digital skills on the Polaris K-Sim Navigation and K-Sim Engine Full Mission simulator complexes.
