GAMA is an advanced maritime autonomy software package designed to convert any existing or new-built vessel into an uncrewed or autonomous surface vessel (USV/ASV). This Australian-developed sovereign solution is compatible with a wide range of sensors, including optical, IR, radar, LiDAR, sonar, AIS, and more, as well as WiFi, cellular, or satellite communications.
Utilising remote command and control systems and a compact vessel control unit (VCU) module, GAMA seamlessly integrates sensor data, video streams, and mission planning features, and runs on any device. The software provides fully COLREGS-compliant autonomy and collision avoidance and can also control onboard equipment such as sonars, cranes, and winches.
One Size Fits All Autonomy
As a hardware-agnostic solution, GAMA seamlessly integrates with any vessel, new or existing, regardless of type or size—no complex retrofitting, no downtime, just smooth, efficient autonomy.
- Sophisticated statistical collision avoidance system capable of prioritising and managing simultaneous hazards
- Advanced data fusion from Optical, IR, RADAR, LIDAR, Sonar, and AIS for superior collision avoidance
- Compatible with Satellite/Starlink, 4G, 5G, long range WiFi and encrypted RF communication systems.
- Navy compatible through DDS
- Compatible with NMEA 2000, CAN and more
- Designed to meet the highest safety and class certification standards
Plug and Play: Upgrade current deployed assets with autonomous capabilities without significant downtime or vessel modifications.
Safer Operations: GAMA reduces the chance of human error at sea with intelligent remote and autonomous decision-making ensuring safer operations in all maritime sectors.
Future Proof: Modular framework to ensure maritime superiority by integrating the latest developments in RASAI.
Enhanced Capability: Automate routine and monotonous tasks to allow human operators to concentrate on critical and time-sensitive decisions.
Reduce Operational Costs: Lowered operating costs through flexible crewing options and increased efficiency with automated and digitised processes.
Boost Environmental Performance: GAMA optimises vessel performance to reduce the carbon footprint through fuel efficiency and emission minimisation, enhancing environmental responsibility to support sustainability goals.
GAMA was recently used onboard the Sentinel to create Australia’s largest autonomous vessel as part of the Patrol Boat Autonomy Trial (PBAT).
