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.
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).
