AUTONOMAST™

AUTONOMAST™

Back to Unmanned Solutions

The AUTONOMAST is an all-in-one modular system designed to convert a manned vessel into an unmanned surface vessel (USV) for autonomous missions.

It integrates various mission controls and payloads for a wide range of applications to support defence and public safety and security operations, allowing vessels to manoeuvre autonomously, intelligently and safely at seas.

The AUTONOMAST can be tailored for different vessel types and sizes.

Key features

  • Safe autonomous navigation with multiple perception sensors, including data-fused medium-range radar and 360 degree panoramic vision for all-round situational awareness.
  • Prevents collision by avoiding surface obstacles with the Collision Detection Collision Avoidance function that abides by the rules of the road at sea (Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea COLRGEGS). Since 2008, our USVs have been well tested to operate in the congested waters and high traffic density of the Singapore Straits.
  • End-to-end cybersecurity applications enable the Operator Control Station to communicate with the USV via a secured data link through mesh Wi-Fi, LTE and satellite communications. 
  • The operator can use a Portable Remote Control Unit or activate the autonomous berthing function to slip-off or berth the USV at the pier.

AUTONOMAST – Charting A Safe Course Toward Autonomy

The current geopolitical landscape has facilitated the growing integration of USVs into the fleets of navies and maritime authorities globally.

By converting crewed vessels into USVs, the AUTONOMAST supports these entities in executing a wide range of missions and serves as an effective pathway for integrating unmanned systems within fleets.
