We're proud to share some key highlights from the recent four-day Endurance Trial, marking a significant milestone in the Patrol Boat Autonomy Trial (PBAT). From April 16th to 19th, the decommissioned Armidale-class Patrol Boat 'Sentinel' navigated autonomously from Cape Naturaliste to Geraldton and back, covering over 1,300 kilometers. Equipped with our maritime autonomy software, GAMA, the Sentinel demonstrated faultless autonomous capabilities, handling all navigation tasks and executing close to 150 autonomous avoidance maneuvers, ensuring a safe and efficient journey. Our collaboration with Austal Australia, Trusted Autonomous Systems, and crew from INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SERVICES showcased how integrating specialised SME expertise with proven platforms can achieve extraordinary capabilities rapidly. This project has shown that the technology is ready to provide immediate benefits to vessel operators and capability managers. By reducing crewing requirements and enhancing operational efficiency, we're enabling the maritime industry to do more with less. Special thanks to our dedicated PBAT team and partners who made this achievement possible. The success of this trial underscores the future of optionally crewed vessels for the Royal Australian Navy and the wider maritime industry. #greenroomrobotics #austalaustralia #trustedautonomoussystems #ausnavy #patrolboat #autonomy #patrolboatautonomytrial #PBAT
In the lead up to the Indian Ocean Defence & Security (IODS) Conference (IODS) in Perth, Western Australia the Patrol Boat Autonomy Trial #team is pleased to release a new video that highlights the success of the four-day endurance trial, completed in April 2024. Austal Australia, Greenroom Robotics and Trusted Autonomous Systems, together with the crew from International Maritime Services completed a series of tests on remote and autonomous operations, over an extended period of time on ‘Sentinel’, a decommissioned Armidale-class Patrol Boat, off the coast of Western Australia. Designed to test the reliability of, and build trust in the vessel’s autonomous systems, the endurance trial included a number of collision avoidance events that demonstrated the capabilities of the platform and navigation programs that may help deliver optionally crewed vessels for the Royal Australian Navy in the future.
