Advanced AI-powered Solution for Fully Autonomous Vessel Control
GuardianAI™ Autonomy is a state-of-the-art modular autonomous vessel control system capable of delivering IMO Level 4+ maritime autonomy. Integrating easily with sensors and systems fitted to any vessel, this intuitive technology enables full autonomy, remote control and enhanced crewed operations. Utilising AI-powered decision-making Guardian Autonomy provides high-fidelity situational awareness with tactical path routing and dynamic vessel control, ensuring safe, efficient, and COLREG-compliant maritime navigation.
How Guardian Autonomy Powers Autonomous Navigation
AI-Driven Autonomy for Maritime Operations
Guardian Autonomy is the core of the Guardian AI suite. Essentially the ‘Autonomous Master’ it processes real-time environmental, navigational, and operational data, combined with vessel and sensor health information, to create optimised, strategic and tactical navigation paths and safely control the vessel. Thus, allowing full autonomous control, remote command, or providing intelligent dynamic decision making support to traditional crewed operations, with or without auto-pilot control, depending on operational requirements.
- Mission Manager (MM) – Executes mission/navigation plans while dynamically responding to situational awareness data from Guardian Sense, system/vessel health status and inputs from third-party mission or payload systems.
- Tactical Planner (TP) – Uses real-time sensor data to adjust routes, ensuring safe COLREG-compliant path planning.
- Strategic Planner Interface (SPI) – Generates fuel-efficient, weather-adaptive routes using external and internal data inputs.
- Dynamic Controller (DC) – Controls vessel propulsion, thrusters, and actuators for full autonomous operation.
- Guardian Inspect UI Suite – A web-based control interface for remote vessel management, mission planning, and real-time monitoring.
The Guardian Autonomy Advantage
✅ Fully Autonomous Navigation – AI-powered vessel control with dynamic & adaptive mission planning for crewed and uncrewed vessels.
✅ Integrated Situational Awareness – Fuses data from radar, sonar, AIS, LiDAR, EO/IR cameras, and more.
✅ Intelligent Route Planning – Generates real-time, COLREG-compliant tactical and strategic navigation paths.
✅ Conditional Control – Enables reactive control of crewed vessels for collision avoidance.
✅ Seamless Remote Operation – Allows operators to monitor and adjust vessel movement from anywhere.
✅ Failsafe System Response – Automated safety manoeuvres based on system health monitoring.
The Future of AI-Driven Maritime Autonomy
Guardian Autonomy is designed for commercial, defence, and research applications, supporting fully autonomous and hybrid-controlled vessels. Whether navigating complex shipping lanes, offshore environments, or remote mission zones, Guardian Autonomy ensures maximum safety, efficiency, and compliance.
