A new pioneering collaboration between Landau Marine and Robosys enables AI-driven full stack maritime autonomy for new-build, retrofit vessels and naval craft for naval operations.
UK-headquartered Landau Marine supplies installation, integration, and maintenance services for numerous defence clients including NavyX, the Royal Navy’s Autonomy & Lethality Accelerator. Landau’s capabilities encompass all aspects of technology integration linked to vessel design and construction, with a particular focus on zero emission technology and decarbonisation initiatives.
Robosys’ Voyager AI software enables crewed, lean crewed, optionally unmanned, and fully unmanned vessel operations at the switch of a button. It delivers efficient Remote Control and reasoned Autonomous operations from a remote operations centre (ROC) or ground control station (GCS), either ashore or afloat from a mothership.
Suited for surveillance, surveying, warfare, and patrolling duties, Voyager AI is vessel, propulsion, and sensor systems agnostic. The new collaboration enables customers to swiftly convert their vessels to fully autonomous and/or lean-crewed operations.
Roger Cerrato, Sales Director at Landau commented, “Landau helps customers install and best utilise new technologies such as Robosys Automation’s Voyager AI suite. This new partnership with Robosys reflects the Landau ethos, being to provide innovative installation and integration solutions that are beneficial to our customers, our business, and our world, in efficiency, economic, and environmental terms."
Cerrato continues, “We are dedicated to supporting our commercial and defence customer base in their requirements for more innovative and effective solutions, such as retrofitting a crewed vessel to become an autonomous craft at speeds of up to 45 knots, delivering many benefits including helping to drive the net zero agenda.”
Nigel Lee, CSO of Robosys Automation comments, “We are delighted to be working with Landau Marine. This partnership will provide an end-to-end solution for all customers looking to integrate Voyager AI to a new build or as a retrofit to an existing workboat or craft, as Landau’s facilities and team are second to none.”
