Austal and Greenroom Deliver Rapid AI Integration
Greenroom's GAMA and Lookout+ AI integrate with Austal's MARINELINK Prime via existing cameras, enabling autonomous surface vessels with reliable, safe navigation and collision avoidance.

Austal Australia and Greenroom Robotics have announced that, following extensive trials and successful testing, future Austal Vessels have the option to include Greenroom’s GAMA and Lookout+ technology to transform them into fully autonomous vessels.
Significantly, this unique collaboration aims to achieve rapid autonomy and AI integration, creating intelligent maritime systems in as little as five days, while competitor solutions on the market take weeks or months. This is a major milestone in their Strategic Partnership Agreement (signed in September 2024), which brings together Australia’s strategic shipbuilder and leading maritime autonomy company, to redefine the future of shipbuilding.
Austal has been working with Greenroom Robotics since 2023, with Austal providing a mentoring role as Greenroom scales up and grows globally. Both companies are headquartered in Western Australia. Greenroom has 32 employees, Austal has 4,479.
Greenroom Robotics’ GAMA and Lookout+ technologies turn any boat into an autonomous surface vessel using vision-based AI through the boat’s existing cameras and CCTV systems. These technologies will work seamlessly with Austal’s proven platform management system, MARINELINK Prime, to offer reliable and safe navigation of vessels, including collision avoidance.
During the Royal Australian Navy’s Patrol Boat Autonomy Trial (PBAT), the integrated software successfully executed 148 autonomous collision avoidance manoeuvres over a 705-nautical-mile trial. This formed a strong foundation for autonomy integration opportunities across Austal vessels.
