Manual, Remote, or Fully Autonomous Operation
Maritronix systems enable vessels to operate in multiple modes: conventional manual control from the helm, fully autonomous navigation, or remote control from a command center. Remote operation can be implemented using secure wireless communication links such as telemetry radios, GSM/LTE networks, or satellite connectivity including Starlink.
For enhanced situational awareness, optional sensor integration—such as thermal vision cameras—provides operators with reliable visibility during night operations and low-visibility conditions.
Manual handling remains unchanged at all times—autonomy is an added capability, not a replacement for traditional vessel control.
Autonomy Gateway – Control &Monitoring Layer
Maritronix gateways provide a robust CANbus-based interface between autonomous control systems and real marine propulsion and steering equipment. They enable control of engines, thrusters, and rudder systems while simultaneously monitoring engine parameters and actuator states such as rudder position and thruster status. Designed for autonomous system developers and marine integrators, the platform delivers a reliable, documented, and integration-ready control architecture.
Remote Command &Monitoring
Maritronix systems enable real-time supervision and control of vessels from a remote command center. Operators can monitor vessel status, navigation data, and onboard systems while maintaining full situational awareness through integrated sensor and video feeds.
Secure communication links — including telemetry, cellular networks, and satellite connectivity — ensure reliable remote operation over long distances. Human oversight remains available at all times, allowing operators to intervene, guide missions, or assume direct control when required.
Complete Autonomous Vessel Solutions
In cooperation with Gliseris Aluminium Boats, Maritronix offers complete vessels with factory-integrated autonomous and remote control systems. We support production-ready builds, small series manufacturing, and custom modernization projects tailored for mission-specific applications. From workboats to survey platforms and water drones (USV), we can deliver fully integrated autonomous marine solutions ready for deployment.
Discreet Integration with Full Manual Authority
Gateway units are compact and engineered for installation within the helm console or protected technical compartments. Autonomous capability is added without visible external modifications or structural changes to the vessel. The helm remains fully functional and familiar to the operator. At any time, the vessel can be controlled manually, switched to autonomous mode, or operated remotely—without compromising safety or operator authority.
Applications of Autonomous Marine Systems
Security & Patrol Operations
Autonomous and remotely operated vessels enhance maritime surveillance capabilities for government and security organizations, including coast guard, border protection, and customs agencies. Advanced situational awareness technologies — such as thermal imaging and sensor integration — support reliable monitoring in security-critical environments.
From piracy and illegal trafficking to coastal protection and maritime safety, maintaining control of the maritime domain is essential for national security, economic stability, and environmental protection. Autonomous marine systems enable authorities to monitor and protect coastal areas effectively, even under demanding operational conditions.
Security & Patrol Operations
Autonomous and remotely operated vessels enhance safety during search and rescue missions by allowing rapid deployment without placing crew at risk.
Integration of thermal imaging and advanced awareness systems supports detection of persons in the water and reliable operation in low-visibility and night conditions.
Autonomous & Unmanned Vessel Platforms
Maritronix systems provide the control backbone for unmanned and optionally crewed vessels.
From propulsion and steering control to monitoring and remote command capability, our technology enables safe and reliable autonomous marine operation.
