Uncrewed survey & patrol solutions
EGS AUTONOMY
Uncrewed Survey Vessels
Designed, built and operated in Fremantle. From mapping the seafloor to persistent maritime patrol, our fleet delivers versatile capability in both remote and crewed configurations.
The EGS Autonomy fleet
Two classes, one unified fleet
Each class is designed to excel in its intended operating environment. A shared autonomy suite and common deck equipment architecture ensure that payloads, LARS, and mission capabilities can be deployed interchangeably across both platforms, maximising flexibility and operational efficiency.
Who we are
A fleet designed, built and operated by survey experts
EGS Autonomy designs, builds and operates uncrewed survey vessels from Fremantle, Western Australia. In a global market where no uncrewed survey vessel met our operational requirements we designed, built and now operate our own. Created by surveyors, for surveyors. These same platforms are now available for sale or charter.
Why EGS Autonomy?
Proven in service
Our USVs are underpinned by fifty years of survey experience and have been successfully deployed on the AHO's HIPP campaigns, cable routes and port surveys.
Optionally uncrewed
Certified for uncrewed operation up to 200 NM offshore, with crew able to work aboard for port transits and shallow-water tasks. One platform covers both inshore and offshore scopes.
A complementary fleet
Fremantle-class for crewed, inshore and complex work; the Ningaloo-class purpose-built for uncrewed endurance; 20 m variants for greater range, payload and station-keeping.
Australian designed & built
Created and supported by skilled WA contractors, all located within 10 km of our Fremantle office with expert knowledge of every wire, weld and waypoint.
A genuine force multiplier
Two or more USVs from shared shore support and a single Remote Operations Centre enable near-continuous coverage, redundancy, and consistent personnel numbers.
Sale, charter, or survey
Acquire a vessel, charter one for a campaign, or engage EGS Autonomy to deliver the survey itself.
