Turnkey Solutions for
Unmanned Vessel Control

Progressive Marine Algorithm provides turnkey solutions for autonomous and remotely operated surface vessel control systems — covering navigation control, collision avoidance, simulation, and electronic chart distribution.

Our products are designed to work with real onboard hardware and tested using Hardware-in-the-Loop methodology. We provide technical documentation and regulatory support for type approval under IMO, IHO, and classification society requirements.

We work with vessel operators, shipyards, maritime academies, and equipment manufacturers across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Our Products

01 / Autonomous Navigation

Aasyn Core

Adaptive Autonomous Navigation & Control System

Navigation and control software for unmanned surface vessels. Runs on the vessel's onboard computer and connects to a shore-based operator workstation. Handles route execution, obstacle avoidance, and propulsion control in both automatic and manual modes.

  • Automatic and manual modes with adaptive gain autopilot and CPA/TCPA collision avoidance
  • Universal platform — configurable for any USV hull, propulsion type and sensor suite
  • Encrypted onboard–shore data link with failsafe autonomous behaviour on comms loss
  • Multi-sensor fusion: radar, AIS, GNSS, lidar, camera

HIL Test Bench

Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Platform

A test bench where real vessel hardware — onboard computer, steering controller, engine management unit — connects to a simulated maritime environment. Sensor inputs (radar, GPS, AIS, camera) are generated in software. Allows systematic testing of navigation algorithms and fault responses without sea trials.

  • Real hardware connected to simulated radar, AIS, GNSS, camera and comms signals
  • Scenario engine: adverse weather, GPS spoofing, sensor failures, cyberattack simulation
  • Reduces development cost 20–30% versus traditional sea trial approach
  • Audit-ready test logs accepted by DNV, Lloyd's Register and other class bodies

03 / Digital Data Management

Digital Data Delivery

Vessel Digital Data Distribution for IMO Compliance

Software platform for centralised delivery of all vessel digital data required for regulatory compliance — AVCS electronic navigational charts, digital publications, nautical documents, and operational records. Manages licences, tracks permit expiry, and pushes delta updates to onboard systems. Ensures vessels meet IMO, SOLAS, and flag state requirements for digital record-keeping and chart carriage.

  • Centralised delivery of AVCS charts, digital publications, and compliance documents to onboard systems
  • Delta update management — only changed cells transmitted, minimising bandwidth
  • Licence tracking, permit administration, and expiry filtering across fleet
  • IMO, SOLAS, and flag state compliant · IHO S-57 / S-63 data formats
  • S-100 ready — architecture designed for next-generation IHO S-100 data framework migration

Technology

Why Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Sea trials are expensive, slow to schedule, and unsuitable for testing failure modes. HIL testing connects real hardware to a simulated environment, letting engineers run the same scenario hundreds of times and deliberately inject faults in a controlled setting. Test reports generated on the bench are accepted by DNV, Lloyd's Register, and other classification societies.

01
Algorithm Testing

Real onboard hardware receives simulated sensor signals. Collision-avoidance decisions are measured against COLREG rules across thousands of edge cases impossible to replicate at sea.

02
Mechatronic Validation

Real steering controllers and engine management units connect to the bench. CAN bus errors, timing mismatches, and integration bugs are caught where fixes cost 100× less.

03
Fault Injection

The bench injects failures: gyrocompass dropout, lidar blackout, GPS spoofing, severed shore link. Degraded-mode handling and failover logic verified before deployment.

04
Classification Reports

DNV, Lloyd's Register, and other class bodies require HIL test evidence before granting autonomous vessel permits. Our bench generates structured, audit-ready reports.

05
Parallel Development

Software teams test navigation algorithms while hardware teams validate sensors — and the vessel may not yet be built. HIL compresses the development timeline.
