Autonomous Solutions

You don't need a new fleet to field autonomy.

SAMS is the SimIS AI mission package for autonomous surface vessels, installing perception, navigation, and command and control onto platforms you already own.

SimIS Autonomous Maritime System

SimIS developed SAMS to meet the United States Navy's strategic planning and fleet objectives: an AI-based software and networking capability that installs on Autonomous Surface Vessel platforms you already operate, integrating reconnaissance, interdiction, and threat monitoring into a single system instead of three separate ones. SAMS-enabled vessels reduce operator loading and communication overhead, deploy and retrieve devices, and engage at minimal risk to US and Coalition forces, whether patrolling a port or standing watch at the regional level.

See SAMS in Action

The same mission package running on the same class of vessel a crew already operates, now handling reconnaissance, interdiction, and threat monitoring as one coordinated system instead of three bolted-together tools.

This is SAMS installed and running, not a rendering of what it could do.

What SAMS Provides

SAMS isn't a black box. Every sensor feed it fuses is something an operator can see and check, not a hidden decision an operator has to trust blind.

Temperature monitoring for every battery, motor, and servo, so a failing component shows up before it becomes a lost mission

Exact motor output and servo rotational position tracked continuously, not just estimated after the fact

Object detection from both LIDAR and camera, composited into a single picture instead of two separate feeds an operator has to reconcile

Up-to-date GPS positional data, including object location relative to the vessel, not just the vessel's own position

Most Autonomy Software Watches the Water. SAMS Also Watches the Vessel.

Collision avoidance and route planning get most of the attention in this market, and SAMS does both. But a vessel that navigates perfectly and burns out a servo three miles from shore still fails the mission. SAMS tracks battery, motor, and servo temperature and exact output down to the component, so a failure shows up as a warning, not a lost asset.

Built by a Team the Navy Already Trusts

Autonomy software is easy to promise and hard to prove. SAMS comes out of a shop with a Top Secret facility clearance, a CMMI Maturity Level 3 appraisal, and 19+ years of DoD past performance, the same team behind the rest of our Autonomous Solutions practice, not a startup betting its first contract on it.

SAMS is one of several platforms in our Autonomous Solutions practice.

Full specifications and integration details are in the brochure below, built for program offices evaluating which ASV platforms SAMS installs on.
