Intelligent Marine Technology
What we do
Dynautics’ vision is to open up the marine world through intelligent technology. As co-authors of the Marine Autonomous Surface Ships – UK Code of Practice, we are actively helping to define the route towards marine vehicle autonomy.
Our mission is enabling the success of your mission. Thousands of miles have been successfully navigated using our vehicle management technologies. We thrive on enabling your mission’s success and delivering strong commercial results.
Intelligent, reliable marine technology keeps you in control. Your requirements are our starting point and together we rigorously drive for a rapid and reliable solutions.
Dynautics hardware can be installed or retrofitted in any unmanned or autonomous vessel. We simulate, design, test, verify and deploy, enabling you to accomplish your mission safely and responsibly.

Helping you deliver
Peace of mind
Keeping you in control of your mission.
We are a trusted technology partner to customers from a wide range of maritime sectors, including offshore energy and mining, oceanography, marine transport and defence and security. At the heart of our proven approach is trust in the power of logic, precision and scientific integrity to deliver commercial results.
From the outset we strive to understand your payload and data requirements. This enables us to offer the best technology to suit your needs and keep you in control of your vessel. We offer standard or customisable electronic modules, based on proven technologies, which reduce time to launch and ensure maximum reliability.
Choice & adaptability
Simulation > Design > Test > Verification.
At the start of the vehicle design process, our Ship Sim or AUV Sim products can help determine the most effective hull design and propulsion types, positions and characteristics. These simulators are the result of years of rigorous scientific development and are proven tools in reducing the time to mission acceptance.
We develop a test environment based on your mission parameters, allowing us to design simulation tools that save time and cost leading up to on-water or sea trials. After Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, sea trials are the verification and final validation of what has already been successfully tested in the lab.
Integration & ownership
Installations, modifications and retrofitting.
Dynautics hardware can be installed or retrofitted in any uncrewed or autonomous vessel. Custom electronics and system engineering are undertaken by our experienced PCB designers and electronic engineers. Rapid prototyping and inhouse firmware coding on development systems allow us to accelerate time to test and validation. We also make use of proprietary firmware libraries to minimise development time.
We commission the vehicle, leveraging our on-water experience to verify performance against an established test plan. Ongoing, we remotely monitor characteristics and modify variables, such as power consumption, to fine tune and meet your requirements.
Speed & efficiency
Rapid deployment for faster results.
Time to launch and time to mission acceptance trials are always crucial mission parameters. With this in mind, we work with you to ensure you achieve your mission goals. Every mission, and therefore every vehicle, is potentially different, so we are focused on understanding your overall objectives and ensuring that our systems deliver.
Our capabilities are built on 20 years’ experience of scientific and engineering rigour in vehicle control algorithm development and associated electronics. Our technical leadership is supported through simulation tools and technical authorship of marine autopilot heading and track control standards (IEC62065).
