Omatha

Omatha Multi-mission Teaming

Revolutionising mission control in the age of autonomy

The future of maritime operations is increasingly autonomous, distributed, and data‑driven. As affordable autonomous platforms enter service at scale, organisations face a growing challenge: operator cognitive overload. The limitation is no longer in acquiring the platforms themselves but in achieving mission control systems that are scalable, reliable, and capable of maintaining safety while enhancing operational effectiveness. In contested environments especially, reducing reliance on crewed assets is becoming essential. Omatha® directly addresses this shift. Designed as a sovereign, next‑generation mission management algorithm, it enables a single operator to control multiple autonomous platforms across different domains. Through intelligent automation and advanced decision support, Omatha® transforms mission execution in complex maritime and multi-domain environments.

Why Omatha?

Omatha® offers a level of scalable control that allows one operator to manage swarms of heterogeneous autonomous platforms at once, ensuring efficient coordination across missions. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of operational scenarios, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), mine countermeasures (MCM), force protection, and search and rescue (SAR). By reducing dependency on crewed vessels in contested or hazardous waters, it significantly lowers operational risk. Omatha® also harnesses AI‑enabled automation to streamline mission planning, resource allocation, and real‑time decision‑making, enabling organisations to respond faster and more effectively to emerging situations.

At its foundation, Omatha® delivers platform‑agnostic mission control, providing sovereign software that supports every phase of the mission lifecycle; planning, deployment, and command. Its architecture enables seamless integration across uncrewed maritime systems and multi‑vendor platforms, ensuring compatibility and interoperability without the need for bespoke interfaces. The system also offers strong operational flexibility, allowing organisations to rapidly deploy it across a variety of mission types while supporting multi-domain teaming that includes maritime, aerial, and land-based autonomous assets.

Omatha® incorporates sophisticated resource optimisation, using advanced algorithms to manage control authority, prioritise tasks, and allocate mission resources in real time. This capability is specifically engineered to perform in complex, contested, and bandwidth‑constrained environments where traditional systems often fail. By acting as a force multiplier, Omatha® provides predictive decision support that significantly increases the effective human‑to‑robot ratio. In practice, this reduces systemic error, boosts mission success rates, and ensures operators can maintain situational awareness even when managing large numbers of autonomous assets.

From Research to Real World

Omatha® is currently being advanced through the Australian Economic Accelerator (AEA) Innovate Program. A live demonstration is underway that integrates two Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) and one Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) into a coordinated Robotic Autonomous System (RAS) team. This demonstration highlights Omatha®’s real‑world capabilities and shows how the system performs under authentic operational conditions, paving the way for deployment in defence, maritime safety, emergency response, and civil applications.

More than an algorithm, Omatha® represents a sovereign capability that redefines what is possible in autonomous and semi‑autonomous operations. For organisations operating in defence, maritime security, disaster response, or any domain requiring scalable control of uncrewed systems, Omatha® offers the intelligent mission management and decision‑making capabilities essential for next‑generation operations. It empowers operators, enhances mission assurance, and unlocks the full potential of autonomous systems.
