Hyperion Systems has entered into a new Memorandum of Understanding with Perth-based Greenroom Robotics. Together, we will begin integrating Greenroom’s GAMA maritime autonomy software onto our 3D-printed USV platforms for demonstration purposes, strengthening Western Australia’s leadership in autonomous maritime capability and advancing our pathway to rapidly deployable unmanned vessels.
Hyperion has already produced and trialled several pilot vessels to ensure a design suitable for future unmanned operational requirements. The new agreement provides a framework to test Greenroom’s GAMA (Greenroom Advanced Maritime Autonomy) solution on Hyperion’s 3D-printed hulls produced using its containerised large-format additive manufacturing systems, including the TitanCell 3D printing unit.
GAMA is a software solution designed to transform conventional vessels into Uncrewed Surface Vessels. Under the MOU, Hyperion remains responsible for vessel design, manufacture and deployment, while Greenroom supplies and supports the autonomy and perception stack for integration onto Hyperion’s platforms.
Individual Innovation from Western Australian Companies Impresses at National Level
The partnership follows Hyperion founder and CEO Joshua Wigley’s Young Innovator Award at the Innovation Pitchfest Awards, held during the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition. The recognition has strengthened Hyperion’s visibility in the maritime and defence sectors and highlights how containerised 3D printing can add value to emerging capability development.
This sentiment is echoed by Harry Hubbert, Chief Operating Officer of Greenroom Robotics:
“We’re inspired by how rapidly additive manufacturing is evolving, and what it could mean for the future landscape of uncrewed maritime capability. For Greenroom, it’s exciting to see innovative WA companies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in platform design, while we continue to advance the software that brings those platforms to life.”
Greenroom Robotics is recognised as Australia’s foremost maritime autonomy and AI software company and has been granted AUKUS authorised user status by the Australian Government. The company was recently awarded the 2025 Western Australia Innovator of the Year – Rio Tinto Growth Innovation Award for its GAMA platform, along with the WA Defence Minister’s Award for Excellence in Defence Industry (SME).
A Pathway to Rapid Autonomous Vessel Deployment
Through this MOU, Hyperion is exploring how containerised 3D printing and off-the-shelf autonomy software can support the rapid production and deployment of uncrewed vessels for logistics, surveillance and other maritime tasks — effectively creating a pathway toward highly scalable, self-operating maritime platforms.
Speaking to the future potential of a realised autonomous vessel, Hyperion CEO Joshua Wigley commented:
“These boats have the capacity to distribute payloads without needing to be physically manned.
So, if you need to send something, you don't have to wait for a crew to be available. You don't have to wait for the weather conditions to perfectly align — you just literally send it.
The potential cost savings are immense, and the personnel safety risk goes to the floor.”
