GMATEK, Inc to Present at Sea-Air-Space 2022
4-6 April 2022-
GMATEK, Inc. will give a presentation at the Navy Forum for SBIR/STTR Transition
(Navy SST) describing our work in the area of sensor degradation detection in unmanned
underwater and surface vehicles (UUV/USV). This will take place in National Harbor, Maryland
at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition that brings the U.S. defense industrial base,
private-sector U.S. companies and key military decision-makers from the sea services together
for this annual operated innovative, educational, professional event.
Research Vessel Refit
November 2021-
The GMATEK, Inc. marine research vessel is undergoing extensive renovation
including upgrades in electronics, sensor suite and communications equipment. It will also
support enhanced capabilities for remotely operated underwater and airborne vehicles.
The work carried out aboard helps to create an important knowledge base for deep-learning
artificial intelligence (AI) in the maritime environment. This is the second phase of vessel
refurbishment that began in 2020 to ensure that the vessel is operational until the 2030s,
expanding its potential in research use as a testbed for surface and underwater autonomous
vessel system technology and for investigating meteorological, oceanographic and
electromagnetic phenomena.
GMATEK Inc. Selected for Sensor Degradation Research by U.S. Navy
26 May 2020-
The US Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Program Executive Office –
Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO-USC) has selected GMATEK Inc. to perform research
and development for multi-sensor fusion and analytics to detect, mitigate and compensate
for sensor degradation in unmanned surface and undersea vehicles (USV/UUV).The goal of this
research is advancement of machine learning and deep-learning artificial intelligence technology to
ensure remotely operated and autonomous vehicles can operate reliably under adverse conditions
with increasing degrees of failure in sensor components and systems. This work is being performed
at their facilities in Annapolis, Maryland. Participating as a subcontractor is FarSounder Inc.
of Warwick, Rhode Island who are using their knowledge and experience in sonar and related
systems to supplement GMATEK’s development efforts.

28 March 2020-
A new book authored by Dr. R. Glenn Wright, President of GMATEK Inc., has
been published by Taylor & Francis Group (Oxford, UK) under their Routledge imprint on the
subject of unmanned and autonomous ships. Detailes are provided in the Announcements page.
GMATEK Inc. Joins WesTest Engineering in R&D on Test System Capability
1 October 2019-
The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Naval Air Warfare Center
(NAWC) in Lakehurst, New Jersey has selected WesTest Engineering of Layton, Utah and their
subcontractor GMATEK Inc. to perform research and development related to capability assessment for automatic test equipment (ATE) used by all branches of the Department of
Defense as well as commercial application. GMATEK Inc. is performing this work at their facilities in Annapolis, Maryland. GMATEK Inc. is developing sensor analytics using machine learning and deep learning artificial intelligence to examine signal characteristics as part of this assessment. Development of commercial hardware and software products and tools is anticipated to result from this research.
