Driven by curiosity and the endless possibilities

71% of the world’s surface is covered by water yet only 20% of our oceans, lakes and waterways have been accurately mapped to date. We know more about space than we do earth’s magnificent underwater environments. At UAM Tec we aim to reveal and make accessible, that which has previously been concealed.

Our goal is to provide multi-modular Advanced AUVs and commercial diving camera systems that will meet the needs of any underwater operation. UAM Tec products are engineered for longevity and capable of being customised to each of your tasks as they arise.

UAMTEC Mission Team

The team to take you there

UAM Tec is supported by a management team consisting of Director & Founder Shawn Taylor and Director & Investor Benjamin Fleming. Both are dedicated to the continued development of the Model H10 AUV and subsea camera products. To make their underwater exploration aspirations possible, leading engineers, oceanographers and AI specialists spent thousands of hours testing and iterating to successfully launch in October 2019 at CEBIT.

UAMTEC Facility

Transforming the vision into a reality

Based in Port Melbourne, UAM Tec has a complete facility for the design, fabrication and testing of Advanced AUVs including an above-ground pool which is suitable for preliminary testing of vehicles prior to sea trials. We develop and manufacture all the important components of our hardware and software in-house. Our know-how covers a broad range of disciplines from the creation and assembly of our electronic hardware and camera products, through to the mechanical design of the AUVs and accompanying software to enable subsea operations.

Sign up for updates

UAM Tec has much more to show you as our AUV deployment program and mapping schedule accelerates. Follow the ways in which the AUVs will be used. Journey with us as we map and explore our planet’s waters.
