Navigating Regulatory Frameworks
The development and use of autonomous systems is growing, but regulatory frameworks are hard to navigate and can stifle innovation.
RAS-Gateway is a world-first service offering by Trusted Autonomous Systems tackling this challenge and driving change. It provides easy access to resources and tools to support the autonomous systems ecosystem to better navigate regulatory frameworks, creating greater certainty and lowering business risk.
RAS-Gateway is a digital hub providing access to resources and tools to support the Australian autonomous systems ecosystem to navigate regulatory frameworks with greater certainty and efficiency.

Resource Hub
Clear general information on regulatory requirements and processes for the maritime, land, and air domains, and other resources relating to current and future regulatory states.
COLREGs Operator Guidance Framework
Autonomous and remotely operated vessels face unique challenges when it comes to complying with maritime regulations; for instance, they must comply with COLREGs, the “rules of the road” for preventing collisions at sea.
To find out more about the COLREGs challenge, and the COLREGs Operator Guidance Framework that TAS, collaborating with Frazer-Nash Consultancy (a KBR company), have developed, watch this short video.
Our Tools
Test Ranges
Testing and trialling are crucial parts of the development process, and also enable the gathering of data to support the certification process. Australia hosts world-class test ranges for maritime and land autonomous systems.
REEFWORKS
ReefWorks is a secure marine technology test and evaluation facility open to industry, government and academic innovators.
MILTECS
MILTECS provides the ideal location to test, trial and evaluate uncrewed ground and uncrewed aerial systems and payloads in a safe, managed environment.
AMS-TEC
AMS-TEC at the University of Tasmania provides comprehensive maritime autonomous systems testing capabilities.
Testimonials
“RAS-Gateway is a great resource for ARM Hub to help our partners in the agriculture, materials handling and military sectors navigate the complex regulations to implement autonomous systems.”
“One of the biggest challenges for an emerging industry developing and operating autonomous systems is regulatory risk. RAS-Gateway is a valuable tool for industry and government providing clear guidance and resources relating to regulatory requirements for the use of autonomous systems in air, land and sea domains. Congratulations to TAS and the Queensland Government for developing this amazing resource.”
“RAS-Gateway unravels the complexity of understanding the test and evaluation needs and pathways for autonomous systems within the Australian regulation process through simple-to-use tools underpinned by an extensive knowledge base. This helps users navigate today’s regulatory process.”
