01 / What we do

Specialized Autonomy for Demanding Maritime Operations

We’re dedicated to supporting U.S. federal agencies with world-class ocean robotics engineered for mission-critical performance. Our core service areas are rooted in the Wave Glider’s unique capabilities and our experience delivering rugged, unattended solutions for the most challenging maritime environments.

Persistent Ocean Monitoring

Our autonomous platforms are designed for continuous, long-term ocean monitoring, delivering essential data for situational awareness, naval exercises, and environmental assessments. Powered by waves and sunlight, the Wave Glider operates independently for months, gathering critical information in remote or contested regions without frequent recovery, resupply, or exposure of personnel. Data integration and real-time communication modules support timely decision making for mission planners.

Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Support

Wave Glider systems augment traditional naval assets by providing persistent coverage for undersea surveillance and anti-submarine operations. Outfitted with acoustic and non-acoustic sensing payloads, our USVs can detect, classify, and track underwater threats while maintaining minimal surface exposure. Seamless integration with U.S. Navy operational frameworks and robust endurance make the Wave Glider a force multiplier in multi-domain defense strategies.

Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance (ISR)

We enable federal clients to enhance maritime domain awareness with autonomous ISR missions across vast or inaccessible areas. Our robots perform low-signature, extended surveillance to collect electro-optical, radar, acoustic, and environmental data. Secure communication links and flexible sensor payloads support intelligence gathering, rapid threat assessment, and successful deployment in support of joint operations or special missions.

Environmental & Compliance Monitoring

The Wave Glider offers a trusted platform for federal agencies charged with environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, or scientific study. Our solutions can be configured to autonomously collect and transmit oceanographic, meteorological, and pollution-related data over long durations. This supports compliance with environmental mandates, enhances ecological understanding, and provides actionable insights for maritime policy enforcement.

  • Mission scope subject to technical and regulatory review
  • Initial evaluations do not guarantee contract award or deployment

04 / A little more detail

Good questions.
Clear answers.

What types of federal agencies do you work with?

Our services are tailored exclusively for U.S. federal clients, including the Navy, Air Force, and other national defense or environmental agencies with ocean monitoring, surveillance, or autonomous maritime needs. If you represent a qualifying federal office or contract agency, we encourage you to contact us about your specific requirements.

How autonomous are your marine robots?

Our Wave Glider platform operates fully autonomously using wave and solar power, requiring no manned support during deployments. The systems can execute pre-programmed missions, adapt to dynamic conditions, and transmit data securely. Mission parameters and payloads can be customized to meet client objectives and compliance standards.

What data can the Wave Glider collect?

Depending on the configured payloads, Wave Glider can autonomously collect oceanographic, environmental, acoustic, radar, and electro-optical data over extended missions. Specific sensor and communication capabilities can be tailored to agency needs, whether for defense, reconnaissance, or environmental compliance.

Is Wave Glider suitable for anti-submarine operations?

Yes, Wave Glider is widely deployed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) support. Its persistent presence, acoustic sensing abilities, and low visual profile make it ideal for detecting, classifying, and tracking undersea threats in coordination with traditional naval assets. Mission details and sensor configurations are established based on each agency’s unique requirements.

What is required to begin a contract engagement?

Prospective federal clients should prepare a preliminary outline of their mission needs, security considerations, and any relevant contract or procurement processes. Initial discussions help us determine technical suitability and align deliverables with specific agency needs. We ensure all information provided is handled securely and complies with federal protocols.
