Open Ocean Robotics

Open Ocean Robotics develops autonomous, solar-powered uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) and the software around them to collect and deliver maritime and ocean data. The company's mission runs to pioneering autonomous ocean intelligence by providing high-quality maritime data and real-time awareness at lower cost than traditional approaches. Its vehicles operate persistently in challenging waters and suit both security-related and environmental missions. The business spans ocean monitoring, maritime awareness, and remote data collection. On the security side, its systems support coastal surveillance, ISR, patrol, port security, dark vessel detection, and illegal fishing enforcement. On the environmental side, they cover wildlife monitoring, marine life monitoring, water quality, climate indicators, climate data collection, environmental monitoring, and oceanographic observation. The same technologies serve research, offshore operations, government operations, hydrographic surveying, terminal mapping, seagrass mapping, marine mammal monitoring, and eDNA sampling. Open Ocean Robotics takes a platform-based approach rather than building a single-purpose product. Its USVs run on solar power, emit nothing, stay quiet, and handle long-duration missions in coastal and open-ocean waters, including harsh sea conditions. They can carry modular sensors for high-resolution oceanographic, environmental, and acoustic data collection. Real-time detection and remote access come through AI-driven software, with cloud-based control and data management through XplorerView. A Command Portal handles autonomous fleet oversight and data decisions, and AI Tools deliver real-time vision and acoustic intelligence. What sets the company apart: persistent autonomous operation, solar power, modular sensing, and AI-enabled real-time analysis brought together in one system. That flexible platform adapts across defense, science, government, and industry use cases, helping organizations collect ocean data continuously while reducing risk, emissions, and the need for human deployment at sea. Security and environmental work draw on the same vehicles, the same solar power, and the same software, so a boat patrolling for dark vessels in one campaign can gather water quality and marine mammal data in the next.
