(NYSE American: OPTT) (“OPT” or the “Company”), a leader in innovative and cost-effective low-carbon marine power, data, and service solutions, today announced the active deployment of three PowerBuoy® systems supporting U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maritime surveillance operations, with all units simultaneously transmitting real-time data from offshore environments. The deployed systems are operating concurrently as a distributed offshore network, providing persistent data collection and continuous communications to support maritime domain awareness missions. One of the PowerBuoys is deployed in water depths exceeding 1,000 meters, demonstrating the platform’s ability to operate in deep-water conditions. The PowerBuoy systems are integrated with Anduril Industries’ Lattice autonomous command and control platform, enabling real-time ingestion of offshore sensor data into operational workflows. “This is a paradigm shift from single deployments to coordinated offshore systems operating simultaneously,” said Jason Weed, SVP Sales and Commercial of Ocean Power Technologies. “We are demonstrating that autonomous platforms can deliver continuous data from multiple locations, including deep-water environments, and integrate directly into operational command systems.” Each PowerBuoy functions as a persistent offshore node, providing power, communications, and sensor hosting in a single autonomous platform designed for extended-duration operation in harsh ocean conditions. Each PowerBuoy® is also equipped with its own AI capable, decision making software, part of OPT’s Merrows™ suite. Operating together, the deployed systems expand coverage and enable more consistent monitoring without reliance on manned vessels or aircraft. The deployment is part of OPT’s ongoing DHS program supporting maritime domain awareness operations off the coast of California. The Company continues to advance distributed, autonomous offshore systems designed to provide scalable and persistent coverage for national security applications.
