Ocean Aero

Ocean Aero is a provider of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for surface and subsurface ocean monitoring applications. The company flagship product, the Triton, is a self-powered unmanned surface and subsurface vehicle that operates using solar rechargeable lithium batteries and can carry various payloads. The Triton is compatible with sensors for weather monitoring, dissolved oxygen measurement, acoustic modems, magnetometers, directional drilling, satellite communications, seismic survey, and hydrocarbon detection. It serves as a persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platform and cross-communication gateway for critical air, surface, and subsurface applications. Ocean Aero supports defense, research, and energy clients with novel hardware and software that make ocean exploration more efficient, affordable, and effective by addressing the challenges of expensive, dangerous, and dirty traditional data collection methods.
