| 2026 | Editorial Focus | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| January | THE FUTURE OF OCEAN TECHNOLOGY, VOLUME 6 | Installment no. 6 of ON&T’s exclusive series of annual feature-only (no news) editions, The Future of Ocean Technology, unites a unique roll call of thought leaders to present the innovations and fresh thinking set to advance safe and cost-effective ways of working over the coming years. |
| February | EXPLORING THE DEEP | As the latest ocean technologies continue to scale the sustainable exploration of deep-sea environments, we spotlight the sophisticated underwater vehicles, sensors, and components bringing new light and definition to some of the remotest, hospitable reaches of the planet. |
| March | UNMANNED NAVAL DEFENSE | Marine technologies designed to remove warfighters from the battlespace and provide practical, cost-effective solutions for surveillance ops, such as USVs equipped with long-range multi-spectral cameras, and MCM, like AUVs with the latest precision sonar systems, take center stage. |
| April | OFFSHORE ENERGY OUTLOOK 2026 | How offshore developers prioritize the safe, efficient, and sustainable access to marine resources to meet soaring energy demand will increasingly rely on the integration of novel technologies, infrastructure updates, and data-led automation processes, as well as stringent HSSE practices. |
| May | SUBSEA ROBOTICS | Underwater robotic platforms designed, developed, and deployed to execute subsea tasks continue to diversify. From handheld Micro AUVs to Work Class ROVs and seabed residency systems, vehicle manufacturers and supply chains continue to champion remote ops capabilities. |
| June | OCEAN OBSERVATION & MONITORING | Weather modeling; climate predictions; marine biodiversity; environmental contaminants; and the carbon cycle are just some areas of scientific interest for the growing chorus of data-hungry buoys, drifters, gliders, gauges, and sensors being implemented to study complex ocean processes. |
| July | UNCREWED VEHICLE BUYERS’ GUIDE | Special Edition |
| August | DEFENDING CRITICAL UNDERWATER INFRASTRUCTURE | Protecting submarine cables and offshore energy installations is now a question of national security, one that naval forces are looking to answer by adopting a hybrid approach to in-field operations that relies on both innovative crewed and uncrewed assets above, on, and below the waterline. |
| September | OFFSHORE DIGITALIZATION & AUTOMATION | The steady digitization of offshore practices and protocols, led by Artificial Intelligence, automation techniques, and real-time data analytics, continues to enhance safe, efficient, and responsible approaches to exploration and production activities among offshore energy stakeholders. |
| October | NAVIGATION, POSITIONING & COMMUNICATIONS | Exploring uncharted and especially remote, deeper waters hinges on a system of systems engineered to accurately guide asset navigation, pinpoint its positioning, and relay real-time information to operators, allowing interested parties to follow progress like never before. |
| November | THE DRONE REVOLUTION | For certain offshore activities, operators favor the delegation of routine and potentially dangerous tasks to autonomous vehicles and data-led control systems. Whether for routine subsea intervention tasks, exploring the unknown, or search and recovery, uncrewed assets put people first. |
