The shipment marks a key milestone in the program and represents the transition from system development and integration into operational deployment. This PowerBuoy system, together with others under the contract, will be deployed off the coast of California to provide persistent, autonomous offshore surveillance capabilities supporting DHS mission requirements. Integration with Anduril’s systems is progressing in parallel.
“This shipment represents an important milestone in the execution of our DHS program and highlights the progress we have made in delivering innovative maritime infrastructure to support national security missions,” said Jason Weed, SVP Commercial Sales of Ocean Power Technologies. “We believe our PowerBuoy platform provides a unique capability for persistent offshore monitoring, enabling government agencies to enhance maritime domain awareness while reducing operational costs and logistical complexity.”
The system is expected to be deployed following final site preparations and operational readiness procedures. Once installed, the PowerBuoy network will support maritime surveillance operations as part of DHS’s broader efforts to strengthen coastal and offshore monitoring capabilities.
OPT continues to work closely with DHS and its technology partners to deliver autonomous maritime monitoring solutions designed to enhance situational awareness and support critical security operations.
