In the United States, OPT has increased its PowerBuoy® deployments from a single research-focused system to five concurrent deployments. These include three systems supporting US Department of Homeland Security activities, one system supporting Department of War research for the US Navy, and one additional deployment supporting a US-based research institution. This expansion reflects a transition from initial research deployments toward broader multi-agency use.
Internationally, OPT continues to expand its presence with three WAM-V® autonomous surface vehicles and one PowerBuoy deployed in the United Arab Emirates, as well as additional WAM-V deployments supporting customer activities in Taiwan and other regions.
OPT is also showcasing its WAM-V platform at the Special Operations Forces Week in Tampa, the major annual event for the global Special Operations Forces community, supporting engagement with defense and advanced marine operations stakeholders.
The increase in concurrent deployments across multiple regions and customers reflects growing demand for persistent offshore monitoring and autonomous maritime capabilities.
