TGS and GTI Collaborate on Seismic Acquisition
Marine Data Acquisition, TGS, said. "GTI's shallow-water and transition-zone capabilities are highly complementary to our deepwater strengths, and we see significant opportunity to combine our respective expertise on projects around the world."The four-year agreement establishes a framework for collaboration on future seismic acquisition projects worldwide
L3Harris Opens Rhode Island Facility to Support Naval Readiness
L3Harris Technologies has opened a new 50,000-square-foot maritime production facility at ProvPort in Providence, marking the completion of a $6 million investment to design, produce and deliver advanced undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces.The site will strengthen Rhode Island’s longstanding U.S. Navy and maritime industrial base with additional jobs through local partnerships, port operations and specialized maritime services, including partnering with Waterson Terminal Services to leverage local Longshoremen expertise in supporting offshore wind cable management.
Hybrid Navy Extravaganza
No too long ago, US Navy Secretary John Phelan said: “If the last few years of conflict have taught us anything, it is that we will not win the wars of the future with the platforms of the past.” The nation’s ability to deter future conflict or to prevail, if necessary, will benefit from high quantities of low-cost air, surface and subsea unmanned systems. These will be used for close-range reconnaissance or one-way strike missions along with lower numbers of high-cost sophisticated systems with surveillance and/or mid- to long-range strike capability.Kraken Technology Group is one
Nauticus Robotics Shares Q2 2026 Financial Results
Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a provider of subsea robotics and software, announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTSNauticus ToolKITT CommercializationDuring the quarter, Nauticus successfully deployed a Comanche ROV integrated with Nauticus ToolKITT in customer operations. The system demonstrated improved operating efficiency and reduced pilot workload, providing additional field validation of the Company's software-enabled approach to subsea operations.Nauticus also released its Nauticus ToolKITT software for ROVs. The platform is now
Jaia Robotics to Deliver Aquatic Drones in US Marine Corps Contract
provide the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) with an initial operating capability to rapidly characterize beach landing sites and other littoral environments while keeping the warfighter out of harm's way.The award supports the DoD's mission to accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies that are force multipliers for our warfighters. Designed for rapid fielding, JaiaBot systems allow operators to scale from singleRasset missions to synchronized, multi@vehicle operations within minutes. Their low cost and minimal training burden enable Marine units to collect large quantities of environmental
The Power of Persistence
;This quote, attributed to U.S. Army General John Pershing in the context of World War I expeditionary operations, is equally applicable today as we move further into the era of autonomous undersea systems. From the age of sail to the nuclear age, maritime power has been underpinned by how far and how long forces could operate forward, and while logistics has traditionally meant sustaining crews and platforms with fuel, food, and materiel, the logistics burden of autonomous underwater operations increasingly centers on one fundamental requirement: energy. It is energy that powers every onboard system &ndash
Prysmian Cable Manufacturing Expands North Carolina Facility
at its Claremont facility in Catawba County, a 1.2 million-square-foot manufacturing operation where it produces both the glass used inside fiber optic cables and the cables themselves. The expansion will more than double the company's U.S. fiber optic production capacity, including the glass preform and fiber manufacturing processes, and increase the cable production side as well. Construction is expected to take 20-24 months. At more than $1 billion, the project represents the largest capital investment announced in Catawba County in the 11 years that the Economic Development Partnership
Romulus USV Passes Critical Military Test
