Wavefront, MARSS, Forcys Showcase Multi-Domain Threat Detection Systems
in a stealth insertion scenario, with a high-speed insertion craft deploying a dive team in an attempt to breach port security—supported by an airborne drone, simulating a simultaneous incursion. Demonstration observers were able to watch the threat unfold in real time as Wavefront’s Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar (IDS) and MARSS’ NiDAR Command and Control (C2) platform worked in tandem to detect, track, classify and respond to the incursions from underwater and the air.At the heart of the demonstration was the integration of Sentinel IDS into the NiDAR C2 platform. These
Teledyne Marine to Host Slocum Glider User’s Conference
User’s Conference, taking place October 7–9, 2025. This three-day event will bring together Slocum glider users, marine scientists, engineers, and dignitaries for an exchange of knowledge, innovation, and mission collaboration.The conference will culminate in the official launch of the Sentinel Mission on October 10, featuring REDWING, the first autonomous underwater glider that will embark on the first ever AUV mission to autonomously circumnavigate the globe.Conference Highlights:Expert panels and technical sessions on topics such as long-endurance missions, passive acoustic monitoring
DEEP’s Vanguard Pressure Vessel Aces Submergence Test off Scotland
on the seafloor. The Vanguard habitat is a key step in this mission - a modular, transportable, pressurized vessel designed to allow humans to live underwater at depths of up to 200 meters for extended periods.Ultimately, Vanguard will pave the way for DEEP’s larger habitat system known as Sentinel.Green Marine UK has been involved in the initiative from its early stages, identifying potential deployment sites across U.K. waters, and execution of all marine operations for Vanguard’s submergence and testing.Acting as Principal Contractor for all marine works, Green Marine’s oversight
Cellula Robotics Expands AUV Market Reach in Northern Europe
of its advanced autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technologies across Northern Europe.Under the agreement, SES will promote and represent Cellula’s full AUV portfolio - including the Envoy, Porter, and Guardian AUVs, the Subsea Warden Hovering AUV for ship signature management, and the Subsea Sentinel system for passive acoustic monitoring - in both commercial and scientific sectors.SES will focus on customers in academic research, offshore survey, and geophysical industries, while FLANQ will engage with defense, maritime security, and government clients.The new partnership will support customers
Sentinel Subsea Completes Well Monitoring Job in North Sea
Sentinel Subsea has completed the project for North Sea oil and gas operator, which involved the deployment of two WellSentinel Coral systems for well integrity monitoring operation.The project supported a large-scale drilling operation, with the WellSentinel Coral systems providing continuous monitoring of the integrity of the wells throughout the suspension period, ensuring safe and efficient operations during this crucial phase.The deployment began and was completed in February 2025.This project marks the first time WellSentinel technology has been implemented at the start of a well’s lifecycle
The Power of Scientific Collaboration is Perennial
;s R/V Falkor (too). Their findings provide new insights into the fate of volcanic debris in marine environments.Additionally in the November issue, Celia Konowe looks at the critical role gliders play in gathering data for understanding climate change and marine biodiversity. An upcoming project is the Sentinel Mission, a collaboration between Teledyne Webb Research and Rutgers University in support of the UN Ocean Decade. It aims to send a Slocum Sentinel Glider on the first circumnavigation of the earth by an autonomous underwater vehicle.The mission will commence in the coming year, bringing together
Wavefront's Intruder Detection Sonar Chosen for Corvettes
Sonar technology company Wavefront Systems has been awarded a contract by global defense company MARSS Group to deliver its Sentinel IDS® (Intruder Detection Sonar) as part of MARSS’s NiDAR surveillance system for a fleet of Corvette-class vessels deployed in South-East Asia.The NiDAR platform will fuse a range of new and legacy sensors – including Wavefront’s Sentinel IDS sonar, navigational radars and infrared cameras – into a single user interface, to provide a highly accurate and rapid means of detecting and classifying underwater and surface threats to the vessel
Viridien, SLB Conclude Multi-Client Survey in Australia's Bonaparte Basin
challenging to image due to the presence of carbonates and the shallow water.The new survey will provide modern, high-quality data over an area lacking recent, or any 3D data. The data also partially covers a carbon storage block, recently awarded as permit G-13-AP.The survey deployed Sercel Sentinel MS multi-component streamers and the Sercel QuietSea marine mammal monitoring system.“We are delighted to have partnered with SLB for the first time in Australia to successfully complete this large data acquisition project. The new high-quality data set will give interested players greater
Passive Monitoring Systems Deployed for Australian Projects
Sentinel Subsea has deployed monitoring systems in Australia to support the decommissioning of subsea assets for a major client in collaboration with Baker Hughes.Two of the company’s passive subsea integrity monitoring systems, WellSentinel™ Coral, were deployed that enable the continuous monitoring of temporary suspended wells in the remote field. The systems were installed onto two 18 ¾” wellheads from a vessel of opportunity, and no in-well intervention was required.In another project, Sentinel Subsea successfully deployed two WellSentinel™ Coral-Frond Hybrid systems
