The subsea world can be a murky place, making it challenging to monitor crucial operations like cable deployment. This is where the ISS360HD Imaging Sonar comes in, recently integrated with North Sea Systems' innovative CableFish® system. This powerful combination enables accurate visualisation and real-time monitoring of cable touchdown points during deployment.

General Dynamics Mission Systems announced today that it was awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee modification to a previously awarded contract by the U.S. Navy worth $20.7 million to exercise an option for Hammerhead Encapsulated Effector systems. Hammerhead is a moored anti-submarine mine which delivers new capabilities and effects to the U.S. Navy. Work will be performed in Taunton, Mass., and is expected to be completed by June 2026.

Greensea IQ, is proud to announce an extension to its prototype (Other Transaction Agreement) with the Defense Innovation Unit and U.S. Navy following the successful completion to Phase 3 of the Autonomous Expeditionary Maritime Response Vehicle (AEMRV) prototype last fall. The objective of this contract modification is to demonstrate a production-ready edge processing configuration of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Workspace, called EOD Edge, deployed in Greensea’s IQNS, with the autonomy and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) components. This contract extension signifies a closer step to providing this enabling technology to U.S. Navy EOD Technicians.

The first of its kind, a containerised remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV) solution, developed for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), has now successfully completed Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) – just 6 months after the contract was awarded to Danish subsea engineering specialist EIVA. Through containerisation, this new type of survey solution enables hydrographic surveys with multiple acoustic survey sensors and instruments to be performed from many different host platforms with very short deployment time.

Subsea7 today announced the award of a sizeable(1) contract in the US Gulf of Mexico. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction, and offshore installation of a water injection flowline, hull piping, and associated subsea infrastructure.

The Marine Technology Society (MTS) and the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) are thrilled to announce Martin “Marty” Klein as the distinguished recipient of the 2024 Captain Don Walsh Award for Ocean Exploration. This prestigious award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding, sustained, and international contributions to the development, application, or propagation of marine and underwater technology toward the advancement of ocean exploration.

A new NATO-funded initiative aims to make the internet less vulnerable to disruption by rerouting the flow of information into space in the event that undersea cables are attacked or accidentally severed. The $2.5 million project, launched on 31 July 2024, was partially funded by NATO’s Science for Peace and Security programme (SPS).

DWE.ai, a leader in cutting-edge underwater computer vision solutions, proudly showcased its latest innovation in real-time underwater stereo vision at the 11th Annual Maritime Security West Conference. The system can be configured for 1000m, 6000m, or full ocean depth (12,000m) operations.

A new team is heading up the organisation of SPE Offshore Europe (OE) at RX Global, in partnership with SPE, in the biennial event next being held at P&J Live, Aberdeen, UK from 2-5 September 2025.

Teledyne Gavia announces the significant expansion of its Engineering and Production facilities in Kopavogur, Iceland, in response to the increased demand for both low logistics Gavia class systems and larger the Osprey and SeaRaptor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).

The Ocean Exploration Trust’s (OET) Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus sets sail today on its fifth expedition of 2024: E Mamana Ou Gataifale I (NA164). This expedition includes multi-vehicle exploration of midwater ecosystems across American Samoan waters.

During a recent deep water trials campaign in Madeira, an ecoSUBm25-Science autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was launched and successfully completed a spiral behavior to provide vertical profiling of the water column down to 2,000 m depth and back again.

Greensea IQ, a leader in advanced technology for ocean robotics, is proud to announce the launch of two groundbreaking products: IQNS and IQNS Mini. These advanced edge processing systems are designed to elevate the capabilities, scale, and scope of underwater robots in defense applications using EOD Workspace with superior GNCC (Guidance, Navigation, Command, and Control) and onboard AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) processing.

Nauticus Robotics a leading innovator in subsea robotics and software, announces a partnership with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) for further testing of its flagship underwater vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2.

Forcys is excited to announce they have been selected by Ocean Aero as a payload provider for their world-leading autonomous underwater and surface vehicle (AUSV), the Triton. The Triton is the world’s only environmentally powered AUSV. Completely solar and wind powered, it can travel at speeds of up to 5 knots and can submerge for up to 5 days at 2 knots.

In October of 2023, Phoenix was contacted by the Ocean Cables and Unmanned Systems Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (EXWC) to develop an innovative approach to repair the Kaneohe Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) 60M Berth Electro-Opto-Mechanical Cable. Due to the dynamic shoreline environment, the cable had sustained damage along the shore landing riprap. This time-sensitive repair was critical to support Wave Energy Converter (WEC) deployment schedules and other site initiatives.

The National Subsea Centre (NSC), a centre of excellence for subsea research and technology development, today announced its newly formed partnership with NOC Innovations, a Southampton-based facility making cutting-edge marine research and tailor-made autonomous technology available to organisations around the globe.
