Extending the Reach of Maritime Operations
Ocean Power Technologies provides persistent power, communications, and autonomous presence for maritime operations across defense, offshore energy, and ocean research.
Who We Serve
Government & Defense
Persistent Maritime Awareness
Maintain an enduring presence in strategically important waters. OPT combines offshore power and communications, mobile maritime platforms, and connected data to support monitoring, surveillance, and informed decision-making.
Offshore Energy
Power and Data for Offshore Operations
Support remote sensors, subsea equipment, asset monitoring, and offshore communications without relying exclusively on crewed vessels or fixed infrastructure in maritime operations.
Hydrography, Science & Research
Expand Survey Coverage and Ocean Observation
Deploy sensors and survey equipment across coastal, littoral, and inland waters. OPT platforms support hydrographic data collection, environmental monitoring, and long-duration ocean research for maritime operations.
PowerBuoy®
Persistent Offshore Power and Communications
PowerBuoy provides self-generating offshore power for onboard sensors and subsea equipment. It can host third-party instruments, support communications, and relay data between remote maritime assets and shore-based teams.
WAM-V®
Mobile Maritime Operations
WAM-V is a modular, wave-adaptive autonomous surface platform built for survey, inspection, monitoring, and data-collection work across coastal, littoral, and inland environments. More than 80 WAM-V platforms have been delivered globally.
Merrows™
AI-Capable Ocean Intelligence
Merrows is the connecting layer within the OPT architecture. It is designed to bring sensor and platform data together and make that information available within customer command-and-control environments for maritime operations.
