What we do

We bring the ocean and its data to you, with novel hardware and software that is revolutionizing maritime exploration. Ocean Aero has created the world’s first and only environmentally powered Autonomous Underwater and Surface Vehicle (AUSV), the TRITON, that collects data both above and below the ocean’s surface and relays it to you from anywhere, at anytime. We design, build, and operate the TRITON and its communication platform, offering both ready-to-deploy packages and custom payloads for an array of applications.

Why we do it

Exploring the world’s oceans today is expensive, dangerous, and dirty—we’re here to change that. Most existing exploration vessels use diesel fuels that pollute our environment and deploy human crews that often face dangerous and remote locations. These limiting factors have forced the maritime industry to collect data less frequently and pay more for it. Our TRITON is fully wind and solar powered, eliminating the use of environment-polluting fuel and is fully autonomous, eliminating the need for on-board or nearby crews. This autonomy allows for extended deployment and broad scope mission execution in remote ocean domains for longer periods of time. Intelligent autonomy software manages the TRITON for you, so you can focus on analysis, mission planning, and other valuable tasks back at home.

Who we do it for

We exist to support you, our ocean’s most driven explorers. We want to help drive your defense, research, or energy missions in unprecedented ways—more efficiently, more affordably, and more effectively. The TRITON is a force multiplier for defense applications, offering easy logistics, launch, and recovery while evading detection using autonomous avoidance and deep diving capabilities. For research missions, the TRITON offers unparalleled MSC (Monitoring, Surveillance, and Control) for water chemistry reads, animal tracking, weather observation, seabed mapping, and more. The TRITON revolutionizes offshore energy monitoring by feeding predictive algorithms, offering more (and better) data, and eliminating the need for cumbersome tethered ROVS. Whatever your niche needs, we can meet them. Whatever your mission, we can serve you.
