The Problem This Solution Solves

The U.S. Navy is responsible for maintaining Freedom of Navigation in a vast maritime domain, but lacks necessary unmanned technologies to supplement their fleet of manned vessels and aircraft. Reliance on personnel-centric assets without unmanned technologies creates “holes” in coverage, both above and below surface.

The Solution

The Open Ocean Robotics Data Xplorer is an advanced unmanned surface vessel engineered for extended maritime data collection in demanding oceanic environments. This durable, solar-powered autonomous craft provides continuous, reliable monitoring, and enhances ocean observation with a minimal environmental footprint.

Open Ocean Robotics is one of the many companies we have contracted with in a variety of focus areas.

The DIU Commercial Solutions Catalog is a compilation of both our successful and transitioned prototypes. In conjunction with our Department of Defense (DoD) partners, we have evaluated, adapted, and tested these commercial solutions to solve your organization’s AI/ML, autonomy, cyber, human systems, and space challenges.

Prototype “Success Memos,” which enable DoD and U.S. Government (USG) entities to enter into Production Other Transaction agreements without re-competing, are available through DIU. See here for more information on the advantages of a DIU Success Memo.
