The Triton is the world’s only environmentally powered AUSV. Completely solar and wind powered, it can travel at speeds of up to five knots and can submerge for up to five days at two knots.

A true multidomain workhorse, the Triton can be used as a force multiplier for defense operations, offering easy logistics, launch and recovery while evading detection using autonomous avoidance and deep diving capabilities.

Forcys will be supplying Ocean Aero with SPRINT-Nav Mini, the world’s smallest hybrid acoustic-inertial navigation technology from its technology partner Sonardyne and Solstice, the leading multi-aperture sonar (MAS) for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) systems, from its technology partner Wavefront Systems.

Forcys’ General Manager and Head of Global Sales, Dan Zatezalo welcomes their selection: “We are thrilled that Ocean Aero has chosen us as their payload provider for defence applications. Their revolutionary technology is a great complement to our offer, and we think their customers are going to love the results. We look forward to working with them in driving the autonomous ocean defense technology sector forward.”

Bob Marthouse, COO from Ocean Aero said: “A key differentiator in our selection process is the performance to power ratio. We need to maximise the value from our payloads while managing the power consumption to sustain our mission goals. This is where the technology from Forcys makes a significant difference. On our last mission, everyone was highly impressed with the Solstice MAS.”
 
With Forcys’ marine defense market expertise, alongside its access to many technology partners and Ocean Aero’s many applications for the Triton, the partnership looks set to be a revolutionary and fruitful one.
