Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPT) has completed the necessary engineering for Merrows, its Artificial Intelligence capable Maritime Domain Awareness Solution, to be deployed in hot climates.
The engineering efforts integrated lessons learned from current and previous deployments, including in Bahrain. These efforts were necessitated by increased interest in the solution in regions such as the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa.
OPT has previously completed hot climate deployments of the WAM-Vs and is now offering its integrated Merrows solution across most of the globe.
OPT provides intelligent maritime solutions and services that enable safer, cleaner, and more productive ocean operations for the defense and security, oil and gas, science and research, and offshore wind markets.
The company’s PowerBuoy® platforms provide clean and reliable electric power and real-time data communications for remote maritime and subsea applications. OPT also provides WAM-V® autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and marine robotics services.
Philipp Stratmann, CEO and President of OPT, expressed his enthusiasm about this development; “In addition to our recent expansion into Latin America, we are excited to start offering services in Sub-Saharan and North Africa, and the Middle East. Offering an integrated AI solution enables our potential customers to easily integrate PowerBuoys and WAM-Vs into their operations.”
