Wavefront Systems, a developer of sonar solutions for underwater detection, imaging and navigation, has formally merged with Chelsea Technologies and Forcys, with all three organizations now operating together under the Forcys brand.
This integration strengthens the group’s ability to meet evolving demands across defense, security, and other critical markets, while reinforcing its position as a technical leader in underwater solutions.
The newly combined organization unites decades of specialist engineering experience, creating a more cohesive offering for customers in defense and security, while continuing to support blue technology sectors.
Following a record-breaking period of defense deliveries, the expanded Forcys team is well placed to support the industry’s transition from traditional systems to a more autonomous future. The unified organization will be able to deliver integrated underwater payloads supporting a wide range of missions, from Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) to underwater intruder detection and deterrence.
Paul Badger, CEO of Forcys, commented, “Combining the three organisations provides us with the critical mass required to deliver against a more ambitious vision. With underwater threats to our critical national infrastructure and peer adversaries that increasingly rely on autonomous platforms, we need to be ready to meet the mission head-on. We are doing exactly that.”
Ioseba Tena, CCO of Forcys, added, “Building on the proven defence pedigree of Chelsea Technologies and Wavefront Systems, we are integrating world-class expertise to help our customers outperform the competition by delivering increased value through our integrated underwater sensing solutions. We are confident that this is the right team at the right time to lead the next chapter of industry innovation.”
While the Forcys name will represent the combined organization, Chelsea Technologies will continue as a product brand within the new structure, maintaining its established reputation in blue technology, including specialist sensing and water quality monitoring.
This collaboration brings together three companies within the same group to improve efficiency and better serve customers across all sectors.
