Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Dartmouth designer and manufacturer of satellite-connected oceanographic, tracking, search-and-rescue and defence or security telemetry systems, including drifting buoys, acoustic profiling floats, beacons and Iridium communications hardware and services.
Last reviewed Aug 26, 2026
Decision snapshot
MetOcean matters when teams need Canadian access to autonomous ocean sensing, recoverable buoys and satellite backhaul rather than a single platform. Public records distinguish operational PABLO and drifter use, a National Defence NiKA/PAMS award and current US Coast Guard iSLDMB orders from vendor-only performance claims. The next conversation should verify exact orderable configurations, production lead times, acceptance evidence, security accreditation and whether each submerged system returns data only after surfacing.
See all reviewed connectionsReleased Defence need
NiKA autonomous acoustic profiling float may help teams working on Persistent uncrewed underwater surveillance by contributing to maritime and undersea operations, Arctic and northern operations, and detection and situational awareness.
Organization context
MetOcean combines Dartmouth-based product design and manufacturing with Iridium value-added-reseller integration, airtime, monitoring software and support. Its public portfolio spans iSLDMB and environmental drifters, PABLO and NiKA acoustic profilers, STREAM satellite terminals, MASS naval scoring and third-party products it distributes or integrates; product ownership, bearer specifications and customer proof must be assessed separately.
Federal records identify legal recipient Metocean Telematics Limited, business number 103650503, at 11 Thornhill Drive in Dartmouth. The official site places headquarters, research and development and production there; Iridium independently identifies Dartmouth development and manufacturing. The official 40,000-square-foot and 20,000-square-foot manufacturing figures remain owner-controlled.

Prepare the conversation
Which NiKA/PAMS and iSLDMB configurations have been delivered and accepted under the cited awards, and what non-sensitive test results can be shared?
The DND NiKA/PAMS award and three USCG iSLDMB calls establish procurement events, but their public records do not disclose quantities, delivered configurations, acceptance results or operational performance.
Which personnel, facility, cybersecurity and data-handling controls apply to each defence configuration beyond Controlled Goods registration?
Controlled Goods registration is confirmed through 2031-01-28, while personnel, facility, cybersecurity, data-residency and product-accreditation details remain outside the reviewed public record.
What unit capacity, lead time, quality-certificate scope and Canadian workshare apply to NiKA, iSLDMB, PABLO, STREAM and MASS orders?
MetOcean and Iridium support a Dartmouth manufacturing nexus, but public sources do not establish current throughput, backlog, product-level domestic workshare or certified quality scope.
For the selected mission, which sensing, satellite, software and third-party components are included, and where are the integration and data-return boundaries?
