About Open Ocean Robotics
Watch more ocean for longer without keeping a crew at sea. Open Ocean Robotics develops autonomous surface vessels and maritime data services for persistent monitoring and security.
Operating context
Open Ocean Robotics offers solar-powered, self-righting DataXplorer USVs and remote data services for persistent maritime monitoring. DataXplorer Protect can combine optical, thermal, acoustic, AIS and weather sensing with selected communications bearers; the catalogue distinguishes standard equipment from options, so mission payloads should be specified as a package. On September 15, 2026, the company announced qualification for Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace Streams 1, 2 and 5, enabling it to compete through that supply arrangement. This is a procurement access milestone rather than a purchase order. The same release identifies Victoria and Halifax operations and more than 12,000 fleet operating hours, reported by the company as an aggregate. Buyers should translate fleet experience into the specific payload, endurance, operating area and data-delivery obligations they need.
