Persistent, Networked Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)

The Challenge

Enhance Early
Threat Detection

Naval forces face a growing asymmetric threat beneath the surface. The need for persistent, wide-area maritime surveillance in all latitudes has never been greater.

Tyranny of Distance

Traditional assets cannot provide persistent monitoring over vast ocean areas. Subsea activity may occur undetected.

Force Protection

Deploying manned assets for surveillance activities puts warfighters at risk and ties up high-value assets that are needed elsewhere.

Budget Constraints

Operating crewed ships and aircraft for extended surveillance is prohibitively expensive, limiting the ability to maintain a continuous presence.

Our Solution

Detect & Identify

The towed acoustic array, including our Holt Array, detects and locates signatures of submarines and other subsea contacts.

Process at the Edge

Configurable, onboard processing analyzes acoustic data in real-time, distilling thousands of observations into actionable contact reports.

Real-Time Communications

Wave Gliders transmit secure and encrypted data via satellite or Line-of-Site (LOS) to accelerate decision-making.

Safeguarding Customer Information

As part of our commitment to protecting sensitive defense-related work, we do not publicly share information about past and active defense missions. National and international government-to-government conversations can be arranged upon request.

TECHNOLOGY

Tactical Advantage with Wave Gliders

Built for stealth and persistence, Wave Gliders are the world’s most experienced USV. Combining wave propulsion for extra-long endurance with solar power and energy storage for extensive payloads, Wave Gliders deliver real-time acoustic intelligence from an inherently silent platform.

About Wave Gliders

The Holt Array

Built in-house by Liquid Robotics, the Holt Array is a robust, state-of-the-art towed acoustic line array designed for low-power, persistent monitoring with a durable design to support long-term endurance uncrewed deployments.

Secure Gateway Communications

Acting as a seabed-to-space link, Wave Gliders collect data from beneath the surface, including from UUVs and fixed assets at full ocean depth, and securely communicate to your MOC.
