Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's successful demonstration of its defense and security solutions during NAVDEX in Abu Dhabi. Partnering with Remah International Group (RIG), a UAE-based company specializing in military and civilian services, OPT showcased its advanced technologies designed for maritime security and intelligence operations. During live demonstrations, OPT highlighted the capabilities of its WAM-V® Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), which are equipped with underwater sensors and can integrate with aerial drones for enhanced surveillance and reconnaissance. The company also exhibited its Next Generation Powerbuoy—an autonomous offshore power and communications platform—and the AI-capable Merrows system, designed to support real-time data processing and maritime monitoring. Stratmann emphasized that the demonstrations, along with discussions held with key stakeholders, are expected to create new growth opportunities for OPT in the region. These opportunities include supporting autonomous anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, national security applications, and maritime intelligence solutions. The company plans to provide further updates as these engagements progress into order backlogs and revenue generation. In addition to the NAVDEX showcase, Stratmann highlighted OPT’s recently published whitepaper on Ocean-Based Edge AI, which explores the future of artificial intelligence in maritime environments. The whitepaper outlines how AI-powered systems can enhance real-time data analysis and decision-making, paving the way for smarter, more efficient maritime operations in both commercial and defense sectors. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #OffshoreAutonomy, #MaritimeSecurity, #CommercialPlatforms, #GrowthStrategy, #BuoyBusiness, #VehicleBusiness, #InternationalExpansion, #ReadyToDeploy
