“What we are seeing here is the future of our Navy... It makes sense to invest in Outpost to meet the growing challenges of undersea warfare and ensure a strong national defense.”
Senator Richard Blumenthal
(D-CT)
Submarines provide a critical, asymmetric advantage in the undersea domain. Despite budget increases, shipbuilding and submarine construction are falling behind and facing cost overruns. There simply aren't enough submarines.
Like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) are increasingly employed in combat by smaller nations and groups. You can't react to this growing threat if you can't find it in a vast ocean environment.
ThayerMahan delivers scalable persistent unmanned acoustic surveillance. We identify the critical vulnerabilities of potential adversaries at a fraction of the cost.
We fill the surveillance gap with 'attritable' autonomous systems. And we can fill it now.
“Autonomous, high-quality, connected, persistent sensors at an affordable price is fundamental. I have been studying this situation my entire adult life, not only studying but operating in this environment. Outpost provides all of those qualities, it is exactly the type of sensor we need.”
Admiral John Richardson (retired)
Former Chief of Naval Operations
