• Encrypted commercial satellite communications
• Persistent energy harvesting buoy
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Moored Acoustic Sensors
SeaPicket® is a long-dwell, autonomous acoustic monitoring system designed for persistent underwater surveillance in high-interest maritime zones. It integrates a bottom-mounted passive sonar array with a buoy-based energy-harvesting platform, enabling months-long deployments without maintenance or support vessels.
Engineered for simplicity, survivability, and scalability, SeaPicket delivers near-real-time acoustic intelligence via secure satellite communications. Its depth-adjustable mooring system is designed to avoid entanglement with marine life, making it ideal for both defense and environmental missions.
SeaPicket is a modular solution for governments, navies, and commercial operators seeking cost-effective, scalable maritime domain awareness.
