New UK team brings defence, offshore operations, and stakeholder engagement expertise as Cellula strengthens regional presence

Greensea IQ, a leader in subsea robotics and autonomous systems, today announced the launch of a new simulator designed to help operators learn, practice, and refine their skills using the company’s Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs).

Exail is supplying over 70 acoustic transponders and integrated navigation suites for two major deepwater energy projects in Brazil and Angola. These contracts mark a significant milestone in the global adoption of Exail’s Long Baseline (LBL) subsea positioning technology, supporting subsea construction, offshore infrastructure installation, and survey operations in complex environments at depths of up to 4,000 meters.

Sonardyne’s leadership in underwater navigation and positioning has been further reinforced by a major new order for its Fusion 2 platform and 6+ technology from the global subsea solutions provider Ashtead Technology.

Greensea IQ today announced the release of a new post-processing software toolset called Bayonet Insight for its maritime robotics software products deployed to defense forces. Bayonet Insight supports all software deployed on Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs), EOD Edge and EOD Workspace deployed on Mission Specialist Defender ROVs by VideoRay (an AeroVironment company), RNAV diver navigation systems by STIDD Systems, Bayonet Underwater Control (BUC) systems, and Greensea’s EverClean ship maintenance and inspection robots. The tool was developed in response to a clear and persistent need from operators: faster access to mission insight while it still matters.

RS Aqua today announces a new strategic partnership with Seasats, a San Diego -based unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developer, to introduce their range of security platforms to the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland defence market.

ACUA Ocean has announced the launch of FleetMind™, a proprietary integrated platform monitoring system for autonomous vessels, filling a significant gap in the medium and large USV management capability.

Cellula Robotics Ltd. announced today it will exhibit at Oceanology International 2026 (Oi), taking place 10–12 March 2026 at ExCeL London. At Stand C601, Cellula will share practical insight into long-range subsea autonomy and deployment readiness—highlighting the operational realities of endurance, repeatable workflows, and support models for defence, offshore survey, and environmental applications.

At Oceanology International (Oi26), Teledyne Marine will introduce new additions to its SeaBat T-Series sonar portfolio, offering Integrated Dual Head (IDH) capability to the SeaBat T51 multibeam echosounder series, extending dual head performance to both surface vessel and deepwater ROV deployments.

The Momentum™ Electric ROV was developed using a reliability‑driven, data‑informed design approach that re‑engineered the work‑class platform around electric propulsion to improve efficiency and simplify system architecture. The vehicle is designed for 30-day continuous subsea operations, enabling extended support for drilling, inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR), surveys, and construction work scopes. Featuring plug‑and‑play sensors, advanced 360-degree vision, automation, strong thrust, and high payload capacity, the Momentum™ Electric ROV delivers the power and control required for demanding work‑class operations. Offering backwards compatibility with Millennium® Plus ROV infrastructure, Momentum supports quick upgrades and scalable deployment.

Forum Energy Technologies’ (FET) Subsea product line has secured a contract to provide four of its new generation work class remotely operated vehicles (ROV), the XLX EVO III, to long-term client DOF.

Kraken Robotics is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Covelya Group, a leading international provider of mission-critical underwater technology solutions operating through its subsidiary companies: Sonardyne International Ltd., EIVA A/S, Forcys Ltd., Wavefront Systems Ltd., Voyis Imaging Inc., and Chelsea Technologies Ltd.

Greensea IQ, a leader in advanced subsea robotics and autonomy, today announced the first production release of Bayonet Underwater Controller, a multi-platform command and control interface for divers operating robots from submerged and constrained environments.
