Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful deployment of the first PowerBuoy® system under its previously announced contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Stratmann explained that the system has been deployed off the coast of California to support maritime domain awareness operations for the U.S. Coast Guard, marking a key operational milestone as the company transitions its autonomous offshore infrastructure into active mission support.

The PowerBuoy® platform is designed to deliver persistent offshore power, communications, and sensor integration, enabling long-endurance maritime surveillance and security operations. Operating autonomously for extended periods, the system supports continuous monitoring of maritime environments.

By providing reliable offshore energy and communications capabilities, the platform enables advanced sensors and data collection technologies, enhancing situational awareness for government and defense customers.

The deployment is expected to support ongoing maritime monitoring as part of broader efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to strengthen coastal and offshore security. Additional PowerBuoy systems are planned under the program, forming a networked offshore monitoring capability designed to deliver real-time maritime domain awareness.
