It’s an investment that goes beyond maturing technology.

It will help shape a new vision for the future of marine solu- tions – one that creates cleaner harbors and waterways in the places where we live, work, and visit. So far, the company’s technology has eliminated 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year – the equivalent of planting 4 million trees. If that is any indication of the future, BAE Systems is ready to make quite the splash.
