SubCtech GmbH “Subsea Technologies for the Marine

Environment” is the producer of Li-Ion PowerPacks and

OceanPack measurement systems used for scienti? c re- search and industrial monitoring of water quality and ocean- ographic parameters. In particular, the Oil & Gas Offshore industry requires increasingly autonomous systems for greater depths, like large Energy Storage Systems with 2

MWh of energy. Complete systems are projected together

SubCtech offers underwater power solutions and ocean with data loggers and the implementation of sensors. Proj- monitoring systems. It provides solutions in close collabora- ects in depths of up to 6000m are realized in the division tion with our clients in science and in industries such as off- of “Ocean Monitoring” with the adaptation of sensors for shore Oil+Gas.

San Diego-based SubSeaSail (SSS) is a seven-year-old Blu- eTech company developing disruptively affordable Autono- mous Undersea & Surface Vehicles (AUSVs) that will be able to function above and below water down to 100 meters for extended periods of time. The semi-submersible, mono- hull OBSERVATION vessel called HORUS (TRL 7) is an ultra-quiet vehicle ideal for Passive Acoustic Monitoring and

ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) sen- sors. The HERMES multi-hull, trimaran cargo vessel (TRL 5-6) will be able to deliver cargo and/or energy to the beach or harbor and represent secure, offshore, underwater stor- age, as needed. Depending on its size and wind conditions,

HERMES will represent a fast ISR platform sailing at 5-15 kts. Both will be ultra-low-signature (negligible sound, heat, radar, visual and wake), edge-computing vehicles that will represent distributed AI-nodes across the ocean. The vehicles have been developed partially with funding from US Gov- tive Oct. 1, 2024, SSS will be in a much bigger facility as it ernment agencies (including Dept. of Energy and National adds to its team preparing the HORUS vehicle for contract

Science Foundation) and additional USG funding is pend- manufacturing to answer market demand including strong ing. As of September 2024, the vehicles are protected by 11 DoD interest and to further develop the HERMES line. SSS issued Patents, 7 Patents Pending with more patents to be is looking for well-connected channel partners globally and ? led. The current HERMES prototype trimaran represents for manufacturers of ultra-low SWaP (Size, Weight, and the ? rst-ever self-righting, autonomous multihull vehicle by Power) sensors that can submerge to 100 meters for long pe- submerging and righting itself underwater (patented).
