  • A valuable week for the Cellula Robotics team across Navy Leaders CNE and the Canadian Technology Accelerators | Accélerateurs technologiques canadiens Trade Mission in Germany. Across both engagements, the conversation around maritime autonomy was practical, urgent and focused on delivery. In the undersea domain, persistence is not achieved through one vehicle, sensor or software layer alone. It depends on systems that can work together: long-endurance AUVs, seabed sensing, acoustic communications, fuel cell power, mission control, flexible payloads, operator training and strong partners. It also depends on understanding the realities of deployment. Distance, infrastructure, data, interoperability, support and training all shape whether a capability can move from demonstration to operational use. For Cellula, this is where our focus continues to be: building practical undersea systems that help customers detect, inspect and protect in real operating environments. Our growth in the US and UK reflects that same commitment. It is about being closer to customers and partners, strengthening delivery, and making proven subsea capability easier to access, integrate and support. Next week, we’ll continue these conversations at Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) CANSEC with Canada’s defence and security community. If you are attending, connect with our team on Booth 2110 to discuss practical approaches to undersea persistence, critical infrastructure protection and long-endurance AUV operations. In maritime autonomy, credibility is not built by ambition alone. It is built by delivery. #CNE2026 #CANSEC2026 #MaritimeDefence #AUV #SubseaSecurity #OceanTechnology #CriticalUnderseaInfrastructure #UnderseaAutonomy #MaritimeSecurity

  • The future of maritime autonomy will not be delivered by platforms alone. It will depend on systems that can be demonstrated, integrated, deployed, supported, and adapted over time. That is why Cellula Robotics’ long-term collaboration with Metron Inc. matters. For customers, the value is not only in the vehicle. It is in the confidence that the wider capability can evolve with operational need.

  • It starts by treating critical undersea infrastructure protection as an awareness problem, not simply a vehicle problem. In a new article, Richard Mills, Chief Commercial Officer at Cellula Robotics, explains why COTS, dual-use AUVs, seabed sensor nodes, acoustic networks, and long-endurance systems need to be considered as part of one practical architecture. AUVs can extend situational awareness. Seabed sensor nodes can remain in situ for passive monitoring. Acoustic networks can support faster cueing and alerts. Long-endurance capability can reduce recovery cycles and enable more flexible mission planning. The value comes when these systems work together to help operators detect, inspect, and protect what matters below the surface. The question is no longer whether underwater persistence is desirable. It is how quickly we can deliver it in a way operators can trust.

  • In defence autonomy, performance is only part of the question. The bigger question is whether a system can be integrated, supported and trusted over time. That is why Cellula Robotics and Metron Inc.'s 10-year partnership matters. The partnership supports the development and delivery of long-endurance autonomous maritime systems, bringing together complementary expertise across subsea engineering, AUVs, autonomy, mission planning and operationally relevant delivery. Complex maritime requirements are rarely solved by a single technology in isolation. They require systems that work together. Partners that understand the mission. And capability that can move from demonstration to deployment. Read more: https://ow.ly/utRL50Z1FUB #MaritimeDefence #AutonomousSystems #AUV #Partnerships #SubseaTechnology #CNE2026

    Integer and Cellula Robotics Ltd. have signed an MOU to advance adaptive mission assurance for long-range multi-vehicle undersea operations. The partnership will explore how our DIGIT COMMAND operator software can integrate with Cellula’s Nexus mission control software for advanced #UUV platforms – supporting enhanced operator awareness, adaptive tasking, and mission confidence in communications-constrained environments.  “𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘭𝘢’𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘋𝘐𝘎𝘐𝘛 𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘕𝘋’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

  • This week at Navy Leaders CNE, Cellula Robotics will be focused on one of the central challenges in maritime defence: How do we create more persistent awareness below the surface? For critical undersea infrastructure, episodic inspection creates episodic awareness. A more persistent approach will require systems that bring together long-endurance AUVs, seabed sensor nodes, acoustic communications, payload deployment, periodic inspection and trusted mission support. If you are attending CNE and would like to discuss subsea maritime domain awareness, underwater persistence or critical undersea infrastructure protection, connect with the Cellula team at Stand D40. #CNE2026 #MaritimeDefence #COTS #AUV #SubseaSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure

  • There is a practical route to underwater persistence. It starts with using proven systems intelligently. For critical undersea infrastructure protection, commercial-off-the-shelf dual-use technology can help accelerate useful capability by combining AUVs, seabed sensor nodes, acoustic communications and mission support into deployable architectures. That is the focus of Richard Mills’ CNE presentation: Delivering Underwater Persistence Using COTS Products 20 May 2026 | 14:10–14:35 | Theatre E If you are attending #CNE2026 and want to discuss underwater persistence, long-endurance AUVs or seabed awareness for critical undersea infrastructure protection, book a briefing with the Cellula team or stop by Booth D40: https://ow.ly/OaIH50YZuQG #MaritimeDefence #COTS #AUV #SubseaSecurity #CriticalUnderseaInfrastructure

  • Autonomous Underwater Vehicles can support many individual tasks including survey, change and object detection, and payload deployment. To optimize their role as force multipliers, AUVs work best as part of a wider, cohesive system. For persistent subsea awareness, no single technology, sensor, or platform can solve all of the challenges. A systematic approach connects these technologies in an architecture to deliver persistent capability: • seabed sensor nodes • passive acoustic monitoring • acoustic mesh networks • low-latency alerts • periodic inspection missions • operational support and mission planning That is the difference between a vehicle conversation and a capability conversation. For critical undersea infrastructure protection, the question is not simply: “Which AUV?” The better question is: What combination of systems helps us detect, inspect and protect what matters below the surface? If you are attending Navy Leaders #CNE2026 or #CANSEC2026 and want to discuss underwater persistence, COTS AUVs or seabed awareness for defence and critical undersea infrastructure protection, our team would be glad to connect.

  • For critical undersea infrastructure, episodic inspection creates episodic awareness. The operational challenge is becoming clearer: how do we build more persistent awareness below the surface using systems that can be deployed, integrated and trusted? That is the focus Cellula Robotics will bring to CNE. For subsea security, the requirement is not theoretical. Operators need to detect activity, inspect when something changes and protect assets that are difficult to access, difficult to monitor and increasingly important to national security. That requires more than a single platform. It requires long-endurance AUVs, seabed sensor nodes, acoustic communications, payload flexibility and support models that can scale. That is the thinking behind Cellula’s Detect. Inspect. Protect. approach. If you are attending CNE and would like to discuss underwater persistence, COTS AUVs or seabed awareness, our team would be glad to connect.

    Endurance changes the operating model. For AUVs, the value of longer endurance is not just distance. It is the ability to plan missions with fewer interruptions and greater flexibility. That matters across survey, environmental assessment, defence and critical undersea infrastructure protection. Cellula’s work in long-endurance autonomy is focused on practical mission value: systems that can go further, stay longer and support more persistent subsea operations. #AUV #Endurance #SubseaOperations #OceanTechnology #MarineAutonomy
