Integer and Cellula Robotics Partner for UUV Mission Assurance

"...It “is not helpful” when different autonomous systems are unable to work together because they can’t share their data"....

Behind every breakthrough in underwater autonomy is a team capable of delivering it. We Recently welcomed Michael Booysen as the Scientific Director to our team. Michael is a subsea autonomy specialist and AUV systems architect with more than a decade of experience delivering advanced underwater robotics, survey solutions, and next generation inspection technologies. His career spans deep involvement in AUV development, supervised and fully autonomous operations, multi-sensor fusion, and the integration of cutting-edge navigation, imaging, and communication systems across both commercial and R&D platforms. 

Today, Lockheed Martin Martin announced a $25 M investment in Fortem Technologies. This strategic partnership deepens our existing commercial relationship and will deliver an integrated, turnkey C‑UAS solution that meets our customers’ urgent demand for rapidly fieldable capabilities. By combining Fortem’s cutting‑edge AI‑driven technology with Lockheed Martin’s system‑engineering and integration expertise—including integration with Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum™—we’re creating a scalable, deterrent capability that stays ahead of the evolving drone threat. Together, we’re accelerating innovation and delivering unmatched deterrence for the missions that matter most. #C_UAS #AI #StrategicPartnership #LockheedMartin #FortemTechnologies Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eXBVgMiC

New innovations such as a system using a SIROM for Tool Exchange and the Multi-Purpose Tool offered robots the flexibility to adapt to different tasks.

While the three major players—NEOLIX, Zelos, and Rino.ai—currently lead in deployment scale, the ultimate outcome will never be a monopolistic dominance by a single entity, but rather a mutually beneficial ecosystem where each player leverages its strengths: some excel in vehicle manufacturing, others specialize in transportation capacity, some focus on energy supply, and still others are adept at urban governance. Thus, whoever possesses a more comprehensive ecosystem holds the “ballast stone” to navigate cyclical fluctuations. https://lnkd.in/gwqwGEyp

Oceaneering continues to push boundaries, combining robotics, autonomy, and digital solutions to solve complex challenges across energy, aerospace, and beyond.

I get asked a lot “What is Oceaneering and what are they doing inside of my factory or DC?” This is Oceaneering, an organization focused on solving problems for your operation, so you can focus on your core business. I see many colleagues and technologies in this video that across the board are introducing new ways to provide solutions to their customers and this is what we do. A little look on what goes on behind the scenes!!!

Solving complex challenges—from the deep subsea to outer space. During OTC week, we welcomed nearly 200 customers and collaborators to our High Bay facility in Houston for our Technology Open House. Across 50+ technologies spanning five business units, attendees experienced how we deliver integrated solutions across industries—from offshore and onshore energy to aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing. A highlight of the day: our interactive “passport” journey—guiding visitors through innovations in subsea robotics, digital integrity solutions, autonomous systems, space technologies, and more. 🎥 Hear from Daniel Vela, VP, Offshore Projects Group – Americas, and see how we’re helping customers solve their most complex challenges. #OTC2026 #Innovation #Subsea #Energy #Robotics #Aerospace #DigitalTransformation

What stood out to me in Ondas’ latest update is less about the numbers and more about what they signal from a market adoption standpoint. Robotic ground systems, unmanned aircraft, propulsion solutions, demining, and engineering systems are moving from “advanced capability” to practical infrastructure. That shift matters. In markets like defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure, buying behavior is changing. Customers are not just looking for standalone hardware anymore. They want integrated systems, reliability in the field, easier deployment, and a clear operational use case. That creates a very different marketing challenge. The companies that win attention here are not the ones with the most futuristic language. They are the ones that can explain complex technology in simple operational terms: what problem it solves, how it fits into existing workflows, and why teams can trust it under pressure. For me, this is the bigger story around robotics and autonomous systems right now. The category is maturing, and the messaging has to mature with it. Less hype. More proof. More clarity. More relevance to the people actually using the technology.
