About Ocean Aero
Triton is a 14-foot autonomous vessel that changes between surface sailing and submerged gliding. A retractable sail supports solar generation and communications at the surface, while the vehicle folds into a lower-signature underwater form for subsurface sensing. A roughly 35 kWh energy system and renewable charging support missions lasting more than 30 days.
Payload bays accept acoustic, optical, environmental and communications equipment for maritime-domain awareness, anti-submarine sensing and ocean survey. Two people can launch or recover the vehicle, while one operator supervises several Tritons through a common interface. Four systems were transferred to the Philippines in 2026 through a US security-assistance programme, adding persistent surface and subsurface sensing to regional maritime operations.

- 2026-06-23 - Market Signal - U.S. transfers four Ocean Aero Triton AUSVs to Philippine Navy
The handover took place at Naval Operating Base Subic on 22 June 2026. The four Triton systems are valued at about 754M Philippine pesos, or roughly $13M. Triton can operate on the surface using solar and wind power and submerge for underwater missions.
