It operates on solar power and garners attention as a means of mitigating global warming. It carries payloads such as sonar systems, water samplers, electronic warfare equipment, water temperature sensors, weather stations, HF radios, and underwater cameras and is portable enough to reach remote areas. The solar deck can be monitored or controlled from anywhere using cell and satellite communications. Seasats generates revenue by selling and operating autonomous surface vessels and data services for defense, research, and commercial maritime customers. The company will use the January 2026 funding to expand production, open new facilities, add product lines, and hire staff to meet growing demand.
