Boeing, Liquid Robotics zero in on maritime security
Boeing and Liquid Robotics have announced plans to collaborate on the development of maritime surveillance solutions, with the signing of a global, multi-year teaming agreement by the companies announced on 23 September.
The agreement will see the companies jointly develop total integrated solutions for anti-submarine warfare, maritime domain awareness and other maritime defence applications. The work will include product development, maritime services and operational deployments.
Solutions will bring together Boeing’s work developing and fielding multi-layered intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance solutions and Liquid Robotics’ autonomous ocean technology.
Chris Chadwick, president and CEO, Boeing Defense, Space & Security, said: ‘It’s a great opportunity to partner with Liquid Robotics to provide new and existing customers a unique portfolio of defence solutions and capabilities. This relationship allows the Boeing-Liquid Robotics team to solve maritime security and surveillance challenges in entirely new and highly effective ways and provides unprecedented capability and value to customers worldwide.’
Gary Gysin, president and CEO, Liquid Robotics, added: ‘We look forward to teaming with Boeing to expand domestic and international opportunities that combine Boeing’s expertise in aircraft systems and integrated defence solutions with Liquid Robotics’ expertise in persistent unmanned ocean vehicles. Together, Boeing and Liquid Robotics will provide customers an integrated, seafloor-to-space capability for long duration maritime defence.’
