Underwater Acoustics

Sound is the only reliable long-range information carrier in the ocean. Powered by our own hardware, software and data, we deliver advanced modelling, measurement and signal processing capabilities for noise assessment, operational awareness and maritime security. Built for a world of tightening regulations and rising geopolitical complexity.
About Underwater Acoustics

We don't just measure sound. We characterise, model, process and localise it.

Traditional acoustic studies are costly, slow and constrained by manual analysis. We automate it by combining high-performance computing, modelling and AI trained on thousands of hours of real ocean data.

Among our tools is RAINDROP, our open-source Python framework for real-time underwater acoustic mapping. Built around validated acoustic propagation solvers, it automates the ingestion of environmental inputs and delivers end-to-end noise maps with minimal friction, deployed in NATO exercises and offshore wind projects.

As the subsea environment becomes strategically critical, understanding and controlling underwater sound is no longer optional; it is operationally essential.
