Technology
The Engine of the Maritime Constellation.
The xNode is a survivable, autonomous wave-powered modular form engineered top provide persistent power and data in the most demanding ocean environments.
xNode is the only compact, submersible wave energy system purpose-built for persistent AUV charging and defense applications, with Navy-validated performance at TRL 6-7.
Engineered for Autonomy and Survivability.
The xNode is the result of years of rigorous engineering and at-sea testing.
Designed for long-duration, autonomous deployments, it harvests energy
from ocean waves to power mission payloads.

xNode Proto.
The AUV/UUV Charging Module provides both inductive (wireless) and conductive (docked) charging capabilities. It acts as a forward-deployed charging station, enabling persistent, long-duration missions for autonomous underwater vehicles and eliminating the need for costly surface recovery.
In Development
xNode Proto (Defence)
The Sensor Array Power Module is a versatile power and data hub for a wide range of third-party sensors. It provides the stable, continuous power required for acoustic arrays, environmental sensors, cameras, and other ISR payloads, with high-bandwidth data backhaul.
Planned
xNode Proto (Environmental)
The Edge Processing & Communications Module brings data processing to the maritime edge. It features an onboard processor for real-time analytics and supports multiple communications pathways, including satellite (Iridium/Starlink) and cellular (LTE/5G), for robust, seabed-to-satellite connectivity.
Efficient and Robust Power Generation.
At the heart of the xNode is a proprietary, high-efficiency wave energy converter. Designed for continuous operation across a wide range of sea states, with a direct-drive system that minimizes moving parts.
Smart, Autonomous Power.
The xNode’s onboard controller intelligently manages power generation, storage, and distribution. It prioritizes mission-critical systems and optimizes charging cycles for maximum uptime.
Built for the Harshest Environments.
The xNode is engineered to not just survive, but thrive in extreme conditions. Its ability
to autonomously submerge during catastrophic weather ensures platform and payload protection.
