Technology
The xNode Platform.
Enable true, long-duration autonomous operations for AUVs and UUVs. Use the xNode Charge module to create forward- deployed charging outposts, extending mission duration and eliminating the need or surface recovery.
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.
A Class of Its Own.
Versatile Operational Profile
Signature Management: Deployable with a standard floating profile for visible presence or a stealth configuration for covert monitoring in contested areas.
Rapid Deployment: Engineered for a standard logistical footprint, ensuring the entire system is Conex-compatible for global shipping and autonomous surface vessel deployment.
Persistent Communications & Power
Tri-Band Connectivity: Features redundant data links via Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Satellite for uninterrupted remote operations.
Mission-Ready Power: Delivers continuous payload power of 50–200W, supported by 5kWh of high-density onboard energy storage.
Modular Payload Integration
Universal Interface: Equipped with an internal payload bay, submerged mounting points, and a standard umbilical connection to support a wide array of sensors and autonomous vehicles.
Deployment Versatility: Optimized for installation depths of 15–100m, with custom engineering available for deep-water missions exceeding 100m.
Active
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.
