Ocean Infinity Royal Navy Atlantic Net programme, Digi Mart USA News: Ocean Infinity has been selected as the Royal Navy’s Commercial Mission Partner for Atlantic Net, a significant programme that will deliver a new persistent anti-submarine warfare and underwater surveillance capability in the North Atlantic.
The appointment marks a major milestone for Ocean Infinity and reflects the scale and capability the company has built. Over more than a decade, Ocean Infinity has pioneered the use of robotics at sea, using technology and operational expertise to fundamentally change how complex maritime operations are delivered.
Atlantic Net will bring that approach to anti-submarine warfare. It represents a major shift in how persistent underwater surveillance can be delivered, moving towards a model built around autonomous, uncrewed and lean-crewed systems, advanced sensors, AI and data.
As the first operational pillar of the Royal Navy’s wider Atlantic Bastion programme, Atlantic Net will strengthen undersea awareness and support the protection of critical maritime infrastructure.
Ocean Infinity’s role will focus on making that new model work in sustained operations. Working with specialist partners, the company will bring together the technology, data and maritime expertise needed to deliver a persistent operational capability in the North Atlantic over the long term.
Joe Robinson, President of Solutions at Ocean Infinity, said: “The Royal Navy has been exploring how to move beyond traditional, heavily crewed fleets towards a broader mix of robotic and lean-crewed platforms. Atlantic Net is that idea coming to life.
It is a significant step forward in how naval capability can be delivered, using uncrewed and autonomous systems at a scale that has not been seen before.”
Robinson added: “Being selected for Atlantic Net reflects the confidence customers have in our ability to deliver complex, technology-led programmes, building on the credibility Ocean Infinity has established over the past ten years.”
Atlantic Net will put Ocean Infinity’s model into sustained operational use at significant scale, marking a fundamental shift in how anti-submarine warfare operations can be delivered.
The award will also support continued investment in Ocean Infinity’s people and technology across its UK and international teams, strengthening the company’s growing role in defence and national security.
