Ocean Infinity has been selected as the Royal Navy’s Commercial Mission Partner for Atlantic Net, a programme intended to deliver persistent anti-submarine warfare and underwater surveillance capability in the North Atlantic. The company will work with specialist partners to bring together technology, data and maritime expertise for sustained operations. Atlantic Net is the first operational pillar of the Royal Navy’s wider Atlantic Bastion programme and is intended to strengthen undersea awareness and help protect critical maritime infrastructure.
The programme signals a move towards persistent surveillance using autonomous, uncrewed and lean-crewed systems, advanced sensors, AI and data, rather than relying solely on traditional heavily crewed fleets. Ocean Infinity said its role is to make this operating model work at scale over the long term. The selection builds on the company’s more than decade-long use of maritime robotics and, according to Ocean Infinity President of Solutions Joe Robinson, reflects customer confidence in its ability to deliver complex, technology-led programmes.
Atlantic Net will put Ocean Infinity’s model into sustained operational use at significant scale. The award will also support continued investment in the company’s people and technology across its UK and international teams. The source does not disclose a delivery schedule, contract value, specific systems or sensors, or the identities of the specialist partners; these details remain unresolved.
