Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone for the company: OPT has been officially recognized as one of the initial certified operators under the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International Trusted UMS Operator Program. This designation places OPT among the first wave of companies acknowledged for meeting stringent standards in the safe and proficient operation of uncrewed maritime systems. Stratmann emphasized that this recognition is not just symbolic but a powerful validation of the company’s commitment to excellence in autonomous maritime operations. The Trusted UMS Operator Program was created by AUVSI in partnership with key industry stakeholders to set a unified benchmark for safety, training, and operational consistency across the rapidly evolving domain of uncrewed systems. The program responds to growing demand from government, defense, and commercial clients for a standardized, transparent framework to evaluate the qualifications of operators who deploy autonomous technologies in complex and sometimes hazardous marine environments. By becoming one of the inaugural certified operators, OPT has aligned itself with a select group of companies that are shaping the future of autonomous maritime solutions. This is especially relevant as demand accelerates for uncrewed systems that support missions such as offshore surveillance, environmental monitoring, maritime domain awareness, and subsea infrastructure inspection. In addition, Stratmann shared with Proactive, the company announced that it has completed its first WAM-V® 22 sea trials for a customer with substantial operations in Sub Saharan Africa. The sea trials were carried out at OPT’s newly permitted test site in Southern New Jersey following site visits and operational reviews by the US Coast Guard. The sea trials, for a major specialized offshore services customer, was able to be completed at the company’s newly permitted test site. This now enables OPT to us to test year-round on either coast, making it easier for customers to receive their products and further decreasing the time from booking to revenue recognition. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #OffshoreAutonomy, #MaritimeSecurity, #CommercialPlatforms, #GrowthStrategy, #BuoyBusiness, #VehicleBusiness, #InternationalExpansion, #ReadyToDeploy #AutonomousVehicles #MaritimeTech #CleanEnergySolutions #AUVSI #SustainableTechnology #MarineInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #UncrewedSystems #GlobalExpansion
