Ocean Power Technologies demonstrates WAM-V drone in U.S. Army Corps surf-zone trials
OPTT•WAM-V joins Army Corps surf-zone testing
Ocean Power Technologies joined a week-long U.S. Army Corps surf-zone test of its WAM-V maritime drone in live coastal conditions.
ERDC is evaluating platforms for bathymetric mapping, submerged-hazard detection, and surf-zone transit through breaking waves, currents, and coastal inlets.
WAM-V features articulating suspension for stability in waves and a modular payload architecture for hydrographic sensing missions.
The program signals a research and development validation opportunity; participation does not represent a U.S. government procurement contract or funding commitment.
