Ocean Power unveils major upgrade to Merrows MDAS

Ocean Power (OPTT) Technologies announced a major upgrade to its AI-capable Merrows Maritime Domain Awareness Solution, MDAS. The updated system expands its role as an ISR node-enabling enhanced maritime domain awareness and autonomous collaboration across surface, subsurface, and aerial platforms. The company said, “Built with mission-driven design, Merrows now delivers faster performance, greater stability, and improved security-empowering operators to maintain a persistent watch in contested or remote environments. The system’s expanded flexibility also allows multiple users to monitor the same or different assets simultaneously, while new integration pathways make it easier to fuse third-party feeds such as global AIS, weather data, and advanced mapping tools.”
