Boeing Defense, Space & Security has signed a teaming agreement with Liquid Robotics for the development of maritime surveillance products and services. The multi-year deal will focus primarily on solutions for anti-submarine warfare, maritime domain awareness and other defense applications. "It's a great opportunity to partner with Liquid Robotics to provide new and existing customers a unique portfolio of defense solutions and capabilities," said Chris Chadwick, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. "This relationship allows the Boeing-Liquid Robotics team to solve maritime security and surveillance challenges in entirely new and highly effective ways and provides unprecedented capability and value to customers worldwide." Liquid Robotics is a manufacturer of maritime unmanned vehicles and aims to equip its robotic platforms with sensor payloads. Among its products is Wave Glider, which can gather information on ocean and above-water atmospheric conditions. "We look forward to teaming with Boeing to expand domestic and international opportunities that combine Boeing's expertise in aircraft systems and integrated defense solutions with Liquid Robotics' expertise in persistent unmanned ocean vehicles," said Gary Gysin, president and chief executive officer of Liquid Robotics. "Together, Boeing and Liquid Robotics will provide customers an integrated, seafloor-to-space capability for long duration maritime defense."
