Arkeocean, a French underwater microdrone startup, is at the forefront of a burgeoning niche in maritime surveillance, advocating for the strategic deployment of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) swarms for subsurface intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. By showcasing their Lelantos AUV swarm at the World Defense Show in Saudi Arabia, the company has demonstrated a new approach to monitoring underwater threats through acoustic “signatures.” Successful sea trials with the French Navy have validated the concept, positioning Arkeocean’s technology as a potential game-changer in naval operations by allowing for extended, en masse underwater surveillance capable of persisting for months.
