Strikepod Edge™

Undersea warfare is undergoing a profound transformation.

Unmanned, autonomous systems are poised to redefine the nature of war beneath the waves, and their deployment in the opaque undersea domain will unfold in ways that have yet to be imagined.

Since 2016, Strikepod Systems has been monitoring the rapid evolution of Unmanned Undersea Systems (UUS), Undersea Warfare, and Subsea/Seabed warfare (SSW), equipping defense, policy, and intelligence customers with the creative insights and analyses they need to anticipate the threats and opportunties of autonomous undersea conflict.

We can help you navigate the challenges ahead.

Strikepod Edge™ is a premium service providing defense, intelligence, and policy customers with comprehensive sector coverage, including:

• Platforms, payloads, procurements, CONOPs, industry trends, and scientific research.

• The design, development, and deployment of underwater sensor, communication, energy, data, and vehicle technologies, as well as the machine learning and artificial intelligence that will drive autonomous operations.

• The convergence of mines, torpedoes, and UUVs, and the evolution of mine warfare in an era of renewed strategic competition.

• The strategic, operational, and tactical employment of UUS, including their integration into joint warfighting concepts and emerging operating models such as Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO).

• The implications of unmanned undersea operations for the current strategic environment, from great power competition, to rogue and nonstate threats, to the gray zone.
