Ocean Power Technologies and Mythos AI Join Forces to Advance Autonomous Maritime Innovations
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: OPTT), a leader in ocean energy solutions and intelligent maritime systems, has announced a strategic partnership with Mythos AI to integrate cutting-edge AI-driven autonomy software into OPT’s fleet of WAM-V® Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) and PowerBuoy® platforms.
This collaboration aims to elevate OPT’s operational capabilities and expand its portfolio of integrated solutions for defense, security, and commercial markets. By combining OPT’s proven ocean platforms and systems integration expertise with Mythos AI’s advanced autonomy architecture, the partnership is set to deliver enhanced endurance, adaptability, and mission versatility at sea. The integration will position OPT as a key player in the rapidly growing autonomous and intelligent systems sector, offering a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware, power, and AI software.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver high-performance autonomous maritime systems that are flexible, scalable, and mission-ready,” said Philipp Stratmann, President and CEO of Ocean Power Technologies. “By incorporating Mythos AI’s autonomy framework, we can accelerate the deployment of advanced capabilities for our customers while maintaining the openness and customizability of our platforms.”
As part of the agreement, OPT and Mythos AI will integrate the autonomy stack into OPT’s existing WAM-V® fleet, with initial demonstrations planned for Q1 2026. The systems will feature real-time edge processing, multi-sensor fusion, and adaptive learning to enhance situational awareness, obstacle avoidance, multi-vehicle coordination, and, in later phases, advanced vehicle-buoy collaboration.
“Mythos AI is thrilled to partner with OPT to redefine intelligent autonomy on the water,” said Geoff Douglass, CEO of Mythos AI. “OPT’s robust, field-tested platforms provide an ideal foundation to demonstrate how software-driven autonomy can revolutionize maritime operations.”
This partnership aligns with OPT’s broader mission to deliver modular, persistent, and intelligent systems that integrate power, autonomy, and communications. These solutions aim to help customers operate more efficiently, safely, and sustainably in complex maritime environments.
