Spotter Scout is a solar-powered autonomous ocean sensor for real-time ocean monitoring. Station-keep, transit, or drift — no moorings, no depth limits.

AI-enabled passive acoustic monitoring for marine protected area monitoring, maritime domain awareness, and ocean surveillance. Real-time underwater detection via Spotter.

Complete technical specs for Spotter Scout USV: vessel dimensions, power systems, navigation, sensing capabilities, and maintenance requirements.

Sofar's Spotter is a modular ocean buoy sensor for real-time ocean monitoring — wave data, wind, temperature, and more. Deploy anywhere, transmit globally via satellite.

Traditional voyage optimization and weather routing providers share the same blind spot: insufficient weather intelligence.

Sofar's Spotter Platform was a top-performing solution in a peer-reviewed field comparison of multiple wave buoys.

The page explains differences between types of ocean currents, why they are important, and how to track them.

Help build the world's leading ocean data platform and global ocean sensor network. Sofar Ocean is hiring engineers, scientists, and operators across hardware and software.

Many marine professionals are moving away from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) and other legacy current measurement solutions in favor of Sofar’s Spotter Platform.

In a 24-day field comparison, Sofar’s Spotter Platform made observations of subsurface current speed and direction that were nearly identical to those made by an ADCP, the industry standard.

Sofar Ocean provides ocean climate data and global ocean observation network access to support maritime emissions reduction and a more sustainable future.

Sofar Ocean offers real-time ocean monitoring, marine weather routing, ocean sensor deployment, and Wayfinder voyage optimization.

Sofar Ocean is the leading ocean intelligence platform, closing the data gap for better predictability and outcomes.
