Composite Energy Technologies

iRocket is excited to be contributing to the next generation of autonomous maritime defense! We’re partnering with Composite Energy Technologies and Arnold Defense & Electronics, LLC to build a modular unmanned maritime intervention system that combines autonomous underwater surveillance, passive target detection, precision localization, and low-cost kinetic response. The product integrates CET’s proven underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) platform and advanced passive sensing and target characterization capabilities, Arnold Defense’s battle tested launcher technology, and iRocket’s flight proven suite of rockets and interceptors to enable persistent maritime monitoring while maintaining the ability to rapidly transition from detection to engagement when authorized.   Stay tuned for more updates about the next generation capabilities we’re building up with our partners! Big shoutout to our friends at Sentinel Studios for the amazing work, they’re the best, and this is definitely not the last iRocket x Sentinel collab!

A first-of-its-kind demonstration is advancing autonomous undersea operations. Raytheon and Composite Energy Technologies successfully demonstrated the undersea launch capabilities of HADALUS, a low-cost, long-endurance unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) with more than 2,000 nautical miles of endurance, during a recent US Navy exercise. The milestone marks the first time the Navy has seen this integrated capability in the water—pointing toward a future where a single unmanned platform can detect, reacquire and engage within one mission. From concept to an in-water prototype in less than 18 months, HADALUS demonstrates how rapid design, integration and at-sea experimentation can accelerate autonomous undersea technology to the fleet.

Another week. Another MOU. This time, we're going underwater. VICTUS is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Composite Energy Technologies, a company developing advanced underwater and unmanned subsea capabilities for the future of maritime security. As great power competition increasingly moves below the surface, undersea autonomy, sensing, and domain awareness will become some of the most consequential technologies of the next decade. We're excited to work alongside CET as they help shape the future of the underwater battlespace. More to come. #DefenseTech #NationalSecurity #UUV #AUV #MaritimeSecurity #DualUse #VICTUS

Proud moment at COVE last week. This image captures the launch of the 2026 NATO DIANA cohort—12 companies from Canada, the Netherlands, Iceland, France, and the United States—standing together at the NATO and Canada | Accelerating Technology with Capabilities and Investment event we hosted. It’s more than a group photo. It marks the beginning of a cohort focused on a simple but demanding objective: turning advanced innovation into deployable capability, at pace and at scale. In an era defined by geopolitical uncertainty and rapid technological change, resilience is built by investing early, collaborating deeply, and aligning capital with mission. DIANA exists because innovation ecosystems are a strategic asset. This cohort reflects the strength of transatlantic partnership, the depth of allied talent, and a shared commitment to security, competitiveness, and long-term growth. We look forward to supporting these companies as they move from prototype to operational capability. The work starts now. #DIANA #COVE #NATO #Innovation #DefenceTech #DualUse #AlliedInnovation #Transatlantic #2026Cohort Lux Bio AMPHITRITE ClearDrop | We solve weather related issues for optical devices Hefring Marine Oceano Robotics Composite Energy Technologies HyperKelp Orpheus Ocean StrateSea Technology, Inc VICTUS Technologies, Inc.

Yesterday, COVE brought together leaders from industry, defence, investment, and government for NATO and Canada | Accelerating Technologies with Capabilities and Investment, a timely conversation on the intersection of security, innovation, and capital. A Leadership Dialogue on Aligning Capital and Capability featured Melanie Nadeau, CEO of COVE and Isabelle Hudon, President & CEO of BDC, who explored what BDC’s $4B commitment to Canada’s defence and security ecosystem means for entrepreneurs, the signals it sends to investors, and Canada’s role in NATO’s innovation network. A panel on Rapid Adoption and Commercialization examined how evolving defence priorities are accelerating the journey from innovation to deployment—highlighting both opportunity and the need for alignment across government, industry, and capital. As a Canadian NATO DIANA Accelerator Site, COVE welcomed its 2026 Cohort to Halifax: an international group of innovators advancing autonomous systems, subsea monitoring, maritime situational awareness, and advanced marine technologies. Their work highlights a clear trend: dual-use innovation is now central to allied defence capability, economic resilience, and technological competitiveness. Thank you to our speakers, innovators, partners, and event sponsors—BDC and McInnes Cooper—for driving a forward-looking discussion. COVE remains committed to supporting allied innovators as they validate, scale, and commercialize technologies that matter. #NATO #DIANA #Defence #Innovation #DualUseTech #Commercialization #MarineTech #Canada
