About us

At Arkeocean, we are convinced that swarms of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are the future of ocean exploration. Since our inception in 2009, we have become the pioneer and leader in delivering turnkey swarm systems comprised of hundreds and one day soon, thousands of micro-AUVs. Today, we work with our customers in the Defense, Energy and Environmental sectors to deliver solutions that are disrupting their industries.

The benefits of using swarms of micro-AUVs:

  • A swarm of AUVs enables our customers to finally explore large areas simultaneously delivering a 3D acoustic situational awareness of the water column. We finally have a tool that is adapted to the vastness of the ocean (which has not been the case so far).
  • Our micro-AUVs are very discreet, even in numbers. This makes them extremely hard to detect by conventional methods, which is perfect for defense missions, to gather intelligence and for surveillance missions.
  • Swarms operate at a much lower operational costs than existing solutions on the market. They are more agile, smaller and require less equipment and personnel to operate. One of our customers even reported a -30%  saving compared to their usual operational costs, saving them millions per mission.
  • Our AUVs are more environmentally friendly. They use the current to their advantage, saving battery power and will soon be able to charge using solar powered underwater docking stations which we are currently developing.

We are passionate about advancing underwater exploration through swarms.

We value passion, simplicity, creativity, innovation and agility. We are passionate creators at heart and make a point of inventing simple solutions for our customers. Our small size enables us to be agile and nimble and to rapidly develop and market innovative solutions.

As a team, our purpose is to push the boundaries of imagination for underwater exploration.

We are firmly anchored on both coasts in France and are proud members of the GICAN, Région Sud, Pôle Mer Méditerranée, Région Bretagne and Pôle Mer Bretagne- Atlantique.
