Ocean Power (OPT) has been awarded a second-stage contract by the US Navy to provide an autonomous PowerBuoy wave energy conversion system for the navy’s anti-terrorism and maritime surveillance programme.

Under the $2.75m one-year contract, OPT will build and ocean-test the US Navy’s littoral expeditionary autonomous PowerBuoy (LEAP) system off the coast of New Jersey.

OPT has successfully completed delivery of the design and testing of a new power take-off system for its autonomous PowerBuoy as part of the $15m first stage contract.

The system is expected to provide protection for critical infrastructure, drug traffic interdiction and detection of surface and subsurface maritime threats.
