Maritime C4ISR Integration
A unified mission architecture connecting autonomous platforms, sensors and command systems for faster detection, decision and coordinated response.
PORTUGAL-BASED · AUTONOMOUS MARITIME SYSTEMS
Autonomy for a More Secure Maritime World
We develop and integrate autonomous surface and subsurface systems, and the mission software that connects them, for naval, coastal and critical-infrastructure protection.
WHO WE ARE
Maritime autonomy, built end to end.
A Portugal-based defence technology company developing and integrating autonomous maritime systems for surface and subsurface missions, combining proprietary platforms, partner assets and mission software.
Focused exclusively on the maritime domain: hydrodynamics, endurance, sensing and mission software for persistent awareness, flexible deployment and rapid response.

02 / 06 · ENERGY
Solar-assisted recharge
Photovoltaic arrays support extended endurance through energy harvesting during surfaced operation.
03 / 06 · SENSING
Persistent ISR & reconnaissance
A forward sensor bay carries the apertures for wide-area surveillance and reconnaissance.
04 / 06 · RELAY
Data relay & cueing
The tail boom and pod represent the relay element: data transmission and cueing of response assets.

TRACTION
Industrial Traction & Strategic Validation
Early engagement with established subsea autonomy players.
Cellula Robotics — Advanced Engagement
Stage: Technical Validation → Partnership Structuring
- NDA executed between Cellula Robotics and ElectricWhale
- EW-01 concept technically reviewed by Cellula's team
- In-person working meeting held in Porto — September 10, 2026
- Cellula confirmed interest in exploring collaboration on ElectricWhale platforms and potential contribution to Cellula-led projects
- Founder-level dialogue remains active while contractual structuring awaits ElectricWhale's formal incorporation
✓ NDA✓ Technical Review✓ In-person Meeting→ Partnership Discussion
Next milestone: Partnership and commercial framework definition
Arkeocean — Strategic Interest
Stage: Strategic Dialogue → Technical Exploration
- Meeting held with Tamara Brizard, Co-Founder & CEO of Arkeocean
- EW-01 concept and architecture presented
- Arkeocean expressed interest in the hydrodynamic characteristics and performance potential of the EW-01 concept
- Potential opportunity identified to explore whether Electric Whale's approach could enhance the performance of Arkeocean's autonomous underwater swarm systems
✓ CEO Engagement✓ Strategic Interest→ Technical Review
No formal technical assessment yet — earlier stage than Cellula.
From concept exposure to industrial validation: ElectricWhale is already engaging established subsea autonomy companies before formal incorporation.
