Explore the forefront of undersea imaging technology at this hybrid qualification demonstration, where selected innovators will showcase high-resolution, real-time seabed imaging systems. These technologies are designed to enhance anomaly detection and infrastructure monitoring with precision. Featuring AI-driven data analysis for rapid object classification and detailed mapping, these systems also support shallow water operations with advanced navigation capabilities.
NETB prize challenge finalists will present their solutions in 15-minute demos, followed by up to 10 minutes of Q&A with a panel of subject matter experts from the US Navy, DoD, and other key federal, academic, and nonprofit partners.
Companies with top-scoring technologies will be awarded approximately $7,500 and will be invited to participate in the culminating in-water experiment event on 28 August 2025. Up to four companies with top-scoring technologies will be awarded a total of $200,000 at the BlueTIDE 2025 event. For more information on BlueTIDE 2025, click here.
Observers can register to attend either in person or virtually. Audience Q&A may be available following the panel discussion, time permitting.
