MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: OPTT), a leader in intelligent maritime systems and ocean energy solutions, today announced a partnership with Mythos AI to integrate advanced AI-driven autonomy software across OPT’s fleet of WAM-V® Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) and PowerBuoy® platforms.
This collaboration is designed to enhance OPT’s operational capabilities and accelerate the range of integrated solutions the company can deliver to customers in defense, security, and commercial sectors while expanding OPT’s addressable market by strengthening its position in the fast growing autonomous and intelligent systems domain. OPT believes that the combination of OPT’s proven ocean platforms and systems integration expertise with Mythos AI’s advanced autonomy architecture will enable greater endurance, adaptability, and mission versatility at sea. OPT now offers a complete autonomy ecosystem including hardware, power, and AI software.
"This partnership should strengthen our ability to deliver high-performance autonomous maritime systems that are flexible, scalable, and ready for real-world missions," said Philipp Stratmann, President and CEO of Ocean Power Technologies. "By integrating Mythos AI’s autonomy framework, we believe OPT will accelerate how quickly and broadly we can deploy advanced capabilities for our customers, without limiting the openness of our platforms or our ability to customize solutions."
Under the agreement, OPT and Mythos AI will integrate the autonomy stack into OPT’s existing WAM-V® fleet, with initial demonstrations scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. The systems will leverage real-time edge processing, multi-sensor fusion, and adaptive learning for enhanced situational awareness, obstacle avoidance, multi-vehicle coordination, and, in later phases, advanced vehicle-buoy collaboration.
"Mythos AI is excited to collaborate with OPT to push the boundaries of intelligent autonomy on the water," said Geoff Douglass, CEO of Mythos AI. "OPT’s robust, field-proven platforms provide an exceptional foundation to showcase how software-driven autonomy can transform maritime operations."
This partnership supports OPT’s broader strategy to deliver modular, persistent, and intelligent systems that integrate power, autonomy, and communications, helping customers operate more efficiently, safely, and sustainably in complex maritime environments.
