Overview
Oshen builds fleets of autonomous wind- and solar-powered ocean robots called C-Stars that collect persistent wide-area ocean intelligence. The 1-metre hand-deployable USVs operate individually or in constellations, transmitting real-time met-ocean data via satellite. Founded in 2022 in Plymouth, UK, Oshen's C-Stars became the first uncrewed surface vehicles to collect data from inside a Category 5 hurricane, and have logged 200+ continuous days at sea across 2,000+ nautical miles. The company holds contracts with NOAA, the UK Ministry of Defence, Met Office, Météo-France, and the US Navy.
Clean safety record across 2 verified deployments. Limited public funding data for capital position assessment.
