DarkWake™ by Poseidon’s Forge redefines what an AUV can do. Built around a flooded hull design with active ballasting and smart propulsion, DarkWake™ maintains precise depth and seabed station-keeping - delivering energy efficiency and acoustic discretion conventional platforms can’t match. Its rapid payload swap and field-repair architecture means less downtime and more mission time, wherever the ocean takes you. Whether conducting long-duration surveys, environmental monitoring, or persistent seabed observation, DarkWake™ stays down longer, works smarter, and adapts faster.
