Ocean Connector: Exploring the Future of Distributed Sonar Operations

Traditionally, analyzing sonar data for underwater detection has required dedicated operators at sea onboard the platform. Distributed sonar operations are changing this by enabling remote analysis from almost anywhere in the world—opening up new possibilities for flexibility and efficiency in maritime operations.

Join us in welcoming Mark Thibodeau, Director of Sonar Systems at General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada, for an engaging session on the innovative technology behind this shift. Mark will explore how edge processing, open architecture networks, and collaboration between crewed and uncrewed systems are transforming underwater detection and tracking capabilities.

This session offers a fascinating look at how technology is reshaping maritime operations and the opportunities it creates for the future.

Special thanks to our founding partner, Irving Shipbuilding Inc., for their continued support of the Ocean Connector series.
