In an ever-expanding competitive battlespace, materials innovation is critical to maintaining strategic superiority in the undersea domain. CET is redefining unmanned vehicle mission duration and capability by developing and integrating UUV hull structures, systems, and pressure vessels out of carbon fiber, using both traditional and additive manufacturing methods and techniques.
Our precision-engineered buoyancy foam enhances the performance and stability of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) at extreme depths. Using advanced materials, we create custom foam solutions that deliver reliability in harsh ocean environments. Whether for research, commercial exploration, or defense, our foam is crafted to perform under the most challenging underwater conditions.
Through comprehensive engineering studies conducted in partnership with the College of Engineering at the University of Rhode Island, CET has developed engineering models to optimize the fabrication of underwater carbon fiber pressure vessels. These models have been validated through testing at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) Hydrostatic Test Facility.
Our decades-long legacy of boatbuilding continues to inform our occasional and highly curated marine research and development projects. From electric propulsion to foiling technology and beyond, our portfolio of sea-going surface vehicles continues to grow, and break boundaries. Each new innovation is designed with sustainability and performance in mind, pushing the limits of marine technology.
