?? ???????????????? ????????????????-?????????????? ?????????????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????? ????????????? ?????? The Secretary of Defense's latest memorandum underscores a crucial shift: software-defined warfare is now, not the future. To maintain dominance, the DoD must pivot to software-driven capabilities that are flexible, upgradeable, and AI-powered. HydroNet is already leading this transformation in the undersea domain—and beyond. At HydroNet, we have built the first truly software-defined underwater modem and edge platform, designed to bring the flexibility and intelligence of modern digital networks to the challenging subsea environment and to enable multi-domain AI-driven decision-making across underwater, surface, air, and space assets. ?? How Hydronet Delivers on the DoD’s Call for Modern Software Acquisition: ?? Software-Defined & Modular: Hydronet’s modem isn’t locked into hardware limitations—it is fully reconfigurable, enabling real-time waveform adaptation, AI-based optimization, and seamless software updates to counter evolving threats. ?? ?Multi-Modal, Multi-Domain Connectivity:?Our HydroMesh and HydroFi networking technologies link underwater, terrestrial, and satellite communications, ensuring persistent connectivity across domains. ?? Edge AI & Autonomous Adaptation: Hydronet’s edge platform executes AI-driven analytics in real time, reducing operator workload and enabling intelligent, autonomous decision-making for subsea defense, ISR, and unmanned systems. ?? Open & Programmable: Built with open standards and designed for plug-and-play integration, Hydronet ensures interoperability with existing and future defense networks, accelerating deployment timelines. ?? ?Deployed & Battle-Tested: Hydronet has already demonstrated multi-domain networking capabilities in exercises like TRIDENT SPECTRE and Integrated Battle Problem (IBP), providing real-time underwater video streaming, AI-powered signal classification, and adaptive anti-jamming communications. ?? Integrated with Advanced Robotics & AI: Hydronet is working with Liquid Robotics and MIT’s Marine Autonomy Lab to seamlessly integrate autonomous robotics, AI-driven decision-making, and resilient communications—connecting Wave Gliders, UUVs, and AI-powered undersea operations into a single, intelligent system. As the DoD accelerates the adoption of the Software Acquisition Pathway, HydroNet stands ready to bring agile, high-performance, software-defined connectivity to the next generation of naval operations, unmanned systems, and undersea situational awareness. ??

Bringing Connected Intelligence Underwater: Hydronet and Liquid Robotics Integration Demo We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking integration between HydroNet’s AI-powered underwater mesh networking and Liquid Robotics' Wave Glider—pushing the boundaries of autonomous ocean systems and intelligent underwater sensing. This integration successfully created a multi-kilometer adaptive mesh network between three Wave Gliders and an MIT SeaBeaver II UUV, running the MIT MOOS-IvP open-source autonomy stack.? The devices were all equipped with the Hydronet software-defined modem and edge platform (SDME), enabling high-performance underwater communication and distributed intelligence. Hydronet’s HydroMesh technology facilitated remote command, control, and telemetry across all four vehicles, relaying data through LEO satellites via Starlink. The Hydronet Dashboard provided a real-time monitoring, visualization, and mission command interface. Bridging the Physical and Digital Ocean By seamlessly integrating autonomous systems across the underwater, surface, and space-based networks, this demonstration showcases the future of resilient, AI-driven maritime operations—where distributed sensing, adaptive networking, and real-time intelligence power the next generation of ocean exploration and defense. ?? Autonomy & Connectivity ? Persistent Connectivity – Bridging the gap between surface and subsea networks to enable seamless multi-modal command and control. ? Enhanced Autonomy – Supporting smarter UUV operations with real-time, adaptive networking. ? Bridging ocean, surface, and terrestrial networks – Unlocking new possibilities for autonomous systems. ?? Data-Driven Intelligence ? Real-Time Underwater Sensing & Data Collection – Enabling continuous monitoring of ocean conditions, marine life, and subsea infrastructure. ? AI-Powered Distributed Sensing – Transforming vast amounts of collected data into actionable insights through edge AI and cloud analytics. ? Modeling the Physical World – Creating high-resolution, dynamic digital twins of underwater environments to drive smarter decisions in defense, energy, and environmental applications. By combining advanced AI, adaptive networking, and distributed sensing, we are revolutionizing how we see, understand, and interact with the underwater world. This is just the beginning—stay tuned as we push the boundaries of connected intelligence below the water surface. #ConnectedIntelligence #UnderwaterNetworking #AI #OceanTech #MeshNetworking #DigitalOcean #WaveGlider #SmartOceans #DigitalTwin #DARPA #LiquidRobotics #Hydronet #MIT #marineautonomylab

?? Exciting News! ?? We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper, “A Novel Closed-Loop Electrical Brain Stimulation Device Featuring Wireless Low-Energy Ultrasound Power and Communication.” Our study demonstrates the feasibility of Bionet Sonar's groundbreaking prototype electrical neuromodulation system that utilizes an energy-efficient ultrasound-based mechanism for communication, data transmission, and recharging. At Bionet Sonar, we developed closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) prototypes incorporating ultrasonic wideband (UsWB) communication technology and miniaturized custom electronics. These devices were tested in vivo, with precise targeting confirmed through preoperative MRI and postoperative CT scans. We rigorously tested the DBS systems across various clinical settings to assess their performance in terms of stimulation, communication, reprogramming, and recharging. The results highlight the clinical relevance of Bionet’s system, showcasing its potential for intelligent closed-loop stimulation, remote system monitoring, and optimization. The UsWB technology significantly enhances energy efficiency, enabling device miniaturization and reducing storage requirements. This innovation can serve as a power/data gateway to interconnect the intrabody network with the Internet of Medical Things, paving the way for advanced medical technologies that can transform patient care.
