Teledyne is participating in the 2026 edition of the SeaSEC Challenge Weeks, “DATA2SEA” (SCWD2S), an advanced maritime security exercise focused on real-time muti-sensor data integration for the protection of critical underwater infrastructure (CUI).
In collaboration with the German Navy and hosted by the Rostock Institute for Ocean Technologies, this year’s DATA2SEA programme brings together a range of sensing technologies in realistic operational conditions to explore how real-time data integration can enhance maritime security operations. The exercise shifts the focus beyond individual stand-alone system performance to the integration of multiple data streams, reflecting a key priority for maritime security operators.
Building on its successful participation in previous SeaSEC exercises, Teledyne will take part in a number of challenges, deploying a combination of passive acoustic monitoring, active sonar, and surface surveillance technologies across cable, platform, and harbor protection environments. Teledyne Marine, in collaboration with Teledyne FLIR, will contribute with integrated above- and below-surface surveillance capabilities across these scenarios.
Teledyne’s participation forms part of several consortiums as a sensor provider, highlighting the growing importance of cross-industry collaboration in delivering integrated maritime security capability. By combining its technologies with those of partner organizations, Teledyne will demonstrate how coordinated sensing approaches can strengthen monitoring and protection of CUI.
“Protecting critical underwater infrastructure increasingly depends on the ability to connect and interpret data across multiple domains,” said Morten Bernsdorf, Project Lead, Teledyne Marine. “SCWD2S provides a valuable platform to demonstrate how integrated sensing can enhance maritime situational awareness at scale, while bringing together industry partners to collaboratively address shared challenges and showcase what Teledyne’s technology is capable of in real-world conditions.”
The SeaSEC Challenge Weeks 2026 DATA2SEA takes place from 13 – 24 April, conducted in the Baltic Sea, within the Mecklenburg Bight at the Digital Ocean Lab and in the naval base Rostock. Founded in December 2023, the initiative brings together technology providers, infrastructure operators, public authorities, industry, and research partners to collaborate in realistic maritime test environments, accelerating the development and deployment of innovative security and defense solutions.
