We were excited to recently welcome visitors to the Maritime Autonomous Systems Test Site (MASTS) at Willoughby Spit in Norfolk, VA. We had the pleasure of hosting Bryan O’Halloran from ReliaSystems LLC and the hashtag#DTA cohort for a live UUV technology demonstration in Willoughby Bay.

This was exactly the kind of real-world, saltwater testing and collaboration that MASTS was built for: connecting innovators with the operational environment they need to move their technology forward. We love seeing the site put to work like this.

Thank you as well to the SBIR Connect team, Mid-Atlantic Tech Bridge (MATB), 757 Collab, and AFCEA Hampton Roads for supporting the growing autonomy ecosystem in the region.
