Combined Naval Event (CNE) 26
Optics11 will participate in the Combined Naval Event (CNE) 2026, engaging with naval leaders, program managers, and maritime capability developers focused on the future of naval operations.
At CNE, we will present how persistent seabed sensing strengthens Underwater Security and maritime resilience.
OptiBarrier
Immediate, Over-the-Horizon Threat Detection, 24/7.
OptiBarrier is a passive, all-optical seabed hydrophone network delivering real-time detection and tracking of underwater threats. With no electronics in the wet end and high-fidelity acoustic sensing (10 Hz–10 kHz, noise floor below Sea State 0), it enables covert, wide-area monitoring of:
- Naval bases and harbor approaches
- Strategic chokepoints
- Subsea cables and pipelines
- Offshore energy infrastructure
The system streams real-time acoustic data to shore-based interrogation and processing units, supporting detection, classification, and integration into command systems
Why meet us at CNE?
- Close underwater domain awareness gaps
- Extend surveillance beyond patrol and drone endurance limits
- Explore integration with naval ISR and CMS architectures
- Discuss scalable deployment concepts for national maritime security
CNE brings together decision-makers shaping next-generation naval capability. We look forward to discussing how earlier warnings enable more effective response in complex maritime environments.
