Industrial Relevance

Work on underwater acoustic and positioning has led to a range of innovative products which are now marketed by Tritech International Ltd () , Blueprint Subsea () and Succorfish (). This technology has been licensed to these companies and generates royalty income for the University. This work was the subject of a 4* rated impact case study in REF 2014 and REF2021.

Work on wireless environmental sensor networks has led to a spin-off company named Envirowatch Ltd who sell the technology under licence.
