Riptide Autonomous Solutions has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2019 North American Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award for its UUV technology. This award comes just a few years after Riptide was recognized by Frost and Sullivan as the 2017 North America Product Leader in the UUV market.

As part of Frost and Sullivan’s recent UUV Market Study, Riptide was recognized for its continuing growth in the UUV market and expanded market presence. Riptide was also acknowledged for the expansion of its headquarters in Plymouth, Massachusetts, as well as the build out of its new manufacturing center.

Riptide’s international expansion through new offices and international representatives are also highlighted in the report, as well as the company’s key partnerships in the marine industry.

The report details Riptide’s successes in developing “Deeper, Farther, Faster, Smarter” UUVs. According to Frost and Sullivan, a big part of Riptide’s success has been its “sustained innovation to develop industry-leading technologies that empower the company’s customers to discover more of the ocean's mysteries and complete vital underwater missions.”

“It is a large honor for us to receive such high recognition from Frost & Sullivan again. Frost & Sullivan are highly regarded for conducting independent market research and we greatly appreciate being recognized for the things we are trying to do to set ourselves apart,” says Jeff Smith, Riptide’s founder and president.

“The rapid pace of subsea technology development is allowing us to extend the boundaries for what legacy systems have achieved at a much more affordable cost.”
