Technology Overview


Navatek’s mission is to develop technologies which improve the sea-keeping, sea-kindliness, speed, and fuel/transport efficiency of both large ships and small craft. We accomplish this by:
  • Developing advanced hydrodynamic analysis tools and predictive models which allow us to significantly expand the design envelope, while simultaneously reducing the cost and time needed to bring concepts to commercialization.
  • Moving beyond prediction to experimental validation – by building small-scale and large-scale technology demonstrators/prototypes, instrumenting them, and testing them at sea.
  • Developing multiple applications for each technology (product line extension)
  • Identifying strategic partners in business and government to advance shared goals and commercialize our patented/proprietary technologies.
Navatek’s R&D program and the products produced by this effort includes:
  • Stable ship designs
  • Lifting body ship designs
  • Entrapment Tunnel Monohull (ETM) small craft designs
  • Adaptive Ride Enhancement System (ARES)
  • Amphibious vehicle
  • Wave energy conversion device
  • Energy storage system
