Ping DSP on the Cover of Sea Technology Magazine!

Ping DSP’s 3DSS data made it onto the cover of the June issue of Sea Technology magazine! The cover image features 3D-imagery data taken from our March 2023 virtual demo of Cascade Locks Marine Park. The 3D imagery clearly depicts the lock and other structures. Even small features, like staircases, are clearly recognizable in the data.

DIANA Demo Day - Seattle, WA.

NATO DIANA’s accelerator program through PNW MAC culminated in Demo Day: an opportunity for the innovation cohort companies to present their technology. The 3DSS was on display along with other amazing innovations from the cohort companies. We had the opportunity to give a short pitch, which we have been practicing throughout the program. This was followed by an opportunity for military and industry leaders to ask questions and explore the displays.

NATO DIANA Outreach Days - Washington, DC.

Ping DSP was fortunate to be able to attend NATO DIANA’s Outreach Days in Washington, DC. This event was a chance to put the 3DSS in front of military and commercial end users who would be otherwise out of reach. It was also a great chance to connect with many of the other innovators in the DIANA program. We attended a similar event in Amsterdam in the Netherlands in March of 2024, which was also very successful.

NATO DIANA Innovation Accelerator.

We are very excited to have been selected as a participant in NATO’s inaugural Defense Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). DIANA aims to solve complex security and defense problems through collaboration and innovation. Of the 1,300 applications that were received, we are honoured to be selected as one of the 44 organizations to participate. Our proposed solution will address the Sensing and Surveillance challenge, and we are very eager to begin work on the project in January.

In addition to funding, DIANA offers an Accelerator Program, which will give us access to experts, facilities, and resources from throughout NATO. We look forward to working with DIANA and our new NATO partners to significantly impact and advance underwater environmental visualization and object detection.

Stay tuned for updates in the coming months!
