OUR MISSION

Powered by the sun and driven by the wind. Our C-Stars are mass-deployable, navigable ocean sensors essential to understanding climate dynamics, protecting critical infrastructure, and operating safely at sea.

Oshen builds the C-Star: a one-metre robot that sails itself across oceans, holds station for months, and reports back in real time. We design them to be deployed by the thousand. Watching an ocean takes a fleet, not a flagship.

We're the only company that's made an ocean robot that's persistent, navigable, and scalable at once. Large autonomous surface vessels work but cost a million pounds each. Drifting buoys are cheap but go wherever the current takes them. Battery-powered drones can navigate but die in days. C-Stars do all three, at low cost, at scale.

C-Stars have sailed through a Category 5 hurricanes and streamed data the whole way. A swarm can watch a wind farm, a shipping lane, or a chokepoint, turning blank spots on the map into a real-time view of weather, sea state, and what moves beneath the surface.

OUR STORY SO FAR

2021

Two founders. One mission. The first C-Star prototypes took shape.
a21ce582f4b40082556005d7dfd629e667e2f863.jpg
The company was incorporated, and our C-Star hit the water - proof before polish.

2022

C-Stars went unsupervised at sea - autonomous, capable, trusted.
Winning the DEFRA project award proved the world was watching.

2023

A new home in Plymouth. A foothold in the USA. £2 million from ARIA. The mission was scaling fast.

2024

30 C-Stars. A Category 5. NOAA onboard. The storm only ended up proving the fleet's capabilities.

2025
