Forcys marks new era with key contract to protect multiple Critical National Infrastructure sites

Global maritime defense company Forcys is building on its recent merger with a keystone contract award. Reaffirming its focus on the defense sector, Forcys will deploy its Sentinel Intruder Detection System (IDS) across multiple sites for a close allied nation to protect vital elements of their Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).

In an ever-shifting sociopolitical landscape, the ability to counter unseen underwater threats grows more critical by the day. For over two decades, Sentinel has provided global peace of mind, becoming the world’s most deployed intruder detection sonar. The system detects, tracks, and classifies divers and uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) approaching a protected asset from any direction, providing security teams with the early warning needed to react.

Paul Badger, CEO of Forcys, stated: “This contract demonstrates our enhanced capacity to deliver large-scale projects. By integrating our teams, we’ve matched world-class engineering and program management with global outreach. This synergy is exactly why we brought Forcys, Chelsea Technologies, and Wavefront Systems together.”

Ioseba Tena, CCO of Forcys, added: “Following a year of high-volume expeditionary deliveries providing ‘protection on the move’, 2026 sees Forcys scaling to meet the world’s most significant CNI challenges to deliver ‘protection that stays’. Our expanded team is now rolling out permanent IDS installations where permanent vigilance is the only option.”

Capable of identifying divers at ranges up to 1,000m and UUVs at 1,500m, Sentinel sets the standard for reliable, long-range underwater detection. It is currently utilized for defense, CNI, vessel, and VIP protection duties worldwide.
