SWE has invested extensively in developing technology, emerging methodologies, and creating intellec- tual property associated with develop- ment and commercialization of bat- tery packs and battery systems that utilize Lithium, Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer chemistry. SWE actively participates with the intellec- tual community in sharing technical advances via international battery technology conferences and technical journals. SWE has produced seven patents directly related to control of Lithium batteries, Lithium-Ion bat- teries, solar panels and systems, and has an 8th patent pending. SWE has reduced to practice all of this intellec- tual property in delivered products used in above-ground application, one atmosphere underwater applica- tions, and pressure-tolerant underwa- ter application.

BlueView acoustic underwater vision solutions use a technology that provides high per- formance imaging sonar capabilities in compact, low power systems. Since delivering the first products in mid 2005, BlueView has been growing rapidly based on its unique underwater vision solutions and customer-focused approach. More than 400 BlueView commercial systems have been deployed on micro and work-class ROV platforms, small to medium sized UUVs, diver hand-held units, boat mount systems and fixed surveillance platforms. BlueView was selected by the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) as the development provider for the Ultra Deepwater Program (UDP). Additionally the Office of Naval Research (ONR) recently awarded a contract to BlueView to deliver customized 3D MicroBathymetry sonar systems to the US Navy. BlueView has developed a broad line of 2D and 3D commercial systems that operate from 225 kHz to 2.25 MHz to meet a broad range of underwa- ter imaging needs. Within the last year BlueView has expanded its line of 2D imaging sonar with multiple field-of- view options, including a 130° system. Recently, BlueView partnered with Seebyte and Perry Slingsby Systems of the Triton Group to develop an advanced sonar-based station keeping system for the Triton XLX work-class ROV. In addition, BlueView has launched a new line of 3D mechanical scanning systems that are a leap forward in underwa- ter 3D visualization and mapping.
