Bishop Ascendant Announces Poseidon Project
Next Generation Technologies and an Innovative Approach Combines to Address the Waterborne Surface and Below Surface Drone Threat to Maritime Safety and Security.
West Caldwell, NJ, March 15, 2024 – Bishop Ascendant, an innovator is applying the latest technology to solve maritime defense issues, today announced the launch of its Poseidon maritime defense barrier project, It has never been more critical to secure vital maritime infrastructure, billion-dollar assets protected from the land with multiple layers of security while the seaside is wide open and vulnerable.
Poseidon is the vision of founder and CEO Justin Bishop, and builds on his 35+ years of invention and business experience. He previously developed the Spark Modular Support System, licensed and sold the first generation Whisprwave® floating breakwater, and went on to develop the second- generation HALO® Maritime Defense System and Guardian Gate adopted by the United States and Israeli navies. He specializes in system design for rugged environments, and has been issued over 30 utility patents. His inspiration for Poseidon was generated by the extensive use of sea drones to attack personnel and valuable maritime assets around the world.
Poseidon will address physical maritime security requirements as well as be a platform for integrated sensors. Poseidon is the next generation of maritime security barrier and is the most advanced boat barrier in the world. Poseidon is specifically designed to stop multiple high speed boat attacks on maritime assets. It is designed and built for 24/7 operations in an ocean environment.
Bishop commented that “I have always been close to the sea and to watch as it is used as a pathway for terrorism and economic extortion is disheartening. I believe Poseidon can create security above and below the surface of the water unlike any other system in the water including my past work.”
