Bishop Ascendant Partners with The HANA Group to Deliver Spark and Poseidon Across the Pacific Region

With established sales and support teams across the Pacific, HANA helps us reach clients quickly and efficiently.

West Caldwell, NJ, September 4th, 2024 – Bishop Ascendant, an innovator and expert in applying technology to solve the global clean water crisis and developer of the next generation maritime defense barrier is pleased to announce teaming with HANA Group and its world class business development and sales team.


The Spark Modular Support System concept is the vision of founder and CEO Justin Bishop and builds on his 35+ years of  invention and business experience. His inspiration for Spark was generated by the current water scarcity crisis around the world. Spark is designed to provide water, power and communications capability in a single fully automated package.


Justin Bishop invented Poseidon. He had previously developed, 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 unmanned sea drones to attack personnel and valuable maritime assets around the world.
