Celebrating 25 Years of Sovereign Capability

The Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition stands as the region’s premier showcase for commercial maritime and naval defence innovation—bringing together leaders from defence, industry, government, academia, and technology in the national interest. For BlueZone Group, IndoPAC has long been a cornerstone event, and 2025 marked our biggest presence yet. From signing new representative agreements to unveiling cutting-edge product capabilities—including the impressive CCR rebreathers—this year was a milestone in our journey.

As we proudly celebrate 25 years of sovereign capability in Australian waters, our booth was alive with the expertise of our partnered vendors and the excitement of their latest innovations, reflecting both heritage and forward momentum.

Our partners at Blueprint Subsea and the Aion Group, together with their partner company Suex, are at the forefront of driving technological breakthroughs in the military diving domain. With the full Artemis range showcased at IndoPAC, attendees were given a first-hand look at the powerhouse innovations emerging from these industry leaders. Among the standout developments was the ArtemisHHC—a handheld controller that enables divers to operate an ROV while underwater themselves. This game-changing technology enhances diver capability, allowing missions to be executed at greater depths with improved precision and efficiency. And the innovation doesn’t stop there—keep an eye on how Blueprint Subsea is integrating drone technology into this capability, opening up even greater possibilities for the future of military diving.

Also joining us on the stand, BlueZone hosted representatives from Seebyte, Robert Johnson and Scott Reed. Showcasing Seebyte’s command and control software, SeeTrack, and Neptune, their intelligent autonomy system. Revolutionising the world of uncrewed systems, SeeTrack delivers advanced mission planning, monitoring, and data analysis for both single and multi‑vehicle operations. As a truly vehicle‑agnostic solution, SeeTrack empowers operators to manage a diverse fleet through one seamless, integrated interface—while preserving the unique strengths of each platform. BlueZone is proud to have signed the representative agreement for SeeByte in Australia and New Zealand, marking a significant step in strengthening sovereign capability. We look forward to championing SeeByte’s integration into the Australian defence ecosystem, where their cutting‑edge technology and proven operational expertise will play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s future capability landscape.

And the good news didn’t stop there. We were thrilled to announce the signing of a representative agreement with Kraken Robotics, a global leader in advanced maritime technology. This partnership marks a significant milestone for BlueZone, strengthening our ability to deliver cutting‑edge solutions to Australia and New Zealand. Kraken’s world‑class innovations—ranging from synthetic aperture sonar to launch and recovery systems—are redefining precision, efficiency, and capability in undersea operations. By joining forces, we’re not only expanding our portfolio but also ensuring that our customers have access to the very best technologies available worldwide. This collaboration underscores our commitment to building sovereign capability and staying Ahead of the Tide in maritime innovation.
