What SeaLandAire Technologies does

SeaLandAire Technologies Inc is a privately held engineering services firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Jackson, Michigan. The company designs, develops, and deploys advanced data collection systems engineered to operate in harsh environments including underwater, airborne, riverine, and extreme terrain conditions. Its core technical capabilities center on underwater acoustics (custom hydrophone arrays, acoustic signal processing systems, and data acquisition platforms built to withstand extreme marine conditions) and airborne anti-submarine warfare acoustic sensing systems integrated into maritime patrol aircraft and rotary-wing platforms.

SeaLandAire operates through three integrated service lines: Integrated Engineering & Design (electrical, mechanical, and software design bringing together full system development), Systems Integration & Development (autonomous, sensor-driven systems for UAVs, ocean buoys, underwater vehicles, and land-based sensors), and Field Testing & Validation (structured real-world testing across oceans, deserts, mountains, and labs). The company serves defense (primary), research, and commercial verticals, with visible engagement with US federal government contracting channels via SBIR.gov portfolio listing and USAspending.gov. Its customer base is not publicly disclosed.

The business model is project-based B2B engineering services sold through direct enterprise sales engagement (phone, email, website contact form) with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company markets a global operational footprint but maintains a single Michigan headquarters. Ownership is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or PE/VC backing based on available information.
