Windward acquires Prominent Edge to strengthen US defence and geospatial capabilities

Windward, a leading maritime AI company, has acquired Prominent Edge, a US defence technology firm specialising in geospatial and maritime software solutions for the US government. The acquisition strengthens Windward's capabilities in the American defence and national security sectors. Prominent Edge brings over a decade of experience delivering mission-critical software to US government agencies, along with ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and CMMI Dev Level 3 certifications. The company's expertise complements Windward's AI-powered maritime intelligence platform, which processes vessel behaviour, trade patterns and risk indicators to deliver real-time intelligence. The deal follows Windward's 2025 acquisition by FTV Capital, which established the company as US majority-owned. The combined entity will serve government and commercial customers operating in increasingly complex maritime environments.
