To work as designed, the buoys required two novel technologies. One, an ultra-thin but durable cable “able to withstand the pressure, saltwater and currents of the ocean,” according to John Kamp, DARPA’s TUNA program manager.
Second, DARPA needed some way to power the buoys. Heeding the agency’s call, the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Lab developed a kind of “generator buoy” that produces electricity from wave motion.
