About RJE International

Founded in 1991 by Robert Jechart in a spare bedroom, RJE International began with a mission to deliver high-tech, mission-critical products to military, commercial, and scientific communities worldwide. By collaborating with engineering-focused partners, RJE quickly established itself as an innovator in underwater technology, earning a spot on Inc. Magazine’s list of 500 fastest-growing companies within six years.

Today, RJE is a global leader in underwater acoustic marking and relocation systems, as well as advanced diver sonar and navigation equipment. Trusted by the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force, and international partners in over 50 countries, RJE’s state-of-the-art solutions support missions ranging from mine clearance to subsea navigation.

Expanding its vision for underwater exploration, RJE launched Oceanbotics, a subsidiary focused on designing cutting-edge remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs). These ROVs offer an intuitive design and advanced software to streamline underwater operations, making them faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.

For over three decades, RJE International has been a pioneer in underwater innovation, delivering solutions that excel under pressure.

Our products are trusted by industry leaders across commercial and military applications worldwide.
