Ulysses

Overview

Fleets lack affordable, persistent surface-and-subsea coverage and ability to act; traffickers, saboteurs, and shadow assets are costing billions and risking lives. Western fleets have no current or upcoming solutions to match the volumes fielded by adversarial forces.

We build USVs and UUVs that are integrated and built to a cost profile that enables the delivery of 1000s of platforms instead of 100s, and have both sensors and data processing abilities, but also can take robotic payloads to interact with things on the seabed, in water column, and on surface.

Demos with ONR, and more commercial contracts across the US and Australia. We've deployed our AUVs commercially since late last year.

USV TRL 5 - prototype tested, UUV TRL 7— prototypes proven at sea in multiple missions, docking autonomy entering TRL 6 this FY. Software Middleware TRL 4-5

Vertically-integrated products, copy-paste manufacturing, scale-driven engineering drives costs to a point where we can deliver an order of magnitude more units than anyone else.

Active CRADA with NSWC; pursuing several DIU opportunities, teaming with primes e.g. SAAB

Energy (offshore wind, oil&gas), subsea telecom cables, port/coastal security, IUUF, restoration

Legacy primes (Kongsberg, L3, Leidos, HII, etc.) are generally single-domain and 10-100× costlier; New players e.g. Saildrone, Anduril, Saronic are building to usurp primes—no focus on delivering fleet-scale, dual-domain persistence and building the 1 of 0 capability we are developing.

Watch-stander / seabed-warfare lead. Commodores etc.

They juggle many sparse, low-confidence tracks, few, and costly field assets; Ulysses gives them many autonomous assets, enabling high-fidelity information to drive responses and interventions in a way that's not possible now.
