Deployment

Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet at Offshore California, USA

Networked fleets of low-cost autonomous surface (USV) and underwater (AUV) vehicles for persistent maritime operation. The platform includes the Mako autonomous underwater vehicle (approximately USD 50,000 per unit, seagrass-planting and subsea inspection), the Leviathan autonomous surface vessel (a fully autonomous mothership capable of deploying up to four Makos, with over six months endurance, 1,200 nm range, and 20-knot speed), and the Kraken launch-and-recovery system.

Designed for dual-use missions: defense (mine countermeasures, multi-vehicle swarming, ISR) and commercial (offshore survey, cable laying, wind-farm structural monitoring, seagrass restoration at 100x the speed of manual planting)
