Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._ ## Common questions ### What is Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet? 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) ### How much does Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet cost? Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet from Ulysses. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest. ### Is Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet actually deployed in the real world? Yes. Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only. ### Who makes Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet? Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet is made by Ulysses, based in San Francisco, CA, USA, founded in 2023. ### Where is Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet deployed? 1 verified deployment of Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet is on the DEPLOY registry, including at Offshore California, USA. ### Can you buy Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet? Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale. ### What are alternatives to Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet? On the DEPLOY registry, comparable maritime robots to Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet include Shihang Orca, MeCO AUV. ### How does Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet compare to Shihang Orca? Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet and Shihang Orca (Shihang Intelligent · 3 deployments) are both maritime robots on the DEPLOY registry. Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet has 1 verified deployment on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy. ### What is Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet's maturity stage? Ulysses Autonomous Maritime Fleet is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified. ## Sources (2) 1. https://www.siliconrepublic.com/start-ups/irish-founded-ulysses-raises-46m-in-rounds-that-include-andereesen-horowitz 2. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tommquigley_will-obrien-and-akhil-v-sailed-into-my-activity-7450667828610830336-nYyo _API: GET /v1/models/5e3399a6-d8e7-4c47-b1e2-100f95b090cd · canonical URL: /models/ulysses-auv-usv-fleet_
