Blue Water Autonomy builds autonomous open-ocean ships integrating hardware, software and AI, for the US Navy and commercial maritime customers.
Blue Water Autonomy builds autonomous ships for the open ocean. The vessels are engineered to scale, with hardware, software and artificial intelligence integrated under a single team, and are designed to operate for months at a time without crews. The company's initial customers are in the US Navy; it intends to extend its reach to commercial maritime operators.
The technical scope spans autonomous maritime vessels, robotics, AI, hardware and software engineering, and uncrewed systems. Company backgrounds include maritime defense, shipbuilding and naval and asymmetric warfare. Team members draw on experience from Navy deck plates and from Ukraine's drone factories.
The team is drawn from Navy veterans, hardware entrepreneurs and robotics experts. Members have shipped hundreds of products and built and sold companies, among them 6 River Systems, sold to Shopify. The company is based in the United States.
