Designs and manufactures autonomous surface vessels — 14-ft Rampage (flagship, ~$100k/unit), 38-ft Seahound, 42-ft Kaikoa and 100-ft Atlas (in testing) — built around a collaborative-autonomy stack that lets a single operator command swarms of thousands of vessels. Expanding multi-domain via acquisitions of Mavrik (air) and Teleo (ground teleoperation). Prior watchlist software-core exclusion overturned: the US Navy purchased a dozen company-built Rampage vessels and the Oct 2025 raise explicitly funds drone-boat production scale-up.
