Saronic is building cutting-edge autonomous surface vessels that enable maritime security and domain awareness by combining premier hardware, software and AI.

Saronic has been awarded a production OT under the U.S. Navy's MUSV Marketplace for Marauder, our 180-foot dual-use autonomous ship — following a rigorous at-sea evaluation that tested the vessel’s capabilities. The trials included autonomously tracking and maneuvering around a variety of vessels, plus a battery of passive-perception tests — requiring Marauder to detect, track, and follow other vessels using only its passive onboard sensors, with no active radar. It's one of the hardest problems in autonomous maritime systems, and Marauder ran every scenario back-to-back on the same platform now under contract with the Navy. "Marauder went from initial design to on-the-water in under a year, and this evaluation demonstrated that the platform holds up under the Navy's own toughest testing," said Dino Mavrookas, CEO and Co-Founder. "We've now flipped our third Marauder hull, with several more moving through the production line behind it. We can build at that pace because we designed the autonomy, software, hardware, and the production process side-by-side, as one system, rather than bolting them together after the fact. That's what it means to be a vertically integrated shipbuilder, and it's why we've been able to build and deliver at speed and scale."

FleetLab 1.0 is LIVE. Join us for the first-ever Saronic hackathon — where your code will run real autonomous boats. We are building autonomous surface vessels from the ground up — designing hardware, software, and autonomy systems in-house and deploying them at scale. FleetLab 1.0 puts you in the middle of our work, challenging you to solve the same autonomy problems our team faces in the real world. Winning teams will watch their code deploy live on Saronic’s autonomous test vessels. Participants will choose one of three tracks: 📍 Track 1: UI: Visualizing Autonomous Decisions How should operators understand what an autonomous system is thinking? Design interfaces and apps that make autonomy transparent, intuitive, and mission-ready. 📍 Track 2: Autonomy + Navigation Develop logic, modeling, or machine learning approaches that improve decision-making in dynamic maritime environments. 📍 Track 3: Machine Learning Track Apply machine learning techniques to real autonomy-focused datasets and deployment scenarios. Are you a Texas-based student and ready to take on the challenge? Application link in the first comment!

Our Franklin, Louisiana team just completed the hull flip for our third Marauder, a major production milestone, with Marauders 4 and 5 already moving through the line behind it. Our first Marauder is on the water, with a second close behind. We're moving fast to meet the urgency of the moment. With the expansion of our Franklin shipyard, we’re building the capacity to produce 20 Marauders every year, equivalent to one every 18 days. Congratulations to the entire Franklin team for making it happen. We're just getting started.

To mark America's 250th anniversary, we deployed Corsair through U.S. waterways, past harbors, rivers, and coastlines that tell the story of how these waters have shaped this country's security and prosperity. For 250 years, the seas have underwritten American freedom. Up to 80% of the world's traded goods still move by water. The next 250 years will demand new solutions to protect that. At Saronic, we're building the autonomous fleets that will help secure free trade, protect peace and preserve the freedom to operate on the world's most important waters, for generations to come.

Marauder on-water testing is in full swing. The team took Marauder from initial design to on-water trials in under 12 months. Now we're running it on the water 12+ hours a day, seven days a week, proving out the autonomy at range and in conditions that don't cooperate. We're pushing the system hard - it's the same bar we've held on every vessel we've fielded, and we're holding it here. We're putting in the work that matters and we're glad to be doing it.

Last week, our first Marauder hit the water. This milestone represents more than a successful launch. It's a reflection of the tireless work of our dedicated engineers, shipbuilders, welders, and teammates across Saronic. It's a demonstration of our ability to deliver autonomous maritime capability at speed and scale through a modern production approach and relentless focus on the mission. And it's just the first of many more milestones to come.

This is what building at speed looks like. We recently announced a $300M investment to expand our shipyard in Franklin, Louisiana. We broke ground immediately and are working around the clock to bring 300,000+ sq. ft. of new shipbuilding capacity online by the end of this year. What that means is that by January 1, 2027, this capacity goes live — driving a step-function increase in Marauder production from an already rapid baseline, while strengthening the U.S. maritime industrial base and accelerating delivery of next-generation autonomous vessels. And we’re just getting started.

From production at our shipyard in Franklin, Louisiana to our new testing and commissioning site in Gulfport, Mississippi. Our first Marauder has already logged hundreds of hours of on-water testing, with additional vessels set to follow the same path as production continues to scale.

Today, Saronic unveiled Echelon – a unified platform for high-fidelity simulation, advanced mission planning, and real-time command-and-control across our growing family of Autonomous Surface Vessels. This is a major step forward in enabling one-to-many operations, where a single operator can control a fleet of maritime assets reliably, safely, and from anywhere.
