Blue Water Autonomy

About

We're building autonomous ships for the open ocean, starting with the US Navy and extending to commercial maritime customers. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds - Navy veterans, hardware entrepreneurs, and robotics experts who've shipped hundreds of products before. We've learned from the front lines, whether that's Ukraine's drone factories or the deck plates of Navy ships.

The problem we're tackling is real: asymmetric threats are changing maritime battlefields, and traditional shipbuilding can't keep up. We're designing ships engineered to scale, fully integrating hardware, software, and AI so vessels can operate for months at a time without crews. Our leadership has built and sold companies before (including 6 River Systems to Shopify), and we're applying that hard-won experience to modernize maritime defense and commercial operations.
