24-foot midsize autonomous surface vessel capable of carrying a 1,000 lb payload over 1,000 nautical miles at 35+ knots using AI-driven navigation. Progressed from prototype to production in under 12 months; the U.S. Navy awarded Saronic a $392M production contract for Corsair in late 2025. Designed for ISR, logistics delivery, and payload-flexible forward presence missions in contested maritime environments without risking crew.
150-foot Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) with a maximum load capacity of 150 metric tonnes and a range of 4,100 nautical miles at full load. Designed for distributed lethality operations across wide ocean areas—capable of carrying weapons systems, sensors, or logistics payloads as a modular warship surrogate. The Marauder is Saronic's largest platform and targets the Navy's requirement for large, affordable, autonomous surface combatants.
60-foot Cipher and 40-foot Mirage autonomous surface vessels unveiled in April 2025, bridging the gap between the Corsair and Marauder. Cipher carries 10,000 lbs over 3,000+ nautical miles; Mirage carries 2,000 lbs over 2,000+ nautical miles. Both use NVIDIA-powered autonomy stack. The vessels expand Saronic's family toward contested sea-lane presence, undersea payload delivery, and persistent surveillance at standoff range from shore-based command.
