Key Developments & Data
The U.S. Navy selects Blue Water Autonomy for autonomous deep-ocean survey missions.
Blue Water Autonomy will compete for task orders under an IDIQ contract capped at $40 million.
The Boston-based startup will deploy uncrewed steel vessels to map seafloor terrain across the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Its 190-foot Liberty Class autonomous vessel features a operational range exceeding 10,000 nautical miles.
"Mapping the open ocean is exactly the kind of long, high-endurance work that autonomous vessels are built for." — Rylan Hamilton, CEO of Blue Water Autonomy
And naval logistics will always favor uncrewed steel hulls over paying tens of thousands of dollars daily for human survey crews.
