Hold The Seabed
The ocean floor is undefended.
We are building autonomous underwater swarms that patrol, surveil, and hold critical seabed infrastructure. Attritable and at mass scale.
Mission
Seabed watch
Platform
Attritable UUVs

The Threat
Nobody is watching the ocean floor.
Critical seabed infrastructure sits exposed and actively being threatened.
Active
Subsea Sabotage
Balticconnector. Nord Stream. Red Sea. Strait of Hormuz. This is not theoretical. The US is being attacked and threatened already.
Persistent
Seabed Reconnaissance
Routes and approaches are being surveyed constantly. Barely contested.
Gap
Zero Coverage
Five ships for the whole ocean. Functionally blind while adversaries are mapping the ocean daily.
Mission Profiles
Where we are starting.
Focused critical seabed missions. Not every maritime problem.
Cable Route
Landing Zones // Patrol
Subsea Cables
Cable Routes
Patrol routes, landing zones, and repair corridors.
Energy Node
Pipelines // Watch
Energy Infrastructure
Pipelines
Watch pipelines, manifolds, offshore wind, solar and approaches.
Harbor Edge
Port Approaches // Persistent
Port Approaches
Harbor Watch and ISR
Persistent surveillance outside harbor entrances and anchorages.
Minefield
Undersea Mines // Watch
Undersea Mines
Minefields
Detect, map, and monitor mine threats in critical waters. The Strait of Hormuz is proving this need in real time.
Why Now
Threat, demand, and cost aligned.
The problem is visible. The buyers are real. The economics have changed.
Imminent Threat
No longer quiet. US adversaries are years ahead. Strait of Hormuz conflict is proving this live time.
DoW Demand
DoW is buying attritable systems. Drones have changed the battlefield. The same is/will happen in maritime and few companies exist.
Cost Curve
Sensors, compute, batteries and components now fit the cost. Attritable systems can beat exquisite.
Manifesto
Replace a few exquisite systems with mass attritables. Put persistent coverage on the seabed.
What We Build
Small. Cheap. Persistent.
Vehicles, dock, and mesh. One system.
01
KRAIT
Patrol with volume swarms.
02
FORGE
Recharge without a ship. Underwater.
03
SENTINEL
Communicate, power, and link the swarm.
KRAIT
Attritable Autonomous UUV
Low-cost UUVs built for volume. Attritable by design.
Mission
Seabed patrol.
Doctrine
Mass over exquisite.
Support
No recovery loop needed.

FORGE
Autonomous Underwater Charging Station
Dock. Recharge. Return to mission. Enables persistent capability.

SENTINEL // MESH
SENTINEL
Mesh Sensor Network and Solar Buoys
Sense, link, and power the swarm.
Economics
Cost changes the doctrine.
Low unit cost changes force structure.
Per unit
Built for volume.
Deployment ratio
Volume changes coverage.
Endurance
Recharge removes recovery ops.
Team
Small experienced team.
