Saronic Technologies

We’re grateful to our partners and the broader maritime community for a great week at the International WorkBoat Show. From sharing how we are advancing autonomous maritime standards with our partners at American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), to discussing how ASVs are shaping the hybrid fleet of the future alongside other industry leaders, we’re energized by the discussions and excited about the opportunities autonomy is creating across the commercial maritime sector.

We’re proud to share that Saronic has been named an awardee on the Missile Defense Agency’s SHIELD IDIQ, a major step toward building a unified, layered defense architecture to protect the U.S. homeland. As threats grow more diverse and prevalent, the maritime domain offers vast opportunities for persistent sensing, distributed platforms, and resilient capabilities that strengthen deterrence and expand decision space for commanders. Saronic’s autonomous maritime capabilities are already demonstrating how smart, adaptable maritime systems can enhance national security today — and scale to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Being selected for SHIELD and having an opportunity to support homeland defense reinforces our commitment to delivering advanced capabilities that protect the United States, support the warfighter, and deter conflict in an increasingly complex threat environment.

Saronic is on the floor at the International WorkBoat Show, showcasing how our Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) can bring efficiency, safety, and reliability to commercial maritime operations. Join us today: 📍Panel: Uncrewed Surface Vessels for U.S. Defense: Charting the Navy-After-Next (Saronic speaker: Doug Lambert, Co-founder & COO) Main Stage 15:00 - 15:45 📍Happy Hour with Saronic! Booth #1011 15:30 - 17:00 Come by our booth #1011 to meet the Saronic team!

Thank you to Louisiana Economic Development for the continued support and partnership! We look forward to bringing new opportunities and growth to the Bayou Region.

Today, we announce a $300 million investment to expand our Franklin, Louisiana shipyard, a major milestone that will significantly increase our ability to deliver autonomous ships at speed and scale. Working in partnership with state and local officials, including Office of Governor Jeff Landry and Louisiana Economic Development, this expansion project will add more than 300,000 square feet of production capacity and create 1,500 new jobs over the coming years, strengthening the Gulf Coast’s role in the future of American maritime innovation and building the industrial foundation for a more agile and resilient fleet. Secretary Hegseth and the United States Department of War have made clear that acquisition reform must be matched by investment in the production base. Our expansion delivers exactly that — strengthening domestic capacity, accelerating delivery timelines, and ensuring the US can field advanced maritime capability when it is needed. Our Louisiana shipyard serves as the prototyping and production hub for Marauder, our autonomous ship that progressed from initial design to full vessel development in just six months. Building on that momentum, we have advanced the platform to an enhanced 180-foot design that delivers greater payload capacity and extended operational range. The updated design reflects our vertically integrated approach and sets a new benchmark for rapid, scalable, and adaptable US shipbuilding.

As the maritime sector begins adopting autonomy at scale, safety and classification standards will define the future of next-gen shipbuilding and autonomy at sea.   Join American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Saronic on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 11:30am at the International WorkBoat Show to hear how our strategic partnership is shaping the path toward certified, scalable, and trusted autonomous maritime standards.

This Thanksgiving, we reflect on the community that makes our mission possible. From supporting Austin's beloved Butler Trail and partnering with non-profits empowering veterans, to contributing to flood relief and leading year-round volunteer efforts across the city, we’re proud to play a small part in strengthening Austin - the city we call home. We’re continually inspired by our employees, whose commitment to service strengthens our company and our wider community. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dQda_pui

Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) are emerging as critical force multipliers for maritime operations - from extending the reach of naval operations, to securing international waterways for critical commerce.   Our Co-founder and COO Doug Lambert will join the "Uncrewed Surface Vessels for U.S. Defense: Charting the Navy-After-Next" panel at International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans, LA next week, to discuss the future of maritime autonomy.    Stop by our booth #1011 between Dec. 3-5 to learn more from our team! 

Investing in shipyards, new infrastructure, and advanced autonomy to build at scale is the fastest way to transform US shipbuilding and outpace our adversaries. Read more here from our CEO Dino Mavrookas conversation with Maritime Reporter and Engineering News: https://lnkd.in/eMq7VjtV

We're looking forward to exhibiting at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans on December 3-5! Autonomous capabilities are transforming how maritime operators tackle today’s toughest challenges, from maintaining port and harbor security to supporting offshore inspection, environmental monitoring, and logistics missions. Saronic’s Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) are built to augment existing operations, giving commercial operators the tools to work more efficiently, safely, and securely.
