Last week, our first Marauder hit the water.
This milestone represents more than a successful launch. It's a reflection of the tireless work of our dedicated engineers, shipbuilders, welders, and teammates across Saronic. It's a demonstration of our ability to deliver autonomous maritime capability at speed and scale through a modern production approach and relentless focus on the mission.
And it's just the first of many more milestones to come.
We just launched our first Marauder — designed, built, and launched in under a year, at a pace American shipbuilding hasn't seen since World War II. The team that made it happen shows up every day and refuses to accept the timelines the rest of the industry takes for granted.
Hull two is being outfitted now. Three and four are under active construction. We're scaling fast, and every hull we put in the water is a reflection of what this team is capable of.
One mission, one team — and we're just getting started.
In 2015, Shield AI was a handful of people and a bold idea with no guarantee it would work.
Co-founder Andrew Reiter, Autonomy System Architect Pete Lommel, and Senior Release and Automation Engineer Frank Bogart were among the first to bet on it anyway. We sat down with all three at our San Diego office to hear what those early days actually looked like.
Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.
Morning everyone,
Another from the farm-chives, I am not fond of having my photo taken and have spent my career behind the lens vs in front of it.
However I do believe that you should seize an opportunity to educate people if its offered. This was one of these occasions.
