It's rare to see the ins and outs of a military exercise, let alone play an active role in one. Watch the (mostly) un-redacted video about how we delivered cargo to US Navy warships during RIMPAC 2026 below.

Congrats to @Splash_Robotics on their $4.2M raise!
They're building fully autonomous drone boats for contested logistics and maritime surveillance. Similarly-capable vessels run $300-600k, while their Typhoon starts at $30k and takes just 8 hours to assemble.
At RIMPAC this year, they successfully completed unmanned resupply missions to the USS Essex and USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Navigating some of the world's busiest waterways isn't easy. But the Typhoon can do it. Our team just returned from an exercise in New York, and we brought some footage back with us!

We’re proud to partner with Dedrone by Axon to integrate their advanced drone detection capabilities onto the Typhoon drone-boat. This integration will expand maritime domain awareness, giving operators the ability to monitor both the surface and the air from one platform.
Our Drone-Boat is no longer a no-name prototype. As we scale our fleet, we're proud to announce its official name - The TYPHOON. Just like the storm it's named for, it's fast, unpredictable and undoubtedly the apex predator of the Pacific Ocean.
Our payload deck is feeling a little empty today, but not for long... We're designing our drone-boats to easily integrate with 3rd party payloads and upcoming Splash Industries mission modules.
Yesterday, we completed our longest deployment yet: a 7 hour station-keeping patrol mission at the Port of LA. This was done completely autonomously, and supervised from our headquarters 20 miles away, all through @Starlink .
We've just completed demonstrations of our drone-boat prototype at US Coast Guard Sector San Francisco. Coming in at well under $100k per hull, we're redefining how our country's harbors, bays and oceans are protected.
Catching up and keeping up with other vessels isn't optional - it's a requirement for us. With a top speed of over 50 knots, our drone-boat prototypes are faster than any anything else out there.
We'll be showcasing our unmanned vessels at LA Fleet Week! Come tour active-duty ships and learn more about the unmanned future of the US Navy. The year's lineup includes:
USS Carl Devin guided missile destroyer
USS Harpers Ferry landing ship
OUSV 4 Unmanned transport vessel
Thrilled to share that @Splash_Robotics has been named one of the Top 10 companies to watch at YC’s W25 Demo Day – as recently reported by TechCrunch!

🚤@Splash_Robotics is building unmanned patrol boats to defend our nation's critical infrastructure and secure our borders. They're able to autonomously detect and intercept threats faster than any human operator.

Congrats on the launch, @i_vanesov + @m_veszpremi!
