About Blue Water Autonomy
Blue Water Autonomy is building autonomous ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers.
Their team has launched 100+ hardware products, built some of America’s most complex ships, and fielded millions of robots. Some of these are in use in your home, others on Ukraine’s battlefields.
They don’t doubt that building ships with no human crew will be tough. They like tough.
