saronic

Saronic Technologies is a defense technology company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that is pioneering the next generation of maritime autonomy. Specializing in autonomous surface vessels (ASVs), Saronic designs and manufactures AI-powered unmanned ships—from compact platforms like the Corsair and Spyglass to the large 180-foot Marauder—that enhance situational awareness, extend operational reach, and improve survivability for naval forces through resilient communications, advanced sensors, payload flexibility, and mission-level autonomy. By integrating first-principles engineering, advanced manufacturing, and software-defined production, the company is rebuilding American shipbuilding capacity at unprecedented speed and scale, delivering capable, cost-effective platforms that complement or transform traditional maritime operations. Led by co-founder and CEO Dino Mavrookas, Saronic has secured major U.S. Navy contracts, including a $392 million production award, and recently closed a $1.75 billion Series D funding round at a $9.25 billion valuation to accelerate deployment for the U.S. and its allies.
