Saronic Technologies is a defense technology company founded in Austin, Texas in 2022. It designs, manufactures, and deploys autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, developing its hardware and software entirely in-house. The company moved from prototype to production in under a year - a timeline noted by the Secretary of the Navy - and controls the full software stack across its fleet of uncrewed vessels.
The company's work spans a broad technical surface: autonomy and robotics, embedded systems, vehicle design and manufacturing, systems integration, and full-stack software development. Saronic's ASVs are designed to extend operational range and reduce risk to human life. Alongside its standalone vessels, the company develops hybrid fleet solutions that integrate autonomous systems with existing naval assets, allowing the Navy and Marine Corps to operate mixed crewed and uncrewed fleets.
Saronic was founded by a team of veterans and technologists, and many of its staff have military service backgrounds. The company operates with an end-to-end ownership model - designing and building its vessels in-house rather than relying on external manufacturers - which it treats as central to its ability to iterate quickly and maintain control over performance and reliability.
