Congrats to our Franklin team for this achievement. Many more Marauders to come.
Proud to report that the 2nd Marauder is in the water and running under its own power out of our yard in Franklin, Louisiana. The team really stepped up across the board - this hull took 8% fewer labor hours than the 1st. That’ll continue to get better, every build needs to be more efficient than the last.
When we took over this shipyard it was shutting down and capacity was trending towards 0.
Today it's is active again + expanding. Fully ramped we’ll do 20 Marauders a year in Franklin.
Thanks to everyone @Saronic for their hard work getting this done.

Three countries. Three Corsairs. A shared vision for the future of maritime autonomy.
Proud to have participated in Maritime Big Play Pacific, proving the concept for the U.S., UK, and Australia that autonomous capabilities can support allied operations.
Across multiple vignettes, Corsair showed what fully autonomous operations look like in practice: Pier resupply, with portions of the mission executed under denied-communications conditions
Trilateral autonomous Sense, decide, effect, operating as part of a heterogeneous fleet of uncrewed surface vessels with uncrewed air vehicle support Seamless command and control via Saronic's Echelon integrated into the Common Control System (CCS)
Grateful to the UK Royal Navy for providing the opportunity to be a part of this important event.
Multiple missions, one autonomous platform, ready to deliver on the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Saronic CEO @MavrookasD discussed how the U.S. can stay ahead of China’s naval expansion. “How do you completely de-man ships and boats and give the Navy capability with zero people? That's how you actually move the needle,” Mavrookas told @jameshohmann of @PostOpinions.
Last night we hosted our first Ship Happens talk with Saronic CTO @Vbob202 and Lightspeed's @guruchahal. We discussed the challenges of launch and recovery, how we design our boats for extreme conditions, and how that rabbit hole you're going down might be the foundation for something you can't see yet. Stay tuned for the full conversation.

Two individuals are on stage, engaging in conversation. The audience is attentive, suggesting an involved and interactive session.

Saronic is honored to be recognized, and to demonstrate what Corsair can deliver for the Hellenic Navy in surveillance, reconnaissance and Greece's critical security missions.
Στα εγκαίνια της Διακλαδικής Σχολής Μη Επανδρωμένων, αλλά και των Αυτονόμων Συστημάτων Θάλασσας. Ένα περαιτέρω βήμα, που δημιουργεί τεράστιες δυνατότητες για το Πολεμικό Ναυτικό μας στο Αρχιπέλαγος, με τα Αυτόνομα Συστήματα τα οποία μπορούν να προσφέρουν απεριόριστες δυνατότητες στην επιτήρηση και αναγνώριση, στην προστασία των λιμένων, στον ναρκοπόλεμο και στην ασφάλεια των υποδομών.
Αυτό το νέο Πολεμικό Ναυτικό με τις σύγχρονες πλατφόρμες, θα μπορεί να προστατεύει όχι μόνο την κυριαρχία και τα κυριαρχικά δικαιώματα, αλλά και τα ενεργειακά και επικοινωνιακά δίκτυα στον βυθό, τα οποία είναι επίσης απαραίτητα για την ασφάλεια της Πατρίδας.
