What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build autonomous surface vessels designed to patrol and secure critical maritime infrastructure such as oil rigs and shipping terminals. Our boats operate independently to monitor these assets, reducing the need for traditional naval vessels by deploying cheap, versatile fleets capable of sustained, autonomous defense missions.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is our base because it's where our team is established, and it offers access to skilled engineers and manufacturing partners. Staying local helps us move quickly and scale operations efficiently.
