Autonomous vessel company Saronic brings its scalable, AI-driven maritime platforms to the UK, boosting defence resilience, interoperability, and sovereign capability.

As defence leaders converge at DSEI UK 2025, Saronic Technologies will be on-site with a clear message: maritime autonomy is no longer a future ambition—it is an operational necessity.

Saronic is a rapidly growing US-founded defence technology company that develops and manufactures fully autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) at scale to tackle the increasingly contested maritime domain.

Its platforms are built from the keel up for autonomy, with modular hardware, open software architecture, and embedded AI that make them highly interoperable and adaptable. Its growing family of ASVs – from Spyglass (2m) to Marauder (45m) – are designed to support a wide range of missions including surveillance and reconnaissance; communications support; nearshore navigation; and maritime domain awareness—all while rapidly integrating with allied systems, critical technologies, and diverse payloads.

Saronic’s digital-first engineering and scalable manufacturing model allows it to progress from concept to operational capability in months, not years, and to deliver advanced maritime capabilities at the speed and scale of operational relevance to support persistent presence, adaptable force structures, and reduced risk to personnel.

Now, Saronic is bringing that model to the UK.

Saronic UK: delivering sovereign capability, strategic alignment

From subsea threats to Red Sea chokepoints, the UK faces growing maritime security challenges. Traditional fleets alone cannot deliver the persistent, distributed protection now required.

Saronic’s ASVs offer the endurance, flexibility, and operational integration to close this gap, reinforcing UK defence resilience and allied interoperability across NATO and AUKUS.

Saronic’s UK expansion is a commitment to building industrial partnerships, accelerating allied innovation, and creating a sovereign capability that can deliver enduring advantage. The company plans to establish offices in London and a UK-based operations, testing, and production facility in Portsmouth tailored to British requirements and domestic supply chains. By collaborating with the UK Government, the defence ecosystem, and local partners, Saronic UK is laying the foundation for a sovereign maritime autonomy hub aligned with the UK’s Maritime 2050 strategy and Strategic Defence Review.

This investment will support the establishment of sovereign production and testing using UK labour and materials, and a commitment to develop local skills and innovation pipelines. Saronic’s systems are designed for seamless integration with Royal Navy networks and sensor ecosystems, and their modular, reconfigurable design enables rapid and flexible procurement pathways.

Saronic stands ready to partner with UK Government and industry to build the next generation of maritime security—faster, smarter, and at scale.
