Autonomous Underwater Systems
Low-cost, high-volume UUVs engineered to deliver speed, silence, and precision at scale.
The ocean keeps her secrets. Vatn builds the systems to uncover and defend them. Autonomous underwater vehicles move beneath the surface as a unified system, executing missions where GPS is denied and communications are disrupted. Contested waters are not simply navigated—they are owned.

The Lineup
UUVs
Small and medium unmanned underwater vehicles combining advanced marine robotics with modular, mission-flexible architecture. Designed for persistent, autonomous underwater operations that arrive without warning, operate without supervision, and endure where crewed systems cannot. Built for surveillance, sensing, mine countermeasures, payload delivery, and effector-class missions within contested waters.

Arrays
Passive acoustic hydrophone arrays for detection, classification, and tracking. They hear what others can't and turn acoustic signatures into actionable intelligence. The ocean is never silent to those who know how to listen.

Systems
Vehicle-agnostic navigation and signal processing for environments where GPS fails and comms go dark. Inertial navigation that holds position without satellites. Acoustic processing that extracts signal from noise. Data fusion that turns it all into actionable intelligence. Platform-independent systems designed to integrate across any vehicle, ours or anyone else's.

What the water demands
GPS-Denied Navigation
Satellites are convenient. Dependence on them is not. INStinct maintains positional accuracy when GPS, vision, and comms fail. Advanced sensor fusion minimizes drift across extended missions. Position is preserved even in denied and disconnected environments.
Collaborative Autonomy
One vehicle is capable. A coordinated swarm is decisive. Multi-vehicle coordination through advanced autonomy and low-bandwidth underwater comms. The mission continues whether you're watching or not.
Modular, Attritable Design
Reconfigure sensor and effector payloads in under a minute to match mission demand. Hand-launch, air-drop, or ship-deploy. A cost structure engineered for scalable production and expendable use. Mass creates advantage.
Scalability & Manufacturability
Designed for production, not just prototyping. Resilient supply chain. Rapid scale-up. We deliver capability, not promises.
Built for the mission
Mine countermeasures. ISR. Surveillance. Undersea payload delivery. Passive acoustic monitoring. Hydrographic survey.
Designed to support expeditionary forces, maritime patrols, and distributed operations. Every mission has requirements that look impossible until someone builds the system that makes them routine. Let's discuss yours.
Investors
We deliver capability at scale. Deployed in DoD exercises. Operational systems executing missions since 2023.
