Blue Water Autonomy, the technology company building autonomous ships for the U.S. Navy, emerged from stealth, and announced $14M in seed funding from Eclipse, Riot, and Impatient Ventures. The company is building a completely unmanned and highly producible ship that can serve many missions on the open ocean. Founded in 2024 by leaders formerly of Amazon Robotics, iRobot, and the U.S. Navy, Blue Water Autonomy has developed a full-stack autonomy suite, commenced salt-water testing, and developed concept ship designs in under a year. With this seed funding, the company will expand its engineering team, accelerate ship testing, and integrate different payloads onto its platform.
