Autonomous Maritime Investment Thesis

Autonomous surface and underwater systems are becoming a credible answer to fleet attrition, sensor coverage, and contested logistics.

Why this matters

Western navies cannot rebuild crewed fleet capacity at the pace required. Autonomous surface and underwater systems are the only credible bridge for sensor coverage, mine warfare, contested logistics, and persistent presence.

Where I focus

Modular surface platforms with mission-tailored payloads
Underwater autonomy for survey, mine countermeasures, and sensing
Communications and command frameworks that survive contested environments
European production capacity for hulls and propulsion
