Editorial summaries
Bedrock AUV
Bedrock's AUV is the commercial-subsea-survey entry of the maritime cohort: an autonomous electric undersea vehicle for seabed mapping and offshore survey (wind farms, cables), paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform. It operates independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute, neither towed nor tele-piloted while submerged.
Bedrock is a US Public Benefit Corporation, and its pitch is unit economics: each AUV costs under $1 million, and the company frames two AUVs as covering the same ground as one mapping ship. It is sold to offshore-survey operators, not consumers; there is no consumer price, and the sub-$1M figure is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price.
REMUS (100 / 300 / 620)
HII's REMUS family (REMUS 100/300/600/620) is the legacy-prime of the defense-subsea cohort: autonomous undersea vehicles for mine countermeasures, hydrographic survey, ISR, and electronic warfare, built by HII's Mission Technologies division, with a lineage dating to 2001 (Hydroid and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution heritage; HII acquired Hydroid in 2020 for about $350 million). The REMUS 620 (introduced 2022) is a newer medium-class long-endurance UUV with up to 110 hours of endurance and 275 nautical miles of range, and a torpedo-tube-launched 'Yellow Moray' variant was fielded from the submarine USS Delaware in 2025.
Cap-flag: large procurement-ceiling figures (such as a 200-vehicle order) are orders, not delivered counts. It is defense procurement; there is no consumer price.
