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.

Specs

notes

• Verified: Bedrock Ocean (US PBC) designs + builds its own electric AUVs paired with a cloud data platform - a pure-commercial subsea-survey entity (offshore wind / oil & gas / environmental), the commercial-subsea-startup cell of the maritime matrix. $25.5M Series A (mid-2025, Northzone + Primary; ~$40M+ total). Did paid commercial survey work over 'the last two quarters'. Autonomy (inertial nav + onboard edge compute) clears the AI-as-primary bar. maturity=commercial (early).
• Cap-flag (scale unverified): No verified fleet size, miles-mapped, or NAMED customers (only generic sector references). US Navy interest is informal/demo-stage - do NOT log as a defense contract. Founding year not pinned (~2020-2021).
