Bedrock is the commercial-subsea-survey entry of DEPLOY's maritime cohort: a startup whose pitch is unit economics (two cheap AUVs replacing a mapping ship), the offshore-wind-and-cable counterpart to the defense-subsea AUVs.
✔
It operates independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute (neither towed nor tele-piloted while submerged), paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform; Bedrock is a US Public Benefit Corporation.
Price
No reviewed price is on record. We do not treat unverified analyst estimates as pricing data. There is no consumer price. The Bedrock AUV is sold to offshore-survey operators on contract; the company cites a sub-$1-million per-unit cost, but that is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price, so DEPLOY records zero consumer price points.
Availability
Internal use only
Bedrock is sold to offshore-survey operators, not consumers. A US Public Benefit Corporation, it pairs its electric AUV with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform; DEPLOY records commercial maturity.
Real-world status
Bedrock's AUV is the commercial-subsea-survey entry of DEPLOY's 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.
💡
The unit-economics framing is the editorial hook: each AUV costs under $1 million, and the company frames two AUVs as covering the same ground as one mapping ship, the survey-cost-disruption pitch.
⊘
There is no consumer price. Bedrock sells to offshore-survey operators; the sub-$1M figure is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price, so DEPLOY records zero consumer price points.
Commercial subsea + surface: Bedrock vs HUGIN vs Saildrone
Not as a consumer⊘absence. It is sold to offshore-survey operators; the company cites a sub-$1M per-unit cost, but that is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price.
