# Saronic: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Saronic extends the new-defense cohort (Anduril, Shield AI, Helsing) into surface naval: Corsair/Mirage/Marauder USVs, $1.75B Series D. Defense procurement, no consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. Saronic builds defense autonomous surface vessels sold to the US Navy on contract, so DEPLOY records zero price points rather than a consumer figure.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

Saronic sells to defense customers, not consumers. DEPLOY records one real production-intent Navy contract with money obligated: a $392 million other-transaction-authority ceiling through 2031 with about $197 million obligated in July 2025 (the Navy did not name a vessel). It is building a 'Port Alpha' shipyard.

## Status

Saronic Technologies (founded 2022 in Austin by Dino Mavrookas, an eleven-year Navy SEAL, with CTO Vibhav Altekar, an early Anduril engineer who worked on Ghost Shark) is the new-defense maritime archetype, extending the AI-first defense cohort of Anduril, Shield AI, and Helsing from the air into the surface-naval regime. Its production line is the 24-foot Corsair, the 52-foot Mirage, and the 180-foot Marauder medium uncrewed surface vessel. Its funding ran from a $175M Series B (2024) to a $600M Series C at $4B (February 2025) to a $1.75 billion Series D at a $9.25 billion valuation on March 31, 2026, led by Kleiner Perkins. DEPLOY records it at early commercial maturity, cleared above pure development by one real Navy contract with money obligated.
