A spherical AUV built to be dropped from the air, in numbers.
SonaSphere is an air-deployed, spherical autonomous underwater vehicle designed for mass deployment — each unit capable of independent mission execution, with swarm capability across multiple units deployed simultaneously.
| Problem solved | Mass-deploying and recovering autonomous underwater vehicles from the air is still a largely unsolved logistics problem, limiting how much ocean can realistically be covered in a single mission. |
| Key innovation | A spherical form factor purpose-built for aerial deployment, paired with autonomous, swarm-capable operation using the Emrys Sensor Suite for navigation and SatCom backhaul. |
| Target markets | Royal Navy, NATO, oceanographic research institutions, marine survey companies. |
| Status | Whitepaper in development. Development is formally deferred until the founding team's non-compete period has elapsed and legal clearance is confirmed. |
| Key milestone | Targeting the projected USD 8.72 billion UUV market by 2030. |
| Revenue model | Government procurement and scientific market sales from Year 2 onward. |
