The company building underwater drones for $50,000

Ulysses builds modular underwater drones at $50K versus $5M Navy incumbents, aiming to scale from hundreds of units to millions annually.

• $50K robots vs. $5M incumbents: Ulysses sells its Mako underwater vehicle to the US Navy for as little as $50,000, versus ~$5 million for the Navy's current standard autonomous underwater vehicle.
• Vertical integration for scale: Ulysses builds its own software, is bringing sonar and inertial navigation in-house, and plans a factory next year to go from ~1,000 units/year toward 'millions' — versus today's industry-wide 1,000-2,000 underwater drones built annually.
