An autonomous-vessel company from the Gulf Coast.
PhantomNav LLC is based in Pensacola, Florida. We design, integrate and produce autonomous surface vessels and the software that runs them, for government, defense and commercial operators.
Put persistent presence on the water
Make autonomous patrol vessels practical for the organisations that need them most: port authorities, enforcement agencies, environmental regulators, responders and defense.
Proven hulls, one stack
We start from proven hulls and propulsion wherever we can and engineer custom only where the mission demands it. The autonomy, safety and fleet software are ours, and they are common across the fleet.
Trust is engineered
Open, auditable control software. An allied-origin supply chain. Test evidence for every claim. We would rather show you a recorded failure and its fix than an unbacked number.
Honest about the road.
PhantomNav is in its build phase. Here is exactly where the program stands.
Fleet software
The operations console and partner portal are live, access-controlled and protected by multi-factor sign-in.
Autonomy and navigation
Safety behaviors run in simulation on the exact autopilot release we ship; navigation evaluated on recorded real-world interference data.
Eight vessel classes
All eight classes are in design, with the common electronics pod engineered through bench-build readiness.
Pathfinder on the water
Our first on-water demonstrator, built on the Defender-class platform in Pensacola.
Built next to the water we test on.
The Gulf Coast gives us sheltered bays, open water and a deep maritime and defense community within reach. Sea trials start at the dock, not after a road trip.
Not hiring publicly yet.
If you build marine systems, autonomy or safety-critical software and want to be on the list when we are, introduce yourself.
