Seasats

Seasats and @neros_tech are pairing maritime persistence with precision strike capability to deliver affordable effects at scale.

The partnership brings Neros’ Archer 10" Strike and Archer AI FPV drones aboard Quickfish, combining 40-knot sprint speed and multi-week loiter endurance with several strike drones carried in an enclosed, modular payload bay.

Satellite connectivity allows pilots to operate from anywhere in the world, well beyond visual line of sight. Operators can maintain presence, reposition quickly, and respond from the air without putting a crew on the water.

“Maritime awareness matters most when operators can act on what they see,” said Mike Flanigan, co-founder and CEO of Seasats.

Seasats’ Lightfish has received the first Naval Permit to Operate issued under Australia’s Defence Seaworthiness Program, showing that autonomous vessels can be assessed and authorized to operate in Australian Defence service.

The permit allowed Lightfish to participate in Rim of the Pacific 2026, the world’s largest international maritime exercise. This approval establishes a practical pathway for testing new maritime capabilities in Australia.

Maritime autonomy is expanding what’s possible at sea while helping reduce the physical and mental toll of crewed deployments.

@TheHustle spoke with Seasats CEO Mike Flanigan about how robotics and autonomy are expanding access to the ocean, and with @USNavy veteran Mike Lehn about the potential for autonomous vessels to ease the demands on those who serve at sea.

On October 6th, Seasats’ new 60,000-square-foot headquarters was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating the people behind its growth and the capacity to deliver more capability on the water.

Thank you to the team, families, customers, partners, and community leaders who joined the celebration and continue to support the company’s mission.

Over the past six years, Seasats has grown from a small team into a trusted provider of autonomous surface vessels for the U.S. government and other customers. Now, the company has the infrastructure for the next level of scale.

Earlier this summer, Seasats' Lightfish was deployed as part of Exercise Northern Viking 2026 in Iceland, supporting Commander, Task Force 66 in training U.S. and Icelandic Coast Guard operators on unmanned surface vessel operations in the North Atlantic.

Northern Viking 2026 is a joint force and allied live exercise designed to strengthen interoperability and readiness across the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom gap. As allied ships and aircraft patrolled the Icelandic coastline, Lightfish operators trained on deploying and controlling autonomous surface vessels built to provide persistent maritime domain awareness in all weather and sea conditions.

The Icelandic Coast Guard knows these waters better than anyone. Lightfish gives them the tools to monitor them persistently and autonomously.
