  • Seasats was awarded an $89 million SBIR Phase III IDIQ contract tied to Navy and Marine Corps demand for autonomous maritime systems.
  • The company linked the award to prior operational milestones, including the Lightfish Pacific crossing and related defense activity.
  • It matters because it was a major defense procurement signal that moved Seasats beyond startup promise into scaled program relevance.

Seasats builds small autonomous surface vessels for defense, commercial and scientific missions. Its platform family supports persistent maritime ISR, patrol and environmental data collection.
