The Problem
Maritime risk has been repriced.
War-risk premiums on Hormuz transits jumped from 1% to 5% of hull value in 2026. Insurers withdraw coverage from theaters they used to price as baseline. Operators absorb risk that prior policies covered. The same gap is opening across data centers, wind farms, refineries, and port infrastructure. The pricing model has not caught up to the threat.

Our Solution
Become SeaSafe.
Pays for itself in one voyage.*
SeaSafe is end-to-end autonomous maritime defense. A system of drones and a control plane that protects your vessel without an armed crew on deck.
What's in a SeaSafe deployment
Barrelman, the vessel-mounted overhead command unit.
Communications drones, for dialogue and intelligence gathering.
Sentry drones, for non-lethal deterrence.
Rescue drones, for SAR and recovery.
Mesh network, the connective fabric that ties Barrelman and the drones into one coordinated system.
This is Drone-Augmented Autonomous Deterrence, or DAAD. Lorica named the category.

How it works
When the system identifies a threat, the response sequence is consistent and auditable.
(a)
35 MILES RADIUS
Barrelman keeps a 35 nm detection perimeter around the vessel. Always powered. Always watching. If the bubble is pierced, the system goes into action.
(b)
Communications
A communications drone approaches the intruder, speaks the intruder's language, and gathers intelligence through dialogue. Most encounters end here.
(c)
Non-lethal Deterrence
If the encounter is judged a threat, sentry drones deploy non-lethal countermeasures to disable the intruder vessel. No armed crew. No human in the line of fire. No liability exposure.
(d)
Rescue
If recovery is required, a rescue drone deploys with a rescue package. SeaSafe also operates in rescue-only mode.
Meet Barrelman
The eyes that never blink.
Barrelman is a tethered, elevated aerial drone. Always powered. Always watching. Named for the historical maritime lookout in the crow's nest, whose job was to see what was coming before anyone else did. The job has not changed. The technology has.
SeaSafe is more than a product. It is a way to operate. SeaSafe Certification Training is how operators learn to run it, document it, and re-certify each year. The institutional arm of the Standard.
