AICE
AICE is a San Francisco defense-tech startup building autonomous swarms of modular underwater drones to monitor and protect naval assets and coastal infrastructure. Backed by Y Combinator (P26), the company was founded by ex-NASA MIT aerospace engineer Gregoire Chomette and European robotics champion Remi Bouteiller, who pivoted from commercial-building energy sensors to subsea defense after talking to submariners about the gaps in current underwater robotics.
Terradepth
Terradepth is an Austin-area ocean-data and subsea-intelligence company founded in 2018 by former U.S. Navy SEALs Joe Wolfel and Judson Kauffman. It pairs autonomous underwater vehicles that collect seabed data with Absolute Ocean, a cloud-native, government-grade platform for storing, visualizing, sharing and analyzing that data. Marketed as Ocean-Data-as-a-Service (ODaaS), Terradepth serves defense, offshore energy and maritime customers who need to map, understand and protect the roughly three-quarters of the planet that lies underwater.
