Saronic Technologies focuses on military and defense clients, aiming to enhance situational awareness, extend operational reach, and improve survivability during maritime operations. Unlike many competitors, Saronic's ASVs can integrate with existing operational strategies or support new maritime tactics. The company's goal is to provide effective solutions that meet specific mission needs through the sale of ASVs and related customization services.
