DEEPDOCK

🚀 While the world pauses, we build. 🎄 It’s almost Christmas. Most people are getting into the holiday spirit—celebrating, reflecting, and taking time to rest. Here at deepdock, we’re in the workshop, bringing 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗞 —our first long range unmanned surface vessel (USV) prototype—to life. 🛥️ Why? Over the past months, interest from 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆-𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗖𝘀, and 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿-𝟭 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀—both within and outside defense—has been overwhelming. And yet, we kept saying: 🔑 “First, we need to prove to ourselves that we can build a prototype—bootstrapped, no outside funding. If we can deliver in the toughest conditions, then we can scale.” Because for us, this isn’t just about raising funds—it’s about trust, resilience, and execution. A strong foundation speaks louder than pitches. 🦈 Now, SHARK is more than a an idea. Its more than a concept. It’s a prototype in the making. 🛠️ Built in-house. 🛡️ Built for a safer, free Europe. To our supporters, friends, and future partners: 🌟 Happy Holidays. 2025 will be the year we set sail. Don’t miss it. ⚓ We’re just getting started. Visit the website (link in comments) to submit interest before we open our first funding round. 🚀

🌍 “We are not ready for what is coming in 4-5 years.” – NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte 💣 “How many more wake-up calls do we need?” At Deepdock, we hear this loud and clear. 🚤🌊 As global threats evolve, innovation in defense is no longer optional—it’s critical. We’re building the technologies needed to meet the challenges of tomorrow, today. 🛠️🚀 💬 How do you think defense innovators and leaders should respond to this urgent call to action? #DefenseInnovation #NATO #Deepdock #Security

🚀  DeepDock’s Custom Mast—Tech, Precision, and Stealth! 🛠️🌊 📡 This week, we are working on spatial integration and cable measurement for our custom-built mast to supercharge our 2nd prototype “SHARK” including: 🌐 Long-range communication system 🎥 High-quality video transmission (up to 20km) 📍 Ultra-precise GPS 👁️ High resolution optical sensor (1080p) 📏 Rangefinder for pinpoint accuracy 🕶️ Stealth-optimized design 💡 Specified as close as possible to "plug-and-play" and easy to exchange! We’re building this bootstrapped because: 💪 We value agility and independence to shape our vision. 🌱 Every resource invested reflects our commitment to exploring where real value is. Follow us & stay tuned for more updates!

Today, Anduril and Palantir Technologies are announcing a partnership to accelerate the adoption of AI for national security. Together, we’re addressing two core challenges that limit the potential of AI in defense: 1. Data Readiness: Most tactical-edge data—collected by sensors, vehicles, and autonomous systems—is lost before it can be used. This is a missed opportunity to train AI models on real-world conditions. With Anduril’s Lattice and Menace systems, we’re capturing and securing that data at the edge, creating a pipeline for AI training and inferencing that transforms operational realities. 2. Enterprise-Scale AI Deployment: Even when data is retained, the infrastructure to process, train, and deploy AI models securely and at scale doesn’t exist. That’s where Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP) comes in. AIP provides a secure, scalable environment for AI development, meeting the unique demands of classified and unclassified operations. Together, these systems unlock the full potential of defense data—turning it into actionable intelligence and next-gen capabilities. This partnership also enables collaboration with leading AI developers, including OpenAI. By connecting the tactical edge, secure cloud infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI models, we’re building the complete solution for operationalizing AI. But this is bigger than just two companies. National security AI requires a consortium of innovative partners to ensure the U.S. stays at the forefront of advanced technology. That’s the vision we’re building, starting today.

What are the BRICS nations❓ Is this the New World Order? 🌍 Most in the defence arena perceive the ongoing conflicts - Ukraine 🇺🇦, Russia 🇷🇺, Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸 - as the biggest threats to Western democracies. But few are looking beyond the battlefield to a more subtle shift, involving the interest of some NATO members in allying with the BRICS 🤔 So, what are the BRICS nations? 🇧🇷 Brazil, 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇮🇳 India, 🇨🇳 China and 🇿🇦 South Africa (as well as Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates) - an economic coalition representing over 40% of the world's population and nearly 30% of global GDP. They are working to reshape the global balance of power by challenging the dominance of the West. Here is the alarming fact: 📉 A shift of even 10% of trade or influence from the NATO economies to the BRICS-allied states could significantly undermine Europe's resilience and economic freedom. This is not just politics - it is a restructuring of power, trade and technology. At DeepDock, we are not just observers of this transformation. We are developers of cutting-edge unmanned systems 🛥️ to protect European waters, safeguard critical infrastructure and ensure freedom and security at our maritime borders 🌊⚓ The battle for democracy is not only on land and air - it is also at sea. And we are here to ensure that Europe's shores remain a bastion of freedom. 💪

Naval drones & unmanned surface vessels are decades behind air drones. ... ... ... But that's changing. Fast. ✅ Smaller, smarter, autonomous naval drones ✅ Cost-efficient, low-maintenance, mission-ready ✅ Swarming power + global remote control We’re still in the early days of this revolution. Now’s your chance to drive innovation and shape the future of naval systems. Who’s ready to leave the stone age behind? 🌟 #NavalInnovation #AutonomousDrones #TechRevolution #FutureOfDefense #deepdock

Europe's defense gap is a wake-up call. Investment in innovation isn't just about security—it's about sovereignty, resilience, and economic growth. It's time to prioritize technologies that secure our future and drive global impact. Let’s lead the change!

Why Reinvent the Wheel? 🚀 At DEEPDOCK, we believe in building smarter, not slower. Our prototyping process for our first super lightweigt boot SARDINE taps into the power of open-source technologies. Why? Because innovation thrives on speed, collaboration, and adaptability. ❌ We don’t waste time developing proprietary tools when powerful, proven solutions are already at our fingertips. ✅ We channel our focus into creating autonomy-first, lightweight, unmanned defense systems that challenge outdated norms in naval tech. For those stuck in the “traditional development” mindset: It’s time to wake up. The future isn’t about closed systems and inflated budgets—it’s about leveraging the best tools available to disrupt faster. We don’t just prototype; we prove what’s possible. 💥 #OpenSourceRevolution #NavalDisruption #DEEPDOCK

🌊 Why Go Big When You Can Go Smart? 🚢💡 At DEEPDOCK, we challenge the old-school naval landscape and the mindset of "bigger and more expensive is better." We believe it's time to shake things up. ❌ No to massive, outdated hulls. ❌ No to costly, crew-heavy vessels. ✅ Yes to sleek, autonomous solutions. That’s why our prototype SARDINE 🐟 is unmanned, super lightweight, and designed to disrupt. It will act as the “follower” in the swarming formation. We don’t believe in sticking with old hulls and outdated concepts that are originally designed to carry humans and more importantly to be operated by humans! The new tech naval future is autonomy-first. Everything else comes from that foundation. 🚀 To VCs looking at traditional models (high speed, long range etc.): it’s time to rethink. Don’t sink your resources into the past when autonomy is where the real innovation is. DEEPDOCK goes unmanned and super light-weight first!

Every great journey begins with a single step. The Wright Brothers didn’t start with a jumbo jet. They used wood, cloth, and wire! Every innovation, no matter how groundbreaking, begins with small, deliberate steps. Today, we are thrilled to share a glimpse into the early stages of our own journey. The first iteration of SARDINE our smallest Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV), a symbol of what’s to come. We’re starting super lightweight & unmanned, experimenting with new forms, and testing the waters—literally. But our goal is clear: to redefine what’s possible in maritime defense and beyond. With each design choice, each small test, we’re moving closer to building robust, agile, and intelligent USVs that will serve critical roles in complex and demanding environments. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate, test, and scale. This is only the beginning. #innovation #maritimesecurity #defensetech #USV #unmanned #autonomy #naval #beginningsofsomethinggreat
