Yes, at Ulysses we're building the ocean company.
Essentially, if you have a difficult or tough problem to solve in the surface or subsea domain, we build autonomous robots that solve that problem.
You know, the platform is basically autonomous surface vehicles combined with autonomous underwater vehicles built to be kind of cheap enough that you can kind of deploy them at scale over large swathes of the ocean, that they can work together autonomously to kind of solve some of the most critical tasks in our oceans.
Like what kind of critical tasks?
Yeah, sure.
We have three main verticals that we operate in.
We actually began, you know, because we were very interested in problems in the world of kind of conservation and nature.
And that was kind of the first use case we built our autonomous and water vehicle, Mako 4.
So that is doing things like mapping coral reefs, mapping undersea ecosystems, using the vehicles to collect seeds and replant them in new locations.
That was kind of like a first and early use case.
Then, you know, after that, we kind of
got pulled into our second vertical, which is what we call the commercial vertical.
The commercial vertical, we're doing things like inspecting offshore wind platforms, inspecting subsea cables, doing repairs on undersea infrastructure.
There's billions of dollars of assets in the Earth's oceans owned by energy companies
and telecoms companies.
So just basically, you know, protecting them and that sort of thing and keeping them up to date.
And then, you know, now actually as well, you know, we got pulled into the world of events by the U.S.
Navy.
They came to us when they heard about our underwater vehicle.
They were extremely impressed with some of the specs and very dissatisfied with a lot of the existing options given by the Prime's
