BlackBoats – Europe’s Autonomous Navy of the Future
We are building Europe’s autonomous navy of the future. Since 2019, we’ve pioneered autonomous systems for boats and ships.
As early as 2021, we began shaping dual-use technologies — not by chance, but by necessity.
Strategic actors approached us with one question: Can your systems do more?
The answer became BlackBoats.
Geopolitical realities sharpened our focus.
Today, we operate at the frontier of tactical AI and swarm-capable maritime systems.
BlackBoats was born to protect what matters: freedom, infrastructure, and transformation.
Energy transition needs security. Sovereignty needs readiness. Defence needs innovation.
Our passion and ambition:
- cutting-edge on-scene decision-making (edge computing)
- swarm-capable, low-emission, and low-profile
- built for dynamic response, escalating autonomy, and modular firepower
- coordinated via AI-driven swarm operations — not remote control
- designed to secure critical maritime infrastructure in every escalation phase
- scaling persistent maritime surveillance and deterrence
Enduring autonomous defence at sea
Autonomous systems operate 24/7.
They don’t tire, blink, or hesitate.
They ensure enduring surveillance and readiness — against sabotage, hybrid threats, and foreign aggression.
The Baltic Sea proves the point: threats are no longer theoretical. They are here. Our response must be real.
For the long game, autonomy is not just strategic.
It’s economic. Scalable. Sovereign.
We protect what matters
Freedom isn’t free.
For a sovereign Europe, we must ensure our values are understood, defended, and empowered — across borders, together with allies and partners.
BlackBoats is ready to step up.
Deterrence by innovation. Securing the future of tomorrow.
