BREAKING: Inside Saronic’s HQ
Tour in Austin, TX w/ Co-Founder & CEO Dino Mavrookas (@MavrookasD)
FACTORY TOUR (Part I)
Founded in 2022, @Saronic has grown from testing autonomy on an $800 Amazon raft to building vessels at industrial scale at their 420K sqft facility - home to Corsair & Mirage autonomous vessel production lines.
Now, they're expanding into shipbuilding with Port Alpha, a $3B+, 835-acre shipyard in Brownsville, TX.
We cover:
› Corsair: 2,000-unit annual capacity & a $392M Navy production contract
› Mirage: 52 feet, 15X Corsair’s volume, 2,500 nm range & now in sea trials
› Port Alpha: $3B+, 835 acres & 1.5X current U.S. shipbuilding capacity
› The first autonomous combat search & rescue, recovering 2 downed Apache aircrew off Oman
› Corsair’s combat debut at Bandar Abbas
