Vatn Systems

The United States Navy operates in increasingly contested maritime environments, but relying exclusively on multi-billion-dollar submarines is a massive strategic vulnerability against adversaries deploying inexpensive, asymmetric threats. The future of undersea deterrence requires affordable, intelligent mass. Seeing the need for rapid innovation in marine technology, founder and CEO Nelson Mills launched Vatn Systems to deliver a completely new class of underwater capability. Vatn designs and manufactures low-cost, high-speed Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) engineered specifically to     operate in cooperative swarms.

Cubit Capital backs Vatn Systems to drive critical innovation in ensuring safety and security for our country. By building highly capable autonomous systems that can be produced at scale and deployed rapidly, Vatn provides the U.S. military with an essential force multiplier, projecting power and ensuring security beneath the surface without risking human lives.
