The selected firms represent a diverse cohort of innovators specializing in multi-domain autonomous systems, counter-UxS technologies, maritime domain awareness, and advanced modeling environments. Participants include Cleo Robotics and HonuWorx in the autonomous systems sector, while companies like Allen Control Systems and Spear AI will demonstrate defensive capabilities. The event aims to bridge the gap between initial research and operational deployment, building on the momentum of 2025, which drew over 650 attendees and 52 international organizations.
Center Director Matt Watson described the transition to live, in-water demonstrations as a significant milestone, noting that these companies have already navigated a rigorous evaluation process. Beyond the primary demonstrations, organizers are hosting a 'Showcase Alley' for additional firms to exhibit their products and network with attendees. Companies interested in securing a spot for this exhibition have until Monday, July 13, to submit their applications, while general admission registration remains open to the public through the Polaris Tech Bridge website.
