OUR FOCUS

001

Most companies build autonomous vessels. We build what keeps them at sea.

Rapid Physics develops the infrastructure layer that enables offshore energy and defence operators to deploy fleets of unmanned surface vessels and keep them on station, mission after mission, without human recovery.

// FEATURED CAPABILITY

Persistent Maritime Presence.

Our infrastructure keeps USV fleets operating continuously in the maritime zones that matter most — contested borders, energy fields, and critical offshore assets. Extending endurance while eliminating support vessel assistance.

Questions & answers

What investors & partners usually ask.

Who we are, what we’re focused on, and why now.

Who we are, what we’re focused on, and why now.

What exactly does Rapid Physics build?

Rapid Physics is a marine robotics company. We deliver autonomous capability for the operators who need unmanned vessels working continuously at sea — defence forces protecting maritime borders, and offshore energy operators sustaining critical assets. Our stack combines mission autonomy, fleet command, persistent comms, and maritime ISR into a single sovereign capability.

Who are your customers?

Two core groups. Defence forces and government agencies responsible for maritime security and offshore energy operators (oil, gas, offshore wind) sustaining critical infrastructure in those same waters. Prime contractors and integrators building or fielding unmanned maritime capability for either market fit alongside.

Why focus on these two markets?

Marine autonomy is a wide field. Defence and offshore energy share the same operational problem — they both need persistent unmanned presence in waters that are expensive, dangerous, or impossible to crew continuously. The technical solution is the same. Building once for two markets is how a focused early-stage company ships real capability without spreading thin.

Are you raising capital?

Yes — we're raising from defence-focused investors aligned with sovereign maritime capability in Australia and the UK. Get in touch for a briefing on stage, roadmap, and how the round is structured.

How does the same platform serve both markets?

The hard problems are identical: getting a USV to deploy autonomously, stay on station for weeks at a time, communicate through harsh conditions, and feed decision-grade data back to operators. Whether the mission is patrolling an EEZ or surveying a subsea pipeline, the autonomy stack underneath is the same. We build it once, configure it per mission.
