Leaders from Greenroom Robotics and SubSea Craft following the signing of the teaming agreement.

6 November – Indopac Sydney / London: SubSea Craft (SSC) and Australian company Greenroom Robotics have signed a teaming agreement marking the next step in strengthening collaboration across the AUKUS technology ecosystem.

Aligned with the vision of AUKUS Pillar 2, SSC has self-funded the design and build of three advanced platforms – MARS, VICTA, and CADDIS. Encompassing stated AUKUS priorities such as Maritime Autonomy, Rapid Capability Delivery and Manned / Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T), SSC and Greenroom technologies have already been demonstrated and validated in Australia and the United States, proving their ability to deliver real operational impact for the warfighter.

The new agreement will advance the MARS platform through integration of Greenroom Robotics' world-leading autonomous technology, while opening further opportunities for joint development in Australia.

The MARS platform has undergone extensive testing in Tasmania, Australia, a region uniquely positioned for maritime innovation. Tasmania's nine deregulated waterways provide a unique environment for prototype development, allowing testing in a diverse range of environments with multiple depths and water speeds. This flexibility has accelerated validation and refinement, moving the platform rapidly towards broader deployment.

As Indo-Pacific maritime environments become increasingly complex, this partnership brings together leading-edge technologies and operational experience to enhance AUKUS' shared maritime security and resilience.

Camilla Martin, CEO of SubSea Craft, said:

This teaming agreement is another step in strengthening the AUKUS ecosystem and will be crucial to our success as a credible partner to the AUKUS nations. Agility is key. To meet the pace that the warfighter deserves, it is vital we work with leading technology companies, pooling knowledge and expertise in support of those on the frontline.

Through collaboration with partners like Greenroom, SSC is building more than individual platforms; it is contributing to an AUKUS-wide innovation ecosystem, where technologies are designed in the UK, co-developed in Australia, and integrated with US payloads. This approach ensures that capabilities are not only cutting-edge, but mission-relevant, scalable and available when most needed.

Harry Hubbert, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Greenroom Robotics, said the partnership sets a new standard for next-generation naval interoperability.

We are proud that Greenroom's advanced maritime autonomy has been chosen to power SubSea Craft's pioneering MARS platform. The rapid delivery of proven capability is critical for protecting our maritime environments. This partnership will deliver force multiplier effects to secure our vast oceans.

He added that:

The MARS uncrewed surface vessel enables powerful human-machine teaming, helping to keep people, our forces' most valuable assets, out of harm's way.
