Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) announced that its venture capital arm has invested in Ulysses, a San Francisco-based maritime robotics company that develops autonomous surface and underwater vehicles.

The investment is part of Ulysses' Series A funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism fund. Ulysses creates cost-efficient autonomous systems for maritime operations including mine countermeasures, multi-vehicle swarming, survey missions, and operations in high-risk environments.

"Maritime forces need affordable and scalable systems undersea," said Jennie Brooks, executive vice president at Booz Allen and leader of the company's Navy-Marine Corps portfolio. "Together, Ulysses and Booz Allen can provide advanced technology solutions for the undersea domain at speed, scale, and cost."

Ulysses platforms combine hardware with onboard computers to enable autonomy for infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and search and recovery operations. The company's vehicles are designed for high-volume deployment in maritime environments.

"Operating at sea still means crewed vessels at tens of thousands of dollars a day, and most of the ocean goes completely unmonitored as a result," said Akhil Voorakkara, co-founder and CEO of Ulysses. "We're building autonomous systems that change that equation by orders of magnitude."

This marks Booz Allen's first investment in the maritime sector and its first investment alongside Andreessen Horowitz since the companies announced a partnership in January 2026. Booz Allen Ventures, launched in 2022, focuses on AI, defense technology, cybersecurity, space, and reindustrialization investments. The fund increased to $300 million last year.
