Navier is revolutionizing naval performance through its advanced vessels, making it the sole U.S.-based company developing this class of technology with proprietary flight control systems derived from aerospace engineering. Their electric hydrofoiling vessels unlock a powerful new toolkit for military and defense applications. With their elevated, ultra-stable platform, Navier vessels provide an ideal base for operations or weapons systems, ensuring precision without the need for large hulls or external stabilizers. Navier boats offer unmatched high-speed maneuverability with a smooth flight above the chop, drastically reducing crew fatigue or injury.
The company is pioneering the next-generation maritime tech stack, engineered and built entirely in the United States. Their platform integrates aerospace-grade vessel architecture with built-in redundancy and zero single points of failure, delivering the reliability required for mission-critical operations. Vessels are equipped with real-time collision detection, obstacle avoidance, and they lay the infrastructure for end-to-end autonomy – from precision docking to dynamic navigation in unpredictable sea conditions. This vertically integrated approach allows Navier to deliver modular, upgradeable capabilities that can adapt to commercial, government, or defense use cases – all within a unified control framework.
