Saronic Technologies is a defense technology company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. It designs and manufactures Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) intended for use by the U.S. military, with a focus on maritime security and domain awareness. The company was founded by a team of veterans and technologists and has grown rapidly since its inception.

The company's technical work spans several domains, including:
- Maritime and naval autonomy
- Autonomous systems integration
- Full-stack software development for autonomous platforms
- Vessel design and manufacturing

Saronic's team includes military veterans alongside technologists, and the company's stated mission centers on reducing risk to human life in naval operations while enhancing the capabilities of U.S. maritime forces.
