Cipher is a military autonomous surface vessel announced by Saronic Technologies in the United States. Saronic described the platform as a 60-foot ASV intended to extend the range and carrying capacity of its autonomous vessel family for U.S. and allied maritime forces, while also supporting commercial port-to-port logistics and harbor operations. Published announcement specifications list range exceeding 3,000 nautical miles, converted here to about 5,556 km, 10,000 lb / about 4,536 kg carrying capacity, and 35+ knot speed. Cipher shares Saronic's unified autonomy stack, vertically integrated hardware-software development model, and open modular software architecture for mission-specific payload integration across distributed maritime operations.

Notes
Saronic announced Cipher with Mirage in April 2025 as a 60 ft ASV with over 3,000 nmi range and 10,000 lb carrying capacity. Current Saronic vessel marketing emphasizes Corsair, Mirage, and Marauder, so this entry follows the official Saronic announcement and contemporary trade reporting for the distinct Cipher model.
