About

About Mirage

Saronic specifies a 52-foot hull with travel distance above 2,500 nautical miles, speed over 35 knots and capacity for 3,500 pounds of mission equipment. A configurable architecture accepts sensing, communications and logistics packages for distributed work at sea, placing the craft between the company’s smaller Corsair and much larger Marauder classes.

The associated software provides route planning, browser-based supervision and coordination among multiple crewed or uncrewed assets. Resilient links exchange mission and telemetry data, while digital twins and simulation support planning before physical execution. Published specifications describe the vessel’s rated envelope; performance and task maturity still depend on the payload, communications environment and operating configuration chosen for a particular mission.
