We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in naval warfare. It is warfare in miniature, but warfare nonetheless, with far-reaching implications for national and global security.

Navies worldwide are currently racing to develop highly advanced, unmanned microsubmarines. Thanks to a stream of scientific and technological breakthroughs in such areas as power production, propulsion, undersea communications, weapons technology, and signal processing, revolutionary miniature submarines are joining the fleets of U.S. adversaries, with others rumored to be in the pipeline.

Strikepod Systems was founded in 2016 with a singular mission: To imagine and envision this rapidly emerging micro threat. Through the medium of real-time speculative fiction, we provide warfighters and policymakers with the ideas and insights they need to successfully navigate the challenges of micronaval conflict.

We publish an array of current and strategic intelligence on micronaval affairs. We are also the developer of Strikepod Command™, an analytical war game centered on the Atom-class microsubmarine, an autonomous undersea vehicle leveraging state of the art undersea microtechnologies. Atoms are organized and deployed in Strikepods, networks of m-AUVs programmed to execute missions of varying scale and complexity, such as anti-submarine warfare (ASW), intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), mine countermeasures (MCM), and time-critical strike (TCS).
