Blue Water Autonomy

Blue Water Autonomy is a Boston-based defense technology company building autonomous warships for open-ocean operations, with the goal of revitalizing U.S. shipbuilding through scalable, reliable, uncrewed naval vessels. Founded in 2025 by Rylan Hamilton (ex-U.S. Navy officer and founder of 6 River Systems), Scott N. Miller (ocean engineer and early iRobot engineer), and Austin Gray (former Navy intelligence officer), the company unveiled its 190-foot Liberty Class autonomous ship platform for the U.S. Navy in February 2026. Backed by a $50M Series A led by GV, Blue Water Autonomy operates from offices in Boston MA, Washington DC, Morgan City LA, and San Diego CA. This is a company profile in the API Evangelist network; the company publishes no public API, developer portal, or SDK surface as of this enrichment pass.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Blue Water Autonomy the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Blue Water Autonomy scores 12.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
