NADIR SYSTEMS · HADAL-CLASS AUTONOMOUS PROBE
Most of the planet
has never been seen.
Eighty percent of the seafloor is unmapped. NADIR One dives to full ocean depth, works alone for 72 hours, and returns with survey data no satellite can touch. No tether. No pilot. No support ship burning $180,000 a day.

−200 M · TWILIGHT ZONE
Where sunlight gives up,
the sensors take over.
Below 200 meters the last blue light dies. From here down, NADIR One is the light — and everything it touches becomes data you own outright.

1,100 bar wants to
crush your hardware.
We designed for 1,400.
At full depth the ocean presses on every square centimeter with the weight of a car. NADIR One's core is a Grade 5 titanium sphere, machined as two hemispheres and mated to a tolerance of eight microns.

No pilot. No tether.
No excuses.
A tether is a leash, a failure point, and a ship you have to pay for. NADIR One navigates by terrain — matching live sonar against its own growing map — and replans its survey on the fly when the seafloor surprises it.
- NAVIGATIONTerrain-relative · drift < 0.1% of distance
- UPLINKAcoustic burst summaries every 20 min
- REPLANNINGOnboard · reprioritizes targets mid-mission
- RECOVERYSurfaces within 5 m of the drop point

This is the console your survey team gets. Wake the floodlights, fire a sonar ping, plan a dive. The vehicle in the water behind this page responds.

Six survey slots.
One 2027 campaign.
A NADIR survey block is 21 days on station, up to 14 full-depth dives, and exclusive rights to every byte the vehicle brings back. We build slowly and dive carefully — which means capacity is real, and it runs out.
