Mission‑Ready Solutions, Warfighter‑Driven Approach
Veteran‑led maritime training, testing, and operational support—proven on operational vessels under realistic conditions. Data you can brief; capability you can deploy
ABOUT TIDEBORN
Tideborn Defense (SDVOSB) designs, integrates, and fields mission‑configurable platforms and kits that increase readiness, endurance, and lethality at the tactical edge.
We prove capability on operational vessels under realistic conditions—so leaders can brief results, not demos.
We align to DoD modernization priorities: accelerate fielding, validate distributed maritime C2/ISR (e.g., Project Overmatch and CJADC2 objectives), and strengthen the U.S. maritime industrial base through U.S.-led design, integration, and yard partnerships.
