C2 Robotics
"Small, Smart, Many."
Australian-owned Melbourne firm rapidly developing robotics and autonomous systems for defence across maritime, land and air domains.
C2 Robotics Pty Ltd is a 100% Australian owned and operated company based in Melbourne specialising in the rapid development of robotics and autonomous systems for Defence applications across the maritime, land and air domains. The company describes itself as a leader in robotics, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence, working closely with local partners and suppliers to advance the sovereign capability of Australia. Its flagship product is Speartooth, a next-generation autonomous Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (LUUV) built for scalable maritime operations; Speartooth features a modular design, minimal infrastructure requirements and low cost that enable fast integration, flexible mission tailoring and rapid deployment, delivering operational capability for stealthy execution of complex undersea missions. C2 Robotics also develops OGRE (Optically Guided Remote Effect), an advanced, highly accurate, A2AD-capable optically guided payload delivery system designed to scale across a wide range of operational deployment scenarios, from high-altitude air delivery to dismounted soldier indirect-fire capability.
The company has secured export sales of Speartooth, including its first US export LUUV and a German sale marking its European debut, and Speartooth has been confirmed as part of Australian Defence Force force structure under the 2026 National Defence Strategy. C2 Robotics has also partnered with Thales and Austal on an undersea surveillance network to monitor Australia's naval chokepoints. The company's positioning around large numbers of small, smart autonomous systems reflects a force-mass approach to maritime and multi-domain defence robotics.
