Gecko Robotics Wins Navy Inspection Contract

Gecko Robotics will deploy wall-climbing, AI-powered inspection robots across U.S. Pacific Fleet warships under a five-year Navy contract announced this month, part of a roughly $71 million effort with an initial award up to $54 million. The systems will inspect 18 ships—destroyers, amphibious vessels and littoral combat ships—for corrosion, weld defects and fatigue to cut repair delays and help meet the Navy's 80% readiness goal by 2027.
