Hydronalix has an approved U.S. Federal Government cost accounting system by the Defense Contract Management Agency.  

 

Additionally, the company employs a full staff for administration, marketing, R&D, manufacturing, testing and evaluation, customer support, and training operations.   The company’s headquarters is in Green Valley, AZ and has recently opened a second manufacturing facility in Tucson, AZ.  Hydronalix has distributors in the U.S., Europe, Middle East, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.  

 

Hydronalix's concept is to use the most advanced materials systems and technologies to maximize performance, efficiency, and durability in a new generation of micro unmanned surface vehicles and air vehicles. The executive team and board members have strong backgrounds in research, development, manufacturing and design of advanced composite materials and specialty high end ceramics along with UAVs. With staff based in Malibu, CA, the team had unlimited access for ocean testing on a daily basis while developing the company's advanced designs. With-in the first year the company had its first missions with NOAA in the Channel Islands, and then shortly after the company had a SONAR EMILY mapping mission at the glacial lake Imja Tsho in Nepal at the base of Mount Everest.  Since the beginning, the company’s products have participated in a continuous stream of mission deployments for critical needs all across the globe.  On average, Hydronalix USV systems are commissioned globally into service with a new agency or unit every week.
