Boeing and California-based Liquid Robotics are partnering to develop ocean drones that would provide antisubmarine warfare, maritime domain awareness and other maritime defense applications, according to the St. Louis Business Journal.

Liquid Robotics is one of several companies working on unmanned ocean vehicles, the St. Louis Business Journal reports.

Through its Hazelwood-based Defense, Space & Security unit, Boeing will provide experience in surveillance and reconnaissance solutions.

"Together, Boeing and Liquid Robotics will provide customers an integrated, seafloor-to-space capability for long duration maritime defense," Gary Gysin, president and CEO of Liquid Robotics, told the St. Louis Business Journal.
