Skana Robotics Unveils Scalable Maritime Autonomy Designed for Operational Resilience

Monday, September 1st, 2025

The company’s first vessels- Bull Shark (USV) and Stingray (UUV) – introduce software-defined, mission-adaptive capabilities across surface and sub-surface domains

DSEI UK, Spetember 9-12 2025, Booth N11-100

September 01, 2025 – Skana Robotics, a defense-tech company founded by veterans of naval special operations and robotics experts, is introducing the first two platforms of its new class of autonomous maritime systems: the Bull Shark (Autonomous Surface Vessel) and the Stingray (Autonomous Underwater Vessel). These platforms represent a shift toward software-defined, scalable, and operationally flexible naval assets, engineered for teaming with both manned and unmanned systems across distributed maritime operations. With initial orders already secured, Skana is entering the next phase of scaling deployment with operational partners worldwide.

Developed with a focus on mass production, flexibility, and NATO-standard integration, the new platforms are designed to extend naval presence while minimizing logistical footprint and cost. All Skana systems are designed to evolve through code and enable seamless interoperability with existing legacy fleets and allied systems.

Skana’s production methodology removes traditional barriers to naval expansion, enabling allied nations to deploy thousands of autonomous vessels without relying on shipyards or cumbersome manufacturing processes that compromise mission effectiveness. This approach redefines how maritime resilience can be achieved at scale and what a truly self-sustained force structure looks like.

The Bull Shark is a tactical ASV designed for multiple missions including ISR and interdiction. It features a scalable design, a payload capacity of up to 150 kg, and functions as a communications hub to coordinate multiple surface and sub-surface assets.

The Stingray is a loitering AUV designed for ISR, ASW, and infrastructure protection in complex underwater terrains. It supports autonomous underwater navigation, seabed anchoring, silent standby and reactivation mode. It offers a standard 24-hour battery life, extendable through battery module, and can belaunched from a designated underwater docking station, submarines, patrol boats, or other Skana or Naval vessels.

At the heart of Skana’s unmanned fleet is SeaSphere™, Skana’sresource allocation and mission planning engine, and Vera™, a proprietary ROS2-based mission execution and supervision layer. Vera translates fleet-wide directives into localized autonomous actions, adapting to environmental changes in real time. This architecture enables distributed command, unmanned-unmanned collaboration, and real-time teaming with manned platforms.

“The maritime domain demands autonomy that can survive complexity, adapt instantly, and operate without compromise,” said Idan Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Skana Robotics. “We are making advanced autonomous capabilities accessible and scalable, enabling wide deployment and synergy between systems. Our ecosystem of vessels and technologies supports real-time data sharing, modular reconfiguration, and both fully autonomous and remotely operated missions, offering navies unmatched operational resilience, adaptability, and flexibility.”

Qore Performance Launches ICESLEEVES: Year-Round Thermoregulation Sleeves for Cooling and Heating in Any Environment

Monday, September 1st, 2025

Knoxville, TN — Qore Performance, Inc. announces the launch of ICESLEEVES, a new modular thermoregulation solution engineered to deliver cooling and heating exactly where it counts: your body’s pulse points. ICESLEEVES draw from combat-proven TCCC protocols and are optimized for real-world application across military, industrial, tactical, and athletic environments.

Designed for standalone use or integration with Qore Performance’s larger IceAge Ecosystem, ICESLEEVES deliver precision temperature control while preserving hydration, mobility, and mental clarity in extreme climates.

Precision Cooling and Heating
ICESLEEVES regulate core temperature by targeting the brachial and ulnar/radial arterial complexes—commonly known as pulse points.

Cooling: Insert conventional ice cubes into built-in pockets for conductive and evaporative cooling, lowering core temperature in hot, dry conditions.

Heating: In cold environments, insert disposable hand warmers (sold separately) to apply conductive warmth directly to circulating blood.

Evaporative Advantage: As ice melts, it draws heat away from the body through conduction. The resulting meltwater then evaporates from the fabric and skin surface, absorbing additional heat and accelerating cooling—especially in hot, dry conditions.

Subtle, Low-Profile Design
Built for year-round use, ICESLEEVES are slim enough to be worn on their own or discreetly under uniforms, outerwear, or armor—without adding bulk or limiting mobility.

UPF 50 Rating: Provides chemical-free sun protection.
Modular Compatibility: Pair with ICEPLATE® or ICEFLASK™ to build a complete, multi-point thermoregulation system.
Universal Application: Ideal for military, law enforcement, QSR drive-thru operators, CrossFit athletes, skiers, snowboarders, runners, hikers, backpackers, and more.

“ICESLEEVES were developed to give users across all industries the ability to control their thermal environment without compromising mobility or uniform requirements,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager at Qore Performance, Inc. “Whether you’re in a drive-thru window in the summer or standing post in sub-freezing temperatures, ICESLEEVES provide critical environmental inoculation with zero bulk.”

ICESLEEVES are available now exclusively at QorePerformance.com.

Bay Law Injury Attorneys To Award A Tiny Home To A Deserving Veteran On Veterans Day

Southern Nevada Veterans Organizations and Community Leaders Join Efforts to Develop and Promote the Veteran Nomination Process

LAS VEGAS, NV (August 25, 2025) – On Veterans Day, November 11, 2025, the Bay Law Injury Attorneys will award ownership of a fully functional Tiny Home and its property to a deserving veteran in Southern Nevada. The home was built from the ground up by Shop Class high school students under the guidance of JAG Development and local construction and trade professionals who volunteered their time and expertise as teachers and mentors.

“While most Southern Nevada veterans are thriving, many others face serious challenges once they leave the military,” said Deniz Bayramoglu, Managing Attorney of Bay Law Injury Attorneys in Henderson, Nevada. “They need a strong support system that helps them adjust to civilian life, find good jobs and access affordable housing. The Shop Class program is one part of an overall solution that helps meets the needs of these veterans.”

This support system includes local Veterans Services Organizations (VSOs) that provide a wide range of educational, career, social and health services that help improve the quality of life for veterans. Master The Network, the Southern Nevada Veterans Chamber of Commerce (SNVCC) and other community stakeholders are working with Bay Law to identify, nominate and evaluate veterans eligible to receive the Tiny Home award.

The team is finalizing a list of information that must be provided for each applicant or nominee to be considered for the award, such as name, contact information (if known), military branch, service dates, discharge status and a brief description of why the veteran deserves the award.

Veterans may need to show financial readiness, including the ability to pay utilities, insurance, property taxes and the cost of basic home and property upkeep. The official evaluation criteria will be published at BayLawInjury.com/veterans before Monday August 25, 2025, when the application/nomination process begins.

“Any veteran in Southern Nevada with an Honorable Discharge or Other Than Honorable Discharge can apply or be nominated to receive the Tiny Home award,” said Monifa Caines, is a former Air Force trauma nurse and 99th Air Base Wing Executive Officer who served more than eight years in Italy, Spain and Nevada and in classified locations around the world. “We all want to make sure this program prioritizes veterans most at risk of homelessness, but the evaluation process will be guided by fairness, need and sustainability.”

Caines said the Bay Law and Shop Class program extends beyond providing a home to include access to legal guidance, financial resources and other “wraparound” services that help ensure the veteran achieves long-term independence.

“The whole community plays a vital role,” said Edgar Rodriguez, Founder and CEO of Master The Network. “The program truly succeeds when businesses, nonprofits and residents work together to maximize benefits and make sure veterans don’t just get housed, they get integrated back into a supportive community.

“The Bay Law and Shop Class program proves what’s possible when education meets mission, he added. “It’s not just about building and awarding homes, it’s about laying a new foundation for how Southern Nevada repays its veterans.”

Veterans can apply or be nominated at BayLawInjury.com/veterans from Monday, August 25 to Friday October 10.The Tiny Home recipient will be announced on Veterans Day, Tuesday November 11. The award also includes the property where the home will be installed and connected to all utilities. The keys will be handed to the veteran in mid-November.

“Bay Law has partnered with JAG Development to secure land in the Mineral Bay Development on Texas Avenue and Army Street near Water Street in Henderson,” Bayramoglu said. “This will be the first site in a whole community of tiny homes. And we’re planning to build and expand each year to support more veterans in Southern Nevada and, eventually, across the country.”

“This program is about more than a home,” said Lester Lumbad, president of the SNVCC. “It’s about showing what can happen when veteran and community organizations come together with a shared purpose. We’re creating a model for collaboration that gives a deserving veteran a place to live and builds a stronger network of support so veterans have a real pathway to stability and growth. When the community rallies around veterans in this way, everybody benefits.”

“We urge everyone in Southern Nevada to participate in our nomination campaign,” said Bayramoglu. “And ask your family, friends, colleagues and online communities to give the veterans they know a chance to make a fresh start and change their life.”
