Gecko Robotics Lands $300M Expansion of Its U.S. Navy Contract

Gecko Robotics says the U.S. Navy and the General Services Administration have added $300 million to its contract, quadrupling the ceiling value just six months after an initial $71 million IDIQ award. Gecko's wall climbing robots and data platform inspect ships to cut maintenance delays.

CEO Jake Loosararian said the defense conversation has moved past experiments and is now about measurable returns.

Why it matters: defense is becoming one of the most reliable buyers of inspection robots, and a fourfold expansion is a strong signal that the Navy sees it as a working capability.
