Gecko Robotics’ Navy contract ceiling expands by $300 million

Gecko Robotics says the U.S. Navy and General Services Administration increased the ceiling value of its existing contract by $300 million, six months after an initial $71 million award. The expansion supports wider deployment of inspection robots, including Komodo, which scans through non-skid deck coatings to map corrosion and material thickness. Gecko says its technology can identify structural issues up to 50 times faster than traditional inspections; the article does not report actual shipments or spending.
