CORAS.ai South Opens in Tampa, Florida to Advance Agentic AI Support for Maritime Operations and the Defense Industrial Base

New Tampa presence expands CORAS.ai’s ability to support maritime and defense missions with secure, IL5/6++ Agentic Decision Intelligence

McLEAN, VA, May 28, 2026 – CORAS.ai, the only IL5/6++ Agentic AI Decision Intelligence platform in the DoW, today announced the establishment of CORAS.aiSouth, a strategic Tampa, Florida presence created to better support maritime operations, defense readiness, and the growing national security ecosystem across the Southeast.

The new CORAS.ai South office reflects the company’s continued investment in bringing secure, mission-ready Agentic AI closer to the customers, partners, and operational environments driving the future of U.S. defense. With Tampa’s proximity to MacDill Air Force Base, U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Central Command, the Gulf Coast maritime economy, and a growing defense technology community, CORAS.ai is positioning its team to respond faster to emerging mission needs across the Navy, maritime, and broader defense industrial base.

The expansion comes as the Department of War and maritime industrial base face mounting pressure to accelerate shipbuilding, strengthen readiness, improve supply chain visibility, and make faster, more defensible decisions across complex acquisition, budget, workforce, and operational environments. CORAS.ai brings secure Agentic AI to the maritime operational base, including contracts with Portfolio Acquisition Maritime (PAE-Maritime) and NAVSEA. Partnering directly with mission leaders and teams, CORAS.ai replaces multiple systems, connects data, automates workflows, and produces decision-ready outcomes at the speed the mission requires.

“CORAS.ai South adds physical proximity to our renowned speed, security, and responsiveness,” said DanNaselius, President and CTO of CORAS.ai.“CORAS Agentic AI delivers repeatable, secure, and exponentialproductivity in real mission environments. CORAS South brings that capabilitycloser to the maritime and defense partners who need it now.”

CORAS.ai’s platform enables government and defense organizations to move beyond static dashboards and manual data calls by deploying AI agents that execute governed workflows, generate decision artifacts, automate reporting, support scenario modeling, and provide auditable recommendations with 10-50x productivity. The platform is designed for high-stakes environments where speed, security, transparency, and human oversight are essential. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, CORAS.ai is built for governed mission execution. Its embedded AI agent,GARY, operates within defined workflows, role-based permissions, audit trails, and human review gates, enabling agencies to harness its powerful processing engine while maintaining control, transparency, and accountability.

For maritime and shipbuilding missions, CORAS.ai unifies data across contracts, schedules, financial execution, risk, workforce, industrial base capacity, and operational readiness while keeping the essential human-in-the-loop visibility. This gives leaders a secure decision layer for understanding tradeoffs, identifying bottlenecks, forecasting impacts, and accelerating action across programs and organizations.

The Tampa expansion aligns with CORAS.ai’s broader growth across defense and federal markets, including increased demand for secure Agentic AI capabilities that can support acquisition, financial management, readiness, portfolio management, and operational execution. As agencies look to reduce manual work, add digital workforce agents, improve accountability, and accelerate mission outcomes, CORAS.ai provides a COTS platform built to help teams turn data into decisions, and decisions into action.

About CORAS.ai: CORAS and its Agentic Agent, GARY, operate at IL5/6++ and FedRAMP High  including NIPR, SIPR, and other trusted environments, delivering substantial ROI and 50+x productivity gains. Agencies can acquire CORAS and GARY through GSA, NASA SEWP, SBIR Phase III, Tradewinds AI Marketplace, Carahsoft, and AWS partner channels. Learn more at www.coras.ai.
