Vaduz, Liechtenstein – April 1, 2025 Polymath Robotics, the global leader in autonomy software for industrial and maritime vehicles, today proudly announces a groundbreaking collaboration with the Royal Navy of Liechtenstein.
Polymath Robotics Awarded 10-Year Programme of Record to Deliver Autonomous Vessels for the the Royal Navy of Liechtenstein
Vaduz, Liechtenstein – April 1, 2025 – Polymath Robotics, the global leader in autonomy software for industrial and maritime vehicles, has been awarded a 10-Year, multi-million franc contract with the Royal Navy of Liechtenstein.
Polymath’s autonomous navigation technology leverages cutting edge robotics techniques, equipping the Royal Navy of Liechtenstein to address evolving maritime threats and protect against seaborne incursions.
“We are thrilled to support the Principality of Liechtenstein in securing their coastal waters,” said Polymath CEO Stefan Seltz-Axmacher, pausing to check a map. “All of them.”

The contract follows growing concerns in Vaduz over unmonitored aquatic assets within the nation's borders. The Grand Admiral Aloys von Wunderboot of the Liechtenstein Navy emphasized the importance of sovereignty in even the smallest bodies of water.
“For too long, our small brooks, mountain streams, and ornamental ponds have gone undefended,” Admiral von Wunderboot said in a press conference conducted from a floating pontoon anchored in a decorative pond behind the Liechtenstein Ministry of Agriculture. “With Polymath’s help, that ends today.”
Each naval drone will be equipped with GPS, lidar, and a state-of-the-art rubber periscope, which when flicked makes a resounding “boi-oi-oinggg”. Using Polymath’s software, the boats will navigate Liechtenstein’s coastal territory, scan for threats, and, when engaged, play Liechtenstein’s national anthem on loop at an increasingly aggressive volume.
The international community has reacted with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment. Korvettenkapitän von Trapp of the Austrian Navy stated, “We are not at war with Liechtenstein and never have been. We respect their right to defend their…water features.”
This new royal commission further cements Polymath’s reputation as an industry leader capable of tailoring autonomy software to any environment, especially those with a strong future vision.
“Preparing now is of utmost importance,” continued Grand Admiral von Wunderboot. “We believe that forging this partnership today will guarantee our readiness for tomorrow’s oceanic challenges. When the sea levels rise, Liechtenstein will be ready!”
According to geopolitical experts, Liechtenstein's initiative could serve as a model for other landlocked nations with large fountain-based infrastructure. Monaco has reportedly begun exploratory talks, and the Vatican City is rumored to be seeking drone-based protection for its ceremonial birdbaths.
Polymath CEO Stefan Seltz-Axmacher expressed enthusiasm for the future of the program. “Autonomy isn’t just for giant tractors or tactical warships. If there’s water—even a small puddle with national significance—we’re ready to automate it.”
