Brunswick leans on AI tech and boat clubs to shore up sales

Brunswick Corp., parent of Sea Ray and Boston Whaler, is betting on autonomous docking and other marine technology plus its Freedom Boat Club membership to offset weak new-boat demand. About 60% of earnings already come from aftermarket or recurring revenue, and the company aims for $7–$8 billion in revenue by 2030 with 10%–13% operating margins and $8–$12 per share in earnings, while expanding Navico electronics and reducing China-sourced parts to cut supply-chain risk.

Voyager Space Partners with Northrop Grumman for Starlab Space Station

Voyager Space has announced a teaming agreement with Northrop Grumman to develop autonomous rendezvous and docking technology for Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft and provide cargo resupply services for the Starlab space station. The collaboration aims to strengthen the development of Starlab and the enhanced Cygnus system for NASA's Commercial Low-Earth Orbit Development program. Northrop Grumman will upgrade its Cygnus cargo vehicle with a fully autonomous docking system, enabling independent docking between spacecraft. The Cygnus spacecraft will deliver pressurized cargo to Starlab over a five-year period, supporting future human spaceflight missions.
