MARTAC MANTAS

Accelerating Innovation in Unmanned Surface Vehicles

BlueZone supplier MARTAC has launched a new series of MANTAS Performance and Capability videos showing just how far the MANTAS unmanned surface vehicles have been developed. The MANTAS ballasting system and water-tight compartmentalisation virtually eliminates the risk of broaching. The simultaneous stowage and deployment of payloads, and the ballasting stern well-deck launch/recovery approach, provide flexibility and reduce the time required to complete missions such as MCM and ISR.

Many navies are interested in using unmanned maritime systems to perform a wide variety of missions and relieve sailors from the dull, dangerous and dirty tasks that are essential in many naval operations. MARTAC has evolved the MANTAS over the past several years and continues to participate in fleet concentration exercises to put it into the hands of operators, building experience from real-world operations and feeding lessons-learner back into the evolving design. MARTAC shares the U.S. Navy’s commitment—as well as the commitment of other navies—to making unmanned surface vehicles like MANTAS an important part of the war fighters’ arsenal.

The MARTAC range of evolving, robust and affordable unmanned surface vehicles have become better-and-better year over year because sailors and marines have provided invaluable feedback as to how our USVs can best meet their warfighting needs. The performance and capability videos at the links below leave no doubt about the capabilities that are available now to meet the evolving naval threats of the twenty-first century.
