Offering Speed, Flexibility, and Advanced Autonomy, MARTAC USVs are Built to Perform in the Most Challenging Environments

Engineered to deliver high-speed, autonomous performance across a wide range of maritime applications, MARTAC’s Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), include the cutting-edge Devil Ray and MANTAS series. From defence and commercial tasks to environmental monitoring, these versatile vessels represent the forefront of innovation in unmanned maritime technology.

Common features across MARTAC’s unmanned surface vessels include advanced sliding autonomy, allowing operators to seamlessly switch between full control, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous modes to suit mission requirements. Their open architecture supports plug-and-play integration of a wide range of sensors and payloads, providing versatility and customisation for diverse operational needs. Built with redundant systems, these vessels ensure high reliability and mission assurance even in demanding environments. Optional stealth mode enables low-visibility operations when discretion is critical, while select models are equipped with solar panels to extend endurance, making them capable of longer, more sustainable deployments.

The Devil Ray series offers versatile USVs tailored for a range of demanding maritime missions. The T38 Devil Ray, measuring 38 feet (11.1 meters) in length, boasts a maximum payload capacity of 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg) and is powered by an inboard/outboard diesel or gas engine. It delivers impressive burst speeds between 70 and 100+ knots, with a range extending up to 1,200 nautical miles. This model is ideal for complex operations such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), contested logistics, port security, and environmental monitoring. Complementing the T38, the T24 Devil Ray is a more compact 24-foot (7.2 meters) vessel with an 1,800-pound (816 kg) payload capacity and a burst speed exceeding 60 knots. Equipped with a similar powertrain, the T24 excels in mid-size missions where high agility and flexible payload options are essential. Together, these vessels provide scalable solutions for autonomous maritime operations across diverse scenarios.

The MANTAS series offers a compact and highly agile fleet of USVs designed for precision and versatility in maritime operations. The T12 MANTAS, measuring 12 feet (3.6 meters), features an all-electric propulsion system, a payload capacity of 140 lbs (64 kg), and a burst speed of over 30 knots—making it ideal for ISR, mine warfare, patrol, and harbor security. Slightly smaller, the T8 MANTAS spans 8 feet (2.5 meters) with a 40 lb (17 kg) payload and a top speed of 25 knots, optimised for littoral missions and rapid deployment scenarios. The most compact of the trio, the T6 MANTAS, is just 6 feet (1.8 meters) long but delivers an impressive burst speed of 45 knots, supporting harbor-based and near-shore operations with a 7 kg payload. Together, these vessels offer scalable solutions for tactical and surveillance missions in both confined and open water environments.

MARTAC’s USVs deliver high-speed, and autonomous capabilities, featuring flexible autonomy modes, an open architecture, and resilient redundant systems that ensure reliability while enabling seamless payload integration for tailored mission requirements. The Devil Ray series offers larger, powerful platforms for complex tasks, while the smaller, agile MANTAS vessels provide precision solutions for tactical and near-shore operations, together forming a scalable fleet suited to a wide variety of maritime needs.
