Maritime Tactical Systems (MARTAC), Inc.

MARTAC is proud to announce a major milestone for our company and the future of autonomous maritime operations in the Indo-Pacific. The Taiwan Coast Guard Administration (CGA) has signed an agreement to acquire MARTAC's Devil Ray™ T24 unmanned surface vessels, marking one of the largest international purchases of U.S.-manufactured USVs to date. Building on the partnership established with the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) and Confucian Co., Ltd. in 2025, this agreement goes beyond vessel procurement. Through a co-production model spanning Florida and Taiwan, the initiative will support local manufacturing capabilities, workforce development, and Taiwan's growing investment in maritime security. Capable of burst speeds exceeding 50 knots, the Devil Ray T24 brings proven autonomous capabilities to a wide range of coast guard and military missions. This agreement represents an important step in expanding the reach of U.S.-developed autonomous technology and strengthening maritime capabilities across the Indo-Pacific.

Proud to see MARTAC’s unmanned surface vessels join Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration at this year’s National Day parade. Ahead of the celebration, Ocean Affairs Council Minister Kuan Bi-ling, CGA Director-General Chang Chung-lung, and National Security Council Secretary-General Joseph Wu visited the Coast Guard base at Taipei Harbor for a joint demonstration of MARTAC’s T24 and Shield AI’s VBAT. The focus was around how air and sea drones can coordinate on land-sea defense. The T24 is a multi-use platform, capable of executing maritime domain awareness operation while also acting as a mothership, employing a smaller USV such as the MANTAS T12, or a small UUV to conduct off-board operations. The CGA plans to bring unmanned systems into its patrol fleets as part of a three-phase plan: fleet expansion, upgraded surveillance, and drone and AI integration. We’re honored to be part of that work. Thank you to the CGA and NCSIST. Happy National Day, Taiwan. #UnmannedSystems #MaritimeSecurity

Not all autonomous surface vessels are built the same. The MARTAC difference starts with our proven catamaran design. By combining high-speed performance with exceptional stability and increased payload capacity, our vessels can accomplish a larger variety of mission sets: going farther, carrying more, and performing reliably in demanding maritime environments. Add Gator Mode, and operators gain the flexibility to navigate shallow waters and challenging coastal terrain, reducing detectability while maintaining mission effectiveness. When the mission demands speed, stability, and versatility, design matters. That's the MARTAC difference. #AutonomousSystems #USV

Detecting and clearing sea mines has traditionally required putting people and platforms in dangerous operating environments. Unmanned systems offer another way forward. A recent Ocean Robotics Planet article examines how commercially available uncrewed systems could provide a near-term approach to mine countermeasures. MARTAC’s Devil Ray platforms are featured as part of that conversation. The article outlines a concept using T38 Devil Rays equipped with mine-hunting and mine-clearing systems to move MCM capability into contested environments, taking on dangerous work while keeping Sailors farther from the minefield. It also highlights the ability to pair different-sized uncrewed platforms to support the mission. The key is that these capabilities don’t have to start from scratch. MARTAC’s platforms are commercially available systems, and the article points to COTS uncrewed technology as a potential path toward addressing the Navy’s MCM challenge in the near term. When the threat is already here, speed to capability matters.

Maritime autonomy has entered a new era. For years, the conversation around USVs centered on testing, experimentation, and proving what autonomous platforms are capable of. Now, the conversation is shifting toward integration. As Shephard Media recently reported, governments are moving beyond technology demonstrations and making larger commitments to autonomous systems as part of current and future naval force structures. That shift matters. Missions like ISR, maritime domain awareness, force protection, and distributed operations require platforms that can move beyond controlled demonstrations and perform in the most demanding real-world maritime environments. MARTAC has spent years doing exactly that: putting autonomous capability on the water, learning from operational use, and continuously advancing platforms built around real-world requirements. The days of simply proving autonomy works is giving way to proving what mission it can accomplish. #MaritimeAutonomy #USV #DefenseTechnology

The next step for maritime autonomy is figuring out how to put them to work at scale. A recent Second Line of Defense article looks at the US Navy’s continued push toward a Hybrid Fleet and the work underway to move autonomous capabilities from experimentation and prototyping toward broader integration with the fleet. A big part of that conversation centers around how crewed and uncrewed platforms can work together across real missions. Rather than viewing USVs simply as replacements for crewed ships, the article points to a future where they operate alongside Sailors to extend reach, add capability, and take on missions differently. That includes commercially available platforms like MARTAC’s T38 Devil Ray, which the article highlights among COTS systems that could support mine countermeasures as part of an integrated approach. For MARTAC, this is a conversation we know well. The technology is here. Now it’s about continuing to demonstrate how proven autonomous platforms can support the missions of today while helping shape what the Hybrid Fleet can become.
