MARTAC Adds a Third Production Partner as Navy Bets on Unmanned Maritime Mass (opens in a new tab)
MARTAC has partnered with SŌLACE Boats to increase annual production of Devil Ray unmanned surface vessels by 100, marking its third co-production deal since June. The agreement leverages SŌLACE’s Florida facility and expertise in high-performance hull manufacturing, expanding MARTAC’s capacity to 300–400 vessels per year. These partnerships rely on established recreational boatbuilders to scale production quickly, addressing the Navy’s growing demand for unmanned systems. While MARTAC’s platforms have operational experience, including deployments with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, no direct contracts under the Navy’s Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel program are yet secured.
