MARTAC has partnered with SŌLACE Boats to boost production of its Devil Ray autonomous vessels by 100 units per year, responding to rising demand from U.S. and allied governments. This partnership, announced on September 15, will leverage SŌLACE's 200,000-square-foot production facility in Edgewater, Florida, enhancing MARTAC's manufacturing capabilities.
The collaboration is significant as it allows MARTAC to scale production without the need for additional manufacturing facilities, utilizing SŌLACE's expertise in high-performance boat construction. The Devil Ray T24, launched in 2023, is designed for multi-role missions and can deploy smaller MANTAS T12 USVs, showcasing its versatility in various maritime environments.
Looking ahead, MARTAC's agreement with SŌLACE is part of a broader strategy to expand its production through partnerships with established marine manufacturers. The company had previously announced a co-production agreement with Mystic Powerboats, indicating a commitment to increasing domestic production capacity for its autonomous vessels. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
