en.Wedoany.com Reported - Maritime Tactical Systems (Martac), a US supplier of high-performance unmanned surface vessels, has signed a cooperative production agreement with Mystic Powerboats, a manufacturer of high-performance composite boats, aimed at increasing Martac's production capacity in the United States to meet growing demand from US and allied customers. This partnership will integrate Martac's expertise in autonomous maritime systems with Mystic Powerboats' capabilities in composite manufacturing.
Autonomous capabilities are increasingly being applied in maritime systems. Martac showcases its range of unmanned surface vessels (USVs), including the Devil Ray and Mantas platforms, which have been successfully used in multiple government projects and exercises for over a decade. The company plans to expand its existing production capacity to meet short-term needs and adapt to long-term market demand.
Mystic Powerboats has three decades of experience in advanced carbon fiber and composite manufacturing, producing lightweight, high-strength hull structures on a large scale at its production facility spanning nearly 100,000 square feet (9,290.304 square meters). The company has extensive expertise in epoxy infusion, carbon fiber lamination, and foam core construction—materials and methods also used in Martac's Devil Ray and Mantas platforms, making the two companies complementary cooperative production partners capable of increasing the delivery volume of autonomous boats.
John Cosker, founder and CEO of Mystic Powerboats, stated that as nations place greater emphasis on maintaining maritime situational awareness, ensuring force protection in distributed maritime operations, and safeguarding critical shipping lanes, accelerating autonomous maritime capabilities is imperative; his team is proud to leverage its tradition of applying advanced technology to manufacture high-performance, rigorously tested boats to help advance the autonomous capabilities needed by the US and its allies.
Seamus Flatley, Chief Growth Officer of Martac, stated that the US has world-class maritime manufacturing companies with deep expertise in advanced composites and maritime construction; Mystic Powerboats is an excellent example of American manufacturing ingenuity, as a world-class manufacturer with the advanced composite manufacturing capabilities and skilled workforce required for the high-performance hull structures of Martac's platforms. Partnering with Mystic is a key step in its strategy to rapidly scale production while ensuring systems are combat-proven and ready for deployment.
Martac is currently finalizing multiple national cooperative production partnerships. The partnership with Mystic Powerboats is the first of these. These collaborations enable Martac to increase production capacity, diversify the supply chain, and shorten delivery times during periods of high demand.
