Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. (MARTAC) and Mystic Powerboats announced a co-production partnership aimed at increasing MARTACs domestic production capacity to meet growing requirements from U.S. and allied customers.
The companies said the partnership is the first of several pending domestic co-production partnerships MARTAC is finalizing, using a distributed production model that increases surge capacity, diversifies the supply chain, and accelerates delivery timelines.
Distributed co-production to add surge capacity and shorten delivery timelines
MARTAC described the distributed production model as strengthening its ability to meet operational demand through increased surge capacity, supply-chain diversification, and faster delivery timelines.
MARTAC said demand for autonomous maritime systems is accelerating as defense and national security organizations expand autonomous capabilities in distributed maritime operations, maritime domain awareness, logistics support, and force protection.
Operational track record for Devil Ray and MANTAS platforms
MARTAC said its family of USVs, including the Devil Ray and MANTAS platforms, has been operationally proven for over ten years in multiple government programs and exercises.
MARTAC also described the effort as a capacity expansion that meets near-term needs and can scale with market demands over time.
Mystic brings composite manufacturing capacity aligned to MARTACs build methods
Mystic Powerboats said it has three decades of expertise in advanced carbon-fiber and composite manufacturing, operating from a nearly 100,000-square-foot production facility equipped with tooling, workforce, and processes to produce high-strength, lightweight hull structures at scale.
Mystics proven capabilities include epoxy resin infusion, carbon-fiber lamination, and foam-core construction, and it said these align with the materials and methods used in MARTACs Devil Ray and MANTAS platforms.
