MARTAC Launches the Devil Ray T24 the Newest ASV in their Portfolio

25.05.2023
Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. (MARTAC), an innovator in Maritime Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs), is proud to unveil its much-anticipated Devil Ray T24 (7m) ASV from our Devil Ray Production Facility. The base configuration Devil Ray T24 (T24) is designed as a high performance ASV capable of burst speeds up to 50 kts, open ocean cruising ranges up to 600 nautical miles, and a payload capacity up to 1,800 pounds. The T24 was designed and developed from concept to empower operators to execute missions with multiple advanced above and below-surface sensors over both line of sight and satellite datalinks. The T24’s use of advanced automation and Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) provides the level of trust necessary to conduct missions with significantly reduced human intervention or oversight. In addition to its inherent autonomy, the T24 is built on an agile technology stack which is Interoperable and Interchangeable (I2I) allowing easy adoption of emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.
