About MANTAS T12

MANTAS T12 is MARTAC's compact all-electric uncrewed surface vessel for littoral sensing, security and communications missions. The 12-foot catamaran weighs 260 pounds, carries up to 140 pounds of payload and reaches burst speeds above 30 knots while maintaining a low surface profile.

Above- and below-water sensors can be fitted for intelligence collection, harbour security, mine avoidance, environmental monitoring, hydrographic survey or communications relay. Control modes include autonomous, semi-autonomous and manual operation, with line-of-sight, satellite and mesh datalinks available by configuration. The vessel can launch from shore or another boat, deploy from a larger Devil Ray mothership and operate as one node in a coordinated swarm.
