High-speed medium USV in MARTAC’s Devil Ray family, designed for defense and commercial missions requiring burst speed, payload capacity, and flexible autonomy modes.
Devil Ray T38 is a dual-use USV platform developed by MARTAC in the United States. It is a high-speed medium unmanned surface vessel derived from MARTAC’s MANTAS and Devil Ray family, using a dual-sponson hull, inboard powertrain, redundant modules, and open payload architecture for defense and commercial mission sets. It is positioned for contested logistics, ISR swarm operations, EW/SIGINT operations, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, high-value escort, and hydrographic survey missions and is listed publicly as active. Published specifications captured in this database include a published length of about 11.1 m, reported burst speed of 70 to 100+ kts, and payload information covering a 4,000 lb / 1,814 kg maximum payload, inboard diesel or optional gas propulsion, and plug-and-play payload management. The platform is described as sliding autonomy: autonomous / shared / remote-operated in terms of control and autonomy. Its concept emphasizes rapid unmanned maritime operations, fleet augmentation, modular payloads, and speed-stable operation in demanding defense and security scenarios.
MARTAC lists the T38 at 38 ft / 11.1 m with 4,000 lb / 1,814 kg max payload, inboard diesel with optional gas powertrain, 70 to 100+ kt burst speed, dual-sponson high-performance hull, redundant modules, and sliding autonomy modes from full operator control to autonomous and shared control.
