Next generation autonomous USV
Performs in Environments & Conditions Where Other Manned and Unmanned Systems Cannot
Core Capabilities
- Flexible configurations in 6’(2m), 8’(2.5m), 12’(3.6m), 24’(7m), 38’(11m) & 50’(15.24m) variants
- Electric or Diesel/Electric Propulsion, dependent on MANTAS variant size – all independent twin screw systems
- Next generation ultra-safe Low-Lithium batteries for C5ISR and vessel operations.
- High-speed surface operation with “burst speed” capability to 80 kts, depending on variant
- Excellent range at cruise speeds
- High Precision loitering and station keeping operations
- Fully autonomous, semi-autonomous and full operator control modes
- Sensor and communications agnostic
- Solar Panels for extended endurance and persistence for open ocean operation
Key Features
- Extended in-field operations with open architecture and modular design allowing for rapid adaptation and integration of sensors, advance communications and improved energy payload
- Highly reliable systems with waterproof components within the MANTAS hull
- Optional “Stealth” Mode with a positively buoyant hull to minimize detection and perform “decks awash” operations
- Performs in environments and conditions where other USV’s are unable due to MANTAS’ high-performance envelope.
MANTAS™ USV is a multi-role catamaran, proficient at performing in open ocean, riverine and inland waters delivering greater mission flexibility than traditional manned systems.
