Built on nearly 40 years of multi-industry boatbuilding experience, SŌLACE Boats has an established reputation for designing and building high-performance and high-strength boats. Operating from a 200,000-square-foot production facility, the company has well-proven vacuum infusion and catamaran-hull manufacturing capabilities. SŌLACE’s expertise complements the methods used in MARTAC’s Devil Ray and MANTAS™ USV platforms.

“We’re proud to partner with SŌLACE, given their reputation, in-depth experience, and prowess in producing high-strength, lightweight hulls that can traverse high sea states,” said Tony Smeraglinolo, Chief Executive Officer of MARTAC. “Our partnership with SŌLACE demonstrates MARTAC’s ability to rapidly scale by harnessing the talent and capacity of world-class marine manufacturers in our region.”

“SŌLACE Boats is excited to be partnering with MARTAC, a company whose platforms have over a decade of operational excellence in government programs and exercises,” said Stephen Dougherty, Chief Executive Officer of SŌLACE Boats. “We are honored to leverage our expertise to support national security initiatives along with the greater maritime security mission.”

On the heels of MARTAC’s recent co-production agreement with Mystic Powerboats, this announcement is part of MARTAC’s ongoing domestic scaling strategy, harnessing American-built technologies and companies to exponentially increase production of mission-ready autonomous vehicles. By leveraging regional manufacturers with dual-use experience, MARTAC is scaling production capacity of its USVs, while mitigating lead time and capital constraints.
