that utilizes foils for rapid surface transit before submerging for clandestine maneuvering. This high-performance vessel requires well-established, cutting-edge control systems and L3Harris possesses the necessary components and expertise required for seamless integration into the K40 MANTA. These integrated systems will enable the remote control of the uncrewed platform for engineering testing, foil development, powertrain calibration and demonstration before enhancement in later developmental stages.“We look forward to working with L3Harris on the implementation of key systems for K40 MANTA as

While fully autonomous, the vessels may be optionally manned and they will carry multiple payloads, which they will be capable of autonomously launching and retrieving.The project will receive support from autonomous technology developer Spatial Integrated Systems (SIS), recently acquired by Huntington Ingalls Industries, enlisted by Metal Shark to provide the autonomy solution for the LRUSV system. SIS develops multi-vessel collaborative swarming autonomous capabilities, sensor fusion and perception.Under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Agreement
