The Taiwan Coast Guard Administration is acquiring an undisclosed number of Devil Ray T24 autonomous surface vessels, Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc. announced in a report carried by MarineLink on 13 October 2026.

MARTAC, described in the report as a United States provider of fully autonomous unmanned surface vessels, named the Devil Ray T24 model as the platform being obtained by the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration.

The MarineLink item gave the procurement in a succinct announcement and identified neither the quantity of craft involved nor further technical or contractual particulars.

Announcement and parties involved

The report cited MARTAC as the company making the announcement and identified the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration as the recipient. The public summary accompanying the notice set out the model name and the parties but offered no delivery timetable or statement of operational role.

Information withheld in the summary

MarineLink's brief account recorded only that the Coast Guard Administration is acquiring an undisclosed number of the Devil Ray T24 vessels. The report did not specify numbers, contract value, basing arrangements or support arrangements.

Beyond the model designation and the identities of the vendor and purchaser, the published summary contained no further details about configuration, sensors, endurance or related systems. That absence leaves the shape and scale of the acquisition unclear from the public report.

The announcement represents a formal confirmation that the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration has selected the Devil Ray T24 as part of its fleet planning, while the limited public information prevents fuller reporting on operational implications, procurement status or integration with existing assets.

MarineLink carried the report on 13 October 2026, attributing the information to Marine Tactical Systems, Inc. The company was named as the source of the announcement and the Devil Ray T24 was identified as the platform to be supplied.

The Maritime Gazette will follow the story as additional authoritative details become available from the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration, MARTAC or published contract documents. In the absence of further official information, the precise scale and schedule of the acquisition remain unspecified in the public summary provided to date.
