The CSBC Endeavor Manta is an uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) produced by CSBC Corporation, Taiwan.
History
Taiwan's pursuit of USVs was largely driven by their use in the Russo-Ukrainian War and a growing invasion threat to Taiwan from China.[1]
According to CSBC the program began in early 2024.[2] The program was revealed in late 2024 with an official demonstration planned for early 2025.[3]
Attributes
The Endeavor Manta has a trimaran hull for increased stability.[1] It can carry an internal explosive payload as well as light torpedos externally.[2] Up to 50 USVs can be controlled from a remote control station. Its small size allows it to be launched from a large number of locations.[1]
Specifications
The Endeavor Manta is 8.6 meters long and 3.7 meters wide. It has a top speed of ~65 kilometers per hour and a payload of a little over a ton.[2]
