IN A NUTSHELL
  • 🚢 AIRCAT Bengal MC is the world’s most advanced autonomous naval vessel, offering unmatched strategic capabilities.
  • 💥 Equipped to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Naval Strike Missiles, it enhances lethality while reducing reliance on larger warships.
  • ⚙️ Features superior fuel efficiency and a modular design, allowing for customization and cost-effective operations.
  • 🤝 Developed in collaboration with Greenroom Robotics, it boasts the most advanced autonomous navigation system, setting a new standard in naval warfare.

The unveiling of the AIRCAT Bengal MC marks a significant milestone in military technology, showcasing an impressive leap in naval capabilities. This state-of-the-art autonomous vessel, the brainchild of Eureka Naval Craft in partnership with Australian marine autonomy specialists, stands out as a groundbreaking innovation. Designed as a multi-mission Surface Effect Ship, the Bengal MC boasts advanced features that promise to revolutionize naval warfare. With the ability to operate both crewed and autonomously, it offers unparalleled flexibility and cost efficiency. As global tensions rise, such technological advancements are crucial for maintaining strategic superiority.

Revolutionizing Naval Warfare with Advanced Capabilities

The AIRCAT Bengal MC is not just any naval vessel; it represents a new era of autonomous warfare technology. Designed to carry a significant payload of 44 tons, this vessel can transport two 40-foot ISO footprint modules at remarkable speeds exceeding 50 knots. Its range of 1,000 nautical miles ensures that it can reach distant theaters of operation without the need for frequent refueling. The ship is not only versatile but also lethal, equipped to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Naval Strike Missiles. Such capabilities de-risk the reliance on larger, more expensive crewed warships, making it a strategic asset for navies worldwide.

The vessel is targeted at major naval powers, including the US Navy, the US Marine Corps, and allies such as AUKUS and NATO countries. Additionally, countries like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines may find this vessel an attractive addition to their fleets. The Bengal MC’s ability to operate autonomously and its compatibility with advanced missile systems make it a formidable force in modern naval warfare.
