The Philippine Marine Corps has received two MARTAC T38 Devil Ray unmanned surface vessels (USVs) via a U.S. aid transfer. This event marks the first time these USVs will be operated by the Philippine Marines, adding a new rapidly deployable capability. The T38 Devil Ray USVs have a potential operational radius of 1,200 nautical miles and can support ISR, strike, and electronic warfare missions, as well as deploy smaller USVs. This transfer is part of a broader U.S. effort to supply unmanned platforms to the Philippines.
