Autonomous Ship AIRCAT Bengal MC Promises to Revolutionize Maritime Operations with AI and Advanced Firepower (Eureka Naval Craft – LinkedIn)
The Eureka Naval Craft from the United States and the Australian Greenroom Robotics introduced the AIRCAT Bengal MC, described as the most advanced autonomous naval attack ship in the world.
It is the first of its kind to carry up to 40 tons at speeds over 50 knots and reach a range of 1,000 nautical miles. The project will be offered to the U.S. Navy, NATO allies, AUKUS, and Indo-Pacific countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.
The Bengal MC can operate with or without a crew and is considered more lethal and cost-effective than conventional ships. It is capable of launching Tomahawk and NSM missiles, as well as quickly transporting heavy loads. Its modular construction reduces costs and facilitates repairs, and its versatility allows for various uses, such as troop transport, electronic warfare, drone operations, and mine laying.
Equipped with the Greenroom’s GAMA system, the ship features cutting-edge artificial intelligence for autonomous navigation and situational awareness, ensuring safe and effective operations in high-threat environments.
It will integrate into a fleet of AIRCAT vessels from Eureka, each designed for specific missions like rescue, reconnaissance, and logistics.
