Portland, ME — 6 August 2019 — PacMar Technologies LLC has been awarded an $8 million contract from the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research (ONR). The contract entitled “Advanced Planing Hull Research” focuses on pursuing new science and technology for safer hulls and hybrid-electric propulsion systems for fast boats. PacMar Technologies One of 10 Winners of U.S. Army xTechPacific Competition Article by Communications Staff Honolulu, Hawaii — October 3, 2023 — PacMar Technologies is pleased to announce that we are one of 10 winners of the U.S. Army xTechPacific Competition, an open-topic prize competition focused on supporting the U.S. military’s long-distance capabilities across the Indo-Pacific region. Sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, and in collaboration with the U.S. Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, the competition sought innovative small business solutions prioritizing climate and sustainment, communications, the Internet of Things, sensing and intelligence, and supply-chain logistics to improve soldier effectiveness o verseas. “Each of these winners proved their ability to address this challenge and will help diversify the Army’s approach to research and development,” said Dr. Matt Willis, director of the Army Prize Competitions and the Army Applied SBIR Program. Using PacMar Technologies’ deep knowle dge of marine vehicles and expertise in autonomy, our engineers conceived an autonomous transport sled to ensure rapid resupply of material and aid. This transport sled addresses a daunting problem for the Army known as the “Tyranny of Distance,” which has vexed military strategists since the dawn of conflict where the U.S. is often fighting wars in areas thousands of miles from U.S. shores. This distance lessens military strength and increases the cost of conflicts. Our autonomous transport sled tackles this challenge head-on, also addressing the Army’s capability gap and technology viability. “We are thrilled to be selected a winner and proud of our employees’ dedication in this competition to assist the U.S. Army, said Dan Brunk, CEO of PacMar Technologies. “We look forward to submitting our Direct to Phase II proposal and continuing to build a strong relationship with the Army. Helping our Department of Defense partners drives our passion to research and develop cutting-edge technologies to help them solve complex problems.” During the competition’s rounds, businesses received up to $25,000 in cash prizes following several capability pitches to a panel of Army technologists, scientists, engineers and acquisition experts. Winners of xTechPacific can now apply for a Phase I Army SBIR contract worth up to $250,000 or a Direct to Phase II contract valued at up to $1.9million. » back

As a proud supporter of the Office of Naval Research (ONR), PMT has been working with ONR on projects for over 40 years in areas like small/large boats/ships design, science, technology and research – contributing to the ever-evolving capabilities of today’s Fleet. PMT Celebrates the Navy’s Birthday » back to News Article by Communications Staff Photo Credit: Gray Gibson/U.S. Navy via AP This month PMT celebrates the U.S Navy’s 246th birthday. As a proud supporter of the Office of Naval Research (ONR), PMT has been working with ONR on projects for over 40 years in areas like small/large boats/ships design, science, technology and research – contributing to the ever-evolving capabilities of today’s Fleet. This year, the theme of the Navy’s birthday celebration is “Resilient and Ready”. The Navy has a history of overcoming any challenge, including the ongoing global pandemic. Here at PMT we face challenges everyday but live by this same motto as we strive to do our best work and are excited to continue to support Navy programs now and into the future. PMT wanted to reflect on a few of our notable past and present ONR projects. Pictured: Seaflyer, Lifting-Body Technology Demonstrator. Pictured: Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC), MDG built a half-scale prototype of a ship-to-shore connector. Pictured: BLB-65. This boat has a dihedral bow lifting body (BLB) with trailing edge flaps, active control system, and designed for efficiency and seakeeping. Pictured: ORADTS program. This project combined all of PMT ’s capabilities to create an at-sea automated refueling and data transfer system for unmanned surface vehicles. The resulting system, which was generated using in-house CFD and physics-based motion simulation and optimization, decoupled the motions of the capture mechanism from the host platform enabling more reliable transfer of fuel and data regardless of sea-state Pictured: DARPA Manta Ray program. This program seeks to develop a new class of long-duration, long-range, payload-capable UUVs at an acquisition and lifecycle cost significantly less than current payload-capable UUVs. Pictured: Under the IMS program, PMT built a 36 ft medium-scale vessel in support of towing drop stitch inflatable structures as well as advancing automation, controls, and autonomous capability across a range of sub-systems in support of that program. Pictured: Sea Slice was a 105’ high-speed low-motion SWATH demonstrator built and tested for ONR by PMT and Lockheed Martin. » back to top

July 1, 2024 - Honolulu, HI - PacMar Technologies, a leading innovator in marine and energy solutions, and MACSEA Ltd, an industry pioneer in advanced monitoring systems, are excited to announce a strategic partnership to develop cutting-edge infrared monitoring technologies. This collaboration aims to enhance shipboard safety, especially with the use of Lithium-Ion batteries. Contested Logistics Sled – Rapid Prototype Demonstration Article by Communications Staff PacMar Technologies, in collaboration with HAVOC AI, rapidly developed and demonstrated a drop-stitch inflatable logistics sled to support distributed and contested littoral operations. Designed, built, and tested in under three months, it leveraged the existing HAVOC Rampage unmanned surface vessel (USV) as the propulsion module. It is capable of transporting 1,000 lbs of modular payload, such as a single JMIC container, or similar equipment from a highly packable sub-200 pound system. Designed for low-speed autonomous operation, this system validated key requirements including at-sea stability, beachability, payload integration, and USV coupling. Looking ahead, a self-powered modular payload sled has been developed and is ready for prototyping and experimentation with Army, Navy, and USMC stakeholders. This full-scale system includes a purpose-built integrated power module with battery and waterjet propulsion and is towable at high speeds (30+ knots) by small craft for rapid insertion. It supports an increased payload capacity up to 7,500 lbs and enables improved sea-state performance and fully autonomous surf-zone transit using HAVOC’s autonomy solution.
