Mantavia
Autonomous systems for maritime security using Wing-in-Ground effect vehicles
Mantavia develops autonomous systems for maritime security using Wing-in-Ground (WIG) effect vehicles that operate a few metres above the sea, bridging the gap between sea and air. Platforms reach 120-200 knots with lower operational costs than traditional maritime assets. The product family includes Barracuda (compact/covert ops) and Cormorano (larger unmanned surface platform); the company has also described Torpedine and Destriero concepts. A spin-out from KTH Royal Institute of Technology with Swedish and Italian dual-use operations, Mantavia has drawn interest from Ukrainian military units seeking unmanned maritime capability, presenting at Naval Forge 2026 in Kyiv.
