Gen. Karsten Heckl, the deputy commandant of the Marine Corps for combat development and integration, told reporters the service had been working on two autonomous, low-profile vessels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2023\/09\/07\/marines-draw-inspiration-from-drug-runners-for-unmanned-resupply-boat\/\">which resemble drug runners\u2019 semi-submersible boats<\/a> seen in Central America. The boats are designed to carry two Naval Strike Missiles to Marine units ashore, stealthily delivering their payload without attracting any attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re very, very hard \u2014 if not downright impossible \u2014 to track,\u201d Heckl told reporters after speaking on a panel at the WEST 2024 conference here hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA International. That is because the boats produce almost no wake while gliding through the water, he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After working with a \u201cmom and pop shop\u201d to design and build the two craft, Heckl said the Marine Corps has demonstrated it can launch and recover them from the Navy\u2019s Expeditionary Fast Transport vessels and the Marines\u2019 Stern Landing Vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This month, the Marines will demonstrate the full evolution of using these boats to resupply Marines ashore with the missiles they need to fire at ships from land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3932\" height=\"2809\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg 3932w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg?resize=768,549 768w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,732 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1097 1536w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210816-M-ZJ571-531.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1463 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3932px) 100vw, 3932px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System launcher deploys into position aboard Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, Hawaii, Aug. 16, 2021.

Nick Mannweiler\/Marine Corps)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heckl said the boats will play a role in the Army-led Project Convergence Capstone 4 event in California, featuring in a \u201cmulti-domain mobility corridor\u201d phase of the exercise designed to test equipment for resupply and logistics missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service tests so far have been \u201cvery successful,\u201d he added, describing the price tag as so low that the craft can be deemed expendable if lost. If the Marine Corps does decide to pursue buying these in larger numbers, however, Heckl said the service will have to find a bigger contractor for production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marines will put a new semi-submersible boat to the test designed to stealthily deliver ship-killing missiles to troops
