Eureka Naval Craft is a leading U.S.-based developer of groundbreaking crewed and uncrewed vessels for naval defense, coast guard and humanitarian missions
Defense Advancement is pleased to welcome Eureka Naval Craft as a Gold partner to our global defense supplier platform.
The company’s supplier profile showcases its innovative AIRCAT family of vessels, a range of high-performance maritime platforms engineered to deliver speed, payload flexibility, and mission adaptability across the full spectrum of modern naval operations.
Designed in collaboration with ESNA Naval Architects and leveraging advanced SES technology, Eureka Naval Craft’s non-ITAR vessels are optimized for contested littoral and open-water environments. From fast attack and ISR to amphibious assault, distributed maritime operations, and humanitarian response, the AIRCAT series provides numerically scalable, cost-effective capability without compromising firepower, endurance, or agility.
Key platforms from Eureka Naval Craft include:
- AIRCAT Bengal MC – An optionally-crewed fast attack vessel with a 40-ton payload capacity, 50+ knot top speed, and 1000 nm operational range. The modular platform supports missiles, electronic warfare systems, mine laying capabilities, directed-energy weapons, and AI-enabled autonomy for counter-UxV and littoral strike missions.
- AIRCAT Bengal – A multi-role, high-speed vessel with 40-ton payload capacity and containerized mission flexibility. Capable of hosting anti-ship missiles, loitering munitions, air defense systems, torpedoes, and mine countermeasure systems, it is well-suited to patrol, interdiction, ISR, and logistics operations.
- AIRCAT Lynx – A 20-ton payload multi-mission vessel designed for coast guard, border security, and humanitarian applications. Supporting ISO containers and modular skid systems, it can deploy RHIBs, ROVs, UUV launch and recovery systems, and environmental response equipment.
- AIRCAT Panther – A low-signature autonomous surface vessel (ASV) with 10-ton payload capacity and 400 nm range, designed for frontline logistics, ISR, electronic warfare, and distributed attack operations with open-architecture payload integration.
- AIRCAT Jaguar – An advanced LCVP(I) amphibious assault craft capable of transporting personnel, light vehicles, and mission systems at speeds exceeding 50 knots, optimized for rapid deployment into contested regions.
- AIRCAT Bobcat – An ultra-high-speed catamaran landing craft engineered for littoral and riverine warfare, capable of operating in waters as shallow as 1.6 feet and aligned with Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) concepts.
Across the AIRCAT portfolio, Eureka Naval Craft combines high payload capacities, extended operational ranges of up to 1000 nautical miles, and modular open-architecture systems that enable rapid reconfiguration for evolving mission requirements. This adaptable approach allows naval forces and coast guard organizations to tailor platforms for strike, ISR, logistics, counter-UAS, amphibious deployment, and humanitarian response missions.
With a strong focus on performance, survivability, and operational flexibility, Eureka Naval Craft is helping to shape the future of distributed and high-speed maritime operations.
