The article says MARTAC is expanding production of its Devil Ray unmanned surface vessels by partnering with SŌLACE Boats, adding capacity for about 100 more vessels a year.

The main takeaway is that industrial scaling is becoming a priority for naval drone programs. The claim is credible at the production-partnership level, but broader assertions about Navy-wide transformation are more forward-looking than proven.
