Saronic and Castelion plan 2027 sea-launch test of Blackbeard hypersonic capability from Marauder MUSV
Saronic Technologies and Castelion say they will integrate Castelion’s Blackbeard hypersonic strike capability with Saronic’s Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) Marauder for a maritime launch demonstration in 2027. The effort positions sea-based hypersonic launch as a deterrence option and tests the pairing of a USV launcher with a low-cost hypersonic missile system.
