85-foot autonomous low-profile logistics vessel for long-range contested resupply with 71-ton payload and 2,700+ nmi range, without reliance on ports or infrastructure.
NightTrain is a military USV platform developed by BlackSea Technologies in United States. 85-foot autonomous low-profile logistics vessel for long-range contested resupply with 71-ton payload and 2,700+ nmi range, without reliance on ports or infrastructure. It is positioned for contested logistics, resupply, containerized cargo delivery, and expeditionary sustainment missions and is listed publicly as under development. Published specifications captured in this database include a published length of about 25.91 m, a reported range of about 5000 km, reported speed of 11 kn fully loaded, and payload information listed as ~71 tons; up to 53 linear ft of standard ISO containers. The platform is described as autonomous in terms of control and autonomy. Its concept emphasizes persistent on-water presence, modular payload integration, and lower operating burden than a comparable crewed craft. Additional context: Spec sheet lists 85 ft x 12 ft beam, ~71 tons payload capacity, up to 53 linear ft of ISO containers, 11 kn fully loaded, 2,700+ nmi range; design based on USNA hydrodynamic research and tow-tank testing; keel-laying milestone in Baltimore in January 2026.
