What We Do

Kai Waymaker brings together the people and capabilities of Malama Kai Technologies and Mythic Group Inc. Together, our team is rethinking how vessels get designed, built, and delivered, with a focus on speed, durability, and supporting the Navy's mission. We combine advanced manufacturing with hands on marine expertise to move ideas from concept to the water faster than traditional methods allow.
APPROACH
Kai Waymaker designs and produces small craft, unmanned surface vehicles, and tactical vessels using advanced manufacturing methods. Rather than relying on molds and lengthy build cycles, our approach allows hulls to be produced directly from digital designs. This means faster turnaround, more flexibility to adjust as requirements change, and a manufacturing process that can be deployed closer to where vessels are actually needed.
Our work spans both commercial and defense applications, and our materials and processes are developed with durability and real world performance in mind.
WHY IT MATTERS
Traditional small craft manufacturing can take months or even years from design to delivery. That timeline makes it difficult to adapt quickly when missions or requirements change. Kai Waymaker was built to close that gap. Our approach supports a domestic, scalable production capability that reduces dependence on long supply chains and helps get mission ready vessels into the water sooner.
WHY KAI WAYMAKER
​
Grounded in Research
(Research and Partnership
Our materials and manufacturing processes have been developed in collaboration with respected research institutions, including the Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Maine. Every advancement goes through disciplined testing and validation before it becomes part of a vessel platform. Thus the new capability is always built on a proven foundation.
