# Marine Corps Advances REGENT Seaglider

The U.S. Marine Corps added $5 million to REGENT’s Seaglider program, bringing reported funding to $19.25 million. The funding advances the electric wing-in-ground-effect craft into Phase IV operations and command-and-control, supporting the Marine Corps’ exploration of runway-independent logistics in contested environments. For procurement professionals and contractors, the development points to potential needs for vehicle integration, operational support, and command-and-control systems tied to expeditionary logistics.

- Companies with relevant capabilities in integration, operations, and supporting systems may find adjacent opportunities as the program advances.
- The effort reflects continued military interest in electric, runway-independent transport for contested logistics.
