AIRCAT Lynx
The AIRCAT Lynx is a high-speed vessel that is designed to perform a wide range of demanding military and civilian maritime roles, including search and rescue, law enforcement, counter-piracy and -terrorism, vessel traffic monitoring, and pollution response. It is an ideal solution for building a cost-effective fleet of multi-role mission-critical capabilities.
The highly stable and adaptable vessel can accommodate a variety of mission payloads on its aft deck, including standard ISO 10ft and 12ft containers and modular skid packages, which can host vessel-launched RHIBs, environmental monitoring and scientific survey equipment, ROV and UUV LARS (launch and recovery systems), and more.
