Perform Rescue Missions Previously Considered Impossible

    • Seamlessly travel over both land and water with variable propeller and wheel propulsion to carry-out effective and rapid response in the most challenging environments.
    • Reduce response times with the fastest possible launch and retrieval available of any large seaworthy platform in the market today.
    • Access critical areas where traditional vessels are impeded by shallow water, variable depth, debris, and obstructions with instantaneously adjustable wheel and propeller propulsion configurations.
    • Operate in rough offshore conditions with Beaufort 3 and Sea State 4 sea state ratings.
    • Decrease response time and improved patient stability by driving straight out of the water to waiting resources or hoisting at sea with rotary aircraft.
    • Lead deployment into remote or natural disaster areas in full operational capability without formal docking facilities or supporting infrastructure.

    Rugged and Reliable Construction - US Coast Guard and CE Compliant
