These defense boats feature ASIS’ exclusive deep “V” shaped, reinforced fiberglass hull with a non-skid deck and self-draining system, designed to handle various sea conditions with ease. Additionally, they incorporate push-knee reinforcements, mainly used for protection and safely docking.

They are equipped with a weapon mount and the seating arrangement includes comfortable Ullman Biscaya suspension jockey seats for the pilot and co-pilot, along with additional straddle seats for passengers.

Equipped with a comprehensive range of accessories, the RHIBs offer practical features such as towing and mooring equipment, a high-capacity bilge pumping system, and a well-designed fuel system with twin marine aluminum tanks.

The RHIBs are equipped with pioneering communication and navigation systems to ensure precise and reliable operation. They each feature a GARMIN GPSMAP 922 XSV with sonar capabilities for accurate navigation, chart plotting Wi-Fi Connectivity, In-hull Transducer & Blue chart G2 Vision. Complementing this, the GARMIN GMR 18HD+ 18NM radar scanner provides enhanced situational awareness. For communication, the 9.5-meter giant includes a VHF ICOM IC-M423G radio with an antenna, ensuring clear and effective communication at sea.

The boats are powered by Twin Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engines providing reliable power, complemented by hydraulic steering and advanced controls.

Designed for rapid deployment and maneuverability, these RHIBs will excel in various roles, including patrolling, surveillance, and tactical missions.
