Capabilities
Designed for the worst-case shoreline.
01
Beach landing
Shore-to-shore cargo delivery onto unimproved shorelines.
02
Ultra shallow
Built for coastal environments where draft rules out conventional connectors.
03
No crew on the beach
Takes people off the most exposed leg of the resupply run.
04
Containerized cargo
Variants sized for one and four TEU.
05
Modular
Configurations for different mission requirements.
06
Built for production
Common major components across the family.
Beyond defense
Wherever cargo has to reach a shore without a port.
- Disaster relief
- Humanitarian logistics
- Remote island supply
- Commercial maritime
Defense is the focus. The same capability carries to civil use.
