This lightweight rigid hull inflatable Naval Special Warfare boat is fast, durable, and relied upon by Tier 1 Special Operations Forces all over the globe. It’s highly maneuverable with it’s twin inboard diesel engines paired with twin jets, making it one of the very best options for operating in diverse and challenging environments & scenarios. These boats brand new cost close to a million dollars to produce. We can retrofit them from our stock for a small fraction of the price, built to custom specifications, including added speed, fuel capacity, crew capacity and comfortability.

Early testing was done with close teamwork between OPTEVFOR and the combat users to maximize the perspectives of each. Prototypes from competing vendors were developed and tested all the way to acceptance trials and final source selection. The early testing with contractor prototypes was so operational in nature that the OT&E was completed in the source-selection phase before a production contract was let. The testing was so operationally realistic that normal classical TECHEVAL and OPEVAL were canceled entirely. The NSW RIB testing covered 10,000 nautical miles, in hot and cold, rough and calm extremes, with five SEAL insertion missions, and C-130, C-141, and C-5 flight tests. There were no deficiencies and all operational issues were satisfied. here

A highly successful acquisition program, the NSW RIB was delivered to the combat teams in just over two years from program initiation to first unit equipped. The program strategy used commercial boat building experience and practices. The operational requirements of the NSW RIB were all met or exceeded during the combined DT/OT. Top speed exceeded objective by 15 percent (46 kts demonstrated, 40 kts objective); cruise speed exceeded objective by 3 percent (33 kts demonstrated, 32 kts objective); range exceeded objective by 15 percent (200 nm demonstrated, 175 objective); reliability was slightly better (91 percent demonstrated, 90 percent required); and availability exceeded objective by 9 percent (99 percent demonstrated, 90 percent objective).

While it is too early to make final logistical and O&M comparisons of the NSW RIB to the existing boats, reliability has been much better than for the older craft. This leads SOCOM to expect the overall parts and maintenance costs to be lower than for the existing craft. O&M training is performed the same as with the older craft. Preventive maintenance actions are comparable to the older units. The IOC units are exhibiting simplified support and cheaper parts costs due to the COTS components in engines and propulsion systems. Overall the Navy and SOCOM are satisfied enough with the program to be actively considering a reduction of the deployment logistical support kit size for the craft. more

The primary role of the NSW RHIB is insertion and extraction of Special Operations Forces (SOF), typically Navy SEALs. This may include insertion/extraction at the shoreline or the NSW RHIB may also be used to deliver SOF on Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) such as Visit Board Search Seizure (VBSS).

Like many other RHIBs, the NSW RHIB features a hull made of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) which is given buoyancy by air-filled gunwales made from reinforced fabric.. This design makes the RHIB tough but fast. NSW RHIBs can operate in heavy seas with winds up to 45 knots. [links]

The RHIBs feature 2 470 HP turbo charged caterpillar in line 6 cylinder diesels with jet pump drives that propel the NSW RHIB to speeds exceeding 45 knots. Max range is 190 nautical miles.

Shortly before being incorporated into BAE Systems in 2008, VT Halmatic produced a small quantity of an advanced high-speed insertion craft which is now marketed by BAE Systems as the interceptor. The type has distinctive clean lines which suggest low-observable features, and a coverable working deck with stern ramp, a notable improvement on earlier types. [links]
