M9 Work Boat

Many NATO forces use this rapidly inflated boat for reconnaissance or as a tender to large craft for landing parties. The raised bow of the M9 is designed to take the weather at sea; it is also able to provide protection from breakers when embarking from the beach and is particularly useful when rocky or shallow conditions apply.

These rapid deployment craft are designed for military and commercial operations where ease and speed of assembly are essential.

The compact size when packed facilitates stowage and easy launch for submarines, air dropping from fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, or deployment from small vehicles. The craft can be inflated in water or on land, and made ready for operation within two minutes by means of the high pressure inflation system.

An integral aluminium slatted deck gives positive under foot support whilst giving a comfortable, smoother and confident ride. These craft are designed to give an improved seagoing performance superior to that found in conventional inflatables. Speeds of 20 knots can be attained, with speeds of 14 to 16 knots maintainable under medium and heavy loads, with seakinliness unaffected.
