Ocean Craft Marine partnered with the design team at Professional Components Ltd., makers of Shockwave Seats®, to highly customize and adapt a three-axis, and fully shock-mitigated operator console known as the Integrated Control Environment or ICE2TM.

In addition, the latest 9900 Series TM fully integrated, wireless crew-communications system was specially adapted by the David Clark Company® along with a M-Series thermal imaging camera from FLIR® Systems, Inc.

"The 9.5M V-BTD with its completely blacked-out visual appearance, super quite, twin 300HP Mercado VeradoTM supercharged engines and a shock-mitigated console with both a low-profile and oblique angled leading edge make for an extremely stealthly and agile package on the water." "With four integrated hoisting hard-points this boat is ready for shipboard launch and recovery as well as transportation by rotary wing aircraft." "The seamless integration of technologies and extreme high-performance capability of this boat must truly be experienced first-hand," said Salus.
