World’s most advanced military rigid hull inflatable boat launched at NAVDEX

JEBEL ALI, UAE - March 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Abu Dhabi, UAE, 22^nd of February 2015: UAE based company, ASIS Boats - one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of rigid inflatable boats, has unveiled its newest design model called the “Bluebird” at NAVDEX, the region’s most important naval and maritime security exhibition. With its unique, high-endurance, high-performance capabilities, the Bluebird is the world’s most advanced military rigid hull inflatable boat. The Bluebird can be purposefully disguised and coloured to appear as a civilian/recreational vessel thus providing tactical advantage when needed.

The 9.8 meter Bluebird is powered by twin 350hp outboard engines is capable of speeds up to 65 MPH (105km/h), even in choppy waters, and combines the latest advances in maritime shock mitigation, including a three-axis fully shock-mitigated console housing the operator seats and all equipment. The console design maximizes comfort and minimizes crew fatigue. Exceptional in performance thanks to its unique design, the Bluebird is nevertheless extremely easy to manoeuvre both on the open water and in close quarters, and is also impressively fuel-efficient.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art, headset wireless communications system that cancels intrusive, fatigue-inducing wind and engine noise, and enables full communication between crew and passengers and is fully integrated with both the marine VHF and tactical radio systems.  Some of the many available options and features include: a Cool Suit device that allows passengers to stay cool despite being in an open air environment – an added benefit in Middle Eastern climates:  bullet proofing, bullet resistant glass, gyro-stabilized thermal camera, and multiple crew-serve weapon pedestals, supporting heavy machineguns and grenade launchers.

“We have more than 10 years delivering the most effective and innovative solutions for naval and military forces around the world, and understand the challenges and needs,” said Roy Nouhra, founder and President of ASIS Boats. “The Bluebird’s revolutionary design and features makes it one of the most advanced military rigid inflatable boats, with exceptional performance, versatility, safety, agility and comfort. There is no doubt that this is a craft that will be of great interest at NAVDEX.”
