OverviewASIS Boats designs and supplies rigid-hulled inflatable military boats (RHIBs) engineered for operational reliability, extended endurance and modular mission fit. Models range from compact fully inflatable craft to large aluminium D-tube platforms, suited to interdiction, patrol, riverine and ship-board launch roles.
Key features- Military-grade construction: aluminium (FoamShield hull®), fiberglass (Air Hull®) or fully inflatable hull options
- Tube options: air-filled or Hyb Foam® / foam-filled collars for enhanced survivability
- Propulsion variants: outboard, inboard, stern-drive or water-jet (model dependent)
- Custom seating and storage: bucket seats, benches, shock-mitigating seats, leaning posts
- Integrated systems: navigation, comms and C4ISR suites; tactical lighting and weapon mount provisions
- Optional ballistic protection and armouring panels; amphibious wheel systems available on selected sizes
Main applications- Anti-piracy and VBSS operations — high-speed, long-range interdiction platforms
- Navy ship-board and shore boats — davit launch/recovery, stern-notch compatibility and shock mitigation
- Riverine operations — shallow-draft, highly manoeuvrable configurations with troop disembarkation arrangements
- Special operations — high-performance, low-signature craft capable of mission-specific fit-outs
- Coast guard and SAR — interception, patrol and extended-range mission variants
Design & CustomisationEach boat is built-to-order and configurable for mission requirements: tube type (air or foam), hull material, propulsion, deck layout, seating, weapon mounting, shock-mitigation systems, communications suites and armour. Production emphasises proven hull forms, rapid manufacture and thorough testing to ensure mission readiness.
