Amphibious Vehicle for Offshore Rescue and Search
In flood and tsunami prone regions, rescue operations conducted by SWAT Teams, the Coast Guard and firefighters must be able to rely on their rescue boat to convey them safely and quickly where they need to go. In these regions, pneumatic boats and steam powered boats are generally not a choice because of their low maneuverability around debris blocking their path, slowing down rescue operations where every second counts.
Our SURFCON ARC600 amphibious craft is a land/water craft that eliminates those difficulties. On land, the uniquely designed large tires and chassis allow the rescue craft to easily pass over and around obstacles such as stones, battens and small ravines, making it a popular choice in difficult topographic environments. In water, the offshore rescue boat has a draft hull that is much less than the overall height of the boat, making maneuverability in shallow water easy. These advantages all combine to make the SURCON ARC600 a popular choice with rescue operations and cut down the time required for water rescue.
