New construction

Future Fast Interceptors

Defense has commissioned 13 fast craft, Future Fast Interceptors (FFI) from De Haas. They will replace the current Frisc’s.

The new vessels are more modern, faster, and more heavily armed than the Frisc vessels. They also have improved sensor and communication systems. They are also less detectable by the enemy. In addition, the focus is on reducing the physical strain on personnel. Innovations in the hull and seats soften hard shocks at speed in combination with high waves.

The FFIs will join the Marine Corps’ Maritime Special Operations Forces (Marsof) inventory. Army units are also taking them into service. The vessels are intended for boarding and other special operations in the highest spectrum of force.

Unmanned surface vessel

..With modular and interchangeable mission configurations equipped with advanced sonar and subsystem technologies, the fully autonomous Seagull USV can be deployed for a variety of manned and unmanned missions. The Seagull USV supports operations in mine countermeasures (MCM), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), maritime security (MS) and other advanced applications.

As the only vessel of its kind that integrates all operational modes on a single platform, the Seagull USV allows ASW, MCM, EW, MS, hydrographic and other missions to be conducted from a single mission control system.

The fully autonomous Seagull USV meets all international maritime standards and military specifications (Mil-Spec), can operate continuously at cruising speed for more than four days, and is equipped to carry out long-term missions. The vessel is made of composite and aluminum materials.

The 12-meter Seagull USV can be easily deployed from a port or mothership.
