The U.S. Army awarded Vigor the contract to build its new generation landing craft in the fall of 2017. The design for the MSV(L) was developed in partnership with BMT following a detailed study of the Army’s unique needs and the available design options fulfill those needs. It dramatically improves the current LCM-8 and provides the optimal combination of performance, operational flexibility and life-cycle cost while maintaining the reliability and versatility of the Army’s current craft. The contract calls for one prototype vessel, four vessels under low rate production, and up to thirty two additional vessels over ten years for use by Army Mariners in even the most difficult environments.
The landing craft’s tribow monohull is an innovative yet deceptively simple design that provides superior maneuverability and stability in high sea states, through the littorals and within inland waterways in support of land-based operations. MSV(L) is a natural evolution of the BMT Caimen-90®, leveraging more than a decade of extensively-tested performance and adapted by the Vigor-BMT team to meet U.S. Army requirements.

The X18 ATC (Armoured Troop Carrier) is an innovative, fast, stealthy, and highly manouverable catamaran design that provides a stable weapons platform for close-in and long range fire support in normally inaccessible coastal and riverine environments.
Fitted with high performance diesel engines and MJP 550 CSU waterjet propulsion, the twin hull configuration has excellent sea keeping properties and the adds advantage of shallow draft.
Giving in the ability to execute beach and river landings and insert or extract squads of up to 60 Special Forces or Marines. The X18 ATC has a crew of 5, and will also carry a high-speed Interdiction inflatable Raiding craft for boarding and SEAL insertion.
The Cockerill 3030 is a unique multi mission, light and protected remote weapon station with innovative roof system that allows unique observation. It has an anti tank and anti bunker rocket system. It’s panoramic sight integrated system is slaved to the cannon for infantry support configuration. Gun elevation goes from -10 degree up to +60 degree. The ballistic protection is up to level 4 STANAG 4569. Ammunition loading is under armored and has single/dual feeder with a minimun of 155 ready-rounds.
This 44-meter long guardian is more than just beautiful; it’s a marvel of modern maritime technology. Effebi, a renowned Italian shipyard, poured its decades of experience into crafting this Coastal Patrol Vessel (CPV). But what truly sets the “Tenente Petrucci” apart is its innovative propulsion system – four mighty MJP 650 CSU waterjets.
Unlike propellers which rotate to create thrust through friction with the water, waterjets employ a pump-jet design principle. Water is drawn in through an intake and channeled into an impeller. The impeller, akin to a centrifugal pump, imparts significant velocity to the water stream. This high-speed flow is then directed through a carefully designed nozzle, converting the kinetic energy of the water into a forceful thrust that propels the vessel forward. This translates to several advantages.

Stealth wave-piercing trimaran carbon fast attack craft (DNVGL Patrol Boat) KRI Golok (688) built by PT Lundin Industry Invest (also known as North Sea Boats) was recently launched featuring quad MJP 550 CSU waterjets. The fast attack craft (FAC) employs a modern “Wave Piercing” trimaran design. This allows the vessel to cut-through waves rather than rise up and over them, and the increased beam provides inherent stability. This combination of features reduces both pitching and rolling, creating a stable weapons platform, and enabling the vessel to comfortably and safely maintain higher average speeds in adverse conditions.
IC 20 M by Dockstavarvet is a 20-meter fast patrol craft. Featuring dual MJP 450 DRB waterjets. Capable of speeds in excess of 45 knots this vessel is powered by 1600 HP MTU engines.
Long Range Interceptor (LRI-II) built by Metal Craft Marine and Brunswick Commercial & Government Products for the United States Coast Guard is an 11-meter interceptor vessel used in drug interdiction and USA homeland security applications.
