Unmanned Surface Craft
Unmanned Surface Craft (USC) are developed to conduct a wide array of missions in various marine environments. The objective is to take the operator out of harm's way.
Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) missions can be operated remotely. Tasks include harbour protection, anti submarine, mine defence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Unmanned surface vessel (USV) can utilise onboard sensors to modify the progress of the vessel according to changing external circumstances such as collision avoidance.
Wing In Ground (WIG) Effect Craft
A Ground Effect Vehicle (GEV) attains level flight by a cushion of high pressure air created by the aerodynamic interaction between the wings and the surface of the Earth.
Wing In Ground effect craft (WIGs) are hybrid air cushion craft offering speed, fuel efficiency and smooth ride. They are also known as Wing In Surface Effect ship (WISE).
The surface-skimming capability of WIGs allows them to pass over mud flats, sand bars, ice and shallows. WIG can be seen as a transition between a hovercraft and an aircraft.
