inboardrigid hull inflatable boat

The MRCD1500 MPAC is a fast all round assault boat which has a speed of +50 knots and can move 2 + 12 pax on comfortable suspended helm seats. The MRCD1500 can be made bullet proof in 30 seconds. It has a Remote Weapon Station (RWS), smoke grenades and 4 additional gunpost which together makes this a perfect gun support vessel. It has a bullet resistant roof which is covered with anti slide. This makes it very easy to board larger ships and shores. It can also carry a fully inflatbable boat on the the engine room which can be winched in by a powerful electric and manual winch. Because of the wrap around console a center path throughout the whole boat is created. From a small standard rhib which offered no protection for the crew, nowadays a rhib should be a more flexible multirole platform where modularity and multirole is very important in order to adapt to the different evolving situations. The required role can be very diverse, from riverine operations, beaching and landing to high speed interception and offshore patrolling. And because of shrinking budgets, navies are looking for one fast platform which can be adjusted to the required role. Madera Ribs has designed the MPAC, Multi Purpose Assault Craft in order to meet these requirements. The MPAC has low draft in order to operate inland on rivers, but also has a high dead rise and high tubes to enable offshore operations such as patrolling and interception. In order to maximize crew safety during riverine operations and or hostile boardings, the MPAC can be fitted with a BPM, ballistic protection module.
