EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These vessels, considered state-of-the-art fast patrol craft, ranging in length from 10 to 33 meters, have a nineteen year operating history of tactical and lifesaving applications in rough waters, known to be sorne of the roughest waters in the world.

Such craft supports missions including maritime security, search and rescue, national defense and homeland security, protection of natural resources, enforcement of fishery regulations, and promotion of commerce and maritime mobility. These mission requirements as explained by Rear Admiral Patrick Stillman, United States Coast Guard, Program Executive Officer of the Integrated Deepwater System, include but are not limited to surveillance of blue (ocean), and brown (river/port) waters, as weIl as detection, classification, identification and prosecution of targets of interest.

ln addition to photographs, a detailed description, performance data, and specifications for the hull and engines of the 22-meter catamaran FPB, designed in 1990, are attached. Four ofthese vessels have seen continuous operation in defense and security related missions while two are in service as passenger ferries. The patented hull design was based on 30 years ofhigh-speed catamaran design experience and incorporates special foils, which, with the twin 1500 horsepower diesel engines, enable hydrofoil type acceleration. This design produces an extremely stable platform with superior acceleration and sustained speeds for service in all weather and sea conditions. The end result is an extremely good sea-keeping, all weather, law enforcement interceptor which can serve in search and rescue and training roles while integrating with other operational naval force and tactical applications.

Additionally, we have completed engineering, tank and surf testing of the hull characteristics of the new 33-meter tri-maran. Results indicate sustainable speeds in excess of70 knots in up to 3-meter se as for this Super Fast Patrol Interceptor. This stealth designed patrol craft will out-perform any other vessel today and has the capability of staying on-station for longer periods of time and accommodating a wide variety of weapons systems. Its 24" draft gives it the ability to operate close in-shore or in river and delta environs.

The US Govemment has shown considerable interest in building multiple hull vessels to replace the aging fleet of typical 'V-huII' vessels. Because oftheir stability the FPB and SFPB platforms, their short (7 to 13 month start-to-delivery) construction time frame and their use readily available components and hardware, it is months if not years ahead of any known competition. Most definitely, no other such design with our proven record exists today. These pursuit vessels are versatile and economical high-speed paramilitary or air/sea rescue craft, featuring exceptional feats of stability while permitting sustained speeds in excess of 45 knots and operable in conditions up to sea state 5. Therefore, unlike any other known competitor, V-hull or catamaran, these Fast Patrol Boats and Super Fast Patrol Boats have the critical advantages of: shorter construction/delivery cycle; lower initial and on-going operating costs; fast intercept capability; lower user fatigue; proven track record; and availability for deployment.

These unique vessels can be custornized to meet the particular requirements for any clients needs. Full operations and maintenance training are available together with after delivery support. A wide range of options is available from navigational aids, communications packages. The FPB and Super FPB are The smart Option' in today's fast moving crisis situations.

End-user certificates are required from at potential purchasers.

36", High Speed Patrol

Special Advantages:

1. The long centre hull can penetrate.oncoming waves almost like a "wavepiercer" or a "8W ATH" and determines the trim angle for maximum comfort of passengers and lowest stress on the structure. The bow foils can be adjusted automatically by computers without assistance from the pilot if a forward-facing sensor is used.

2. The high tunnels are further aft than in the case of catamarans and are therefore much less likely to experience tunnel-slamming as the bow foils correct trim and aerate water before entering the tunnels. The effective tunnel height of 3m .allows full speed maneuvering into waves of up to 3,5m at any angle.

3. Foils are light and provide even better performance than on a catamaran of similar proportions.

The specifications on equipment may vary slightly according to availability but any substitutions would be equal im performance and quality.
