ABS created the award winning next generation hovercraft for law enforcement and commercial operation:
The ABS M10. The ABS M10 is specifically designed to the requirements of the Security market with the input of experienced UK Military consultants. The M10 is available in various
configurations.
With only 2 common Diesel engines the M10 offers outstanding
features and performance with more than 10 tonnes of disposable payload at speeds in excess of 40 knots fully laden. Optimised ducted fans ensure a significant reduction in noise. Due to its high efficiency, the M10 can offer the extraordinary range of operation of more than 500 NM with its standard fuel tanks only, an essential capability for any security and law enforment agency.
The ABS M10 is the first ever Hovercraft with cost of operation and maintenance even lower then those of conventional displacement patrol vessels, but offering true amphibious capabilities. The M10 is the first ever Hovercraft certified to LR 100A1 full class and is the only craft that was awarded the
Millennium Product award by the UK design Council for its advanced technology.
