Supported by the wealth of experience gained during the DONAR project, ABS took the decision to significantly invest into the design, development and production of a new generation, fully seagoing, 20m Military Hovercraft, the award winning ABS M-10, the first Hovercraft of its kind that is fully made from Advanced Composites.
