Carrier seal – Designed for covert insertion and extraction of combat diver units
Our Carrier seal operates in three modes; surface, semi-submerged and submerged. Designed to be launched from a surface ship, Carrier Seal vehicles transit at speeds of up to 30kts on the surface before switching to submerged mode for a covert final approach.
On board sensors and navigation systems work together to provide safe transit and accurate positioning day and night, above or below the surface of the water, regardless of vehicle speed or environmental conditions.
