Swimmer Delivery Vehicles are used to transport 6 Navy Seals for special operations warfare. They have been designed to provide combat swimmers with the best ergonomics and capacity of performance. They can be deployed from shore, boats and even submarines from a dry-deck or wet-deck shelter. This vehicle’s strengths are high cargo capacity, high navigation accuracy and ease of operation. We have more than 5 years of experience in this field and have just been awarded a new maintenance contract.
