MR-1500 ASSAULT | Sleeper Cabin Inboard

The MRCD1500 MPAC is a fast all round assault boat which has a speed of +50 knots and can move 2 + 12 pax on comfortable suspended helm seats.

The MRCD1500 can be made bullet proof in 30 seconds.

It has a Remote Weapon Station (RWS), smoke grenades and 4 additional gunpost which together makes this a perfect gun support vessel.

It has a bullet resistant roof which is covered with anti slide. This makes it very easy to board larger ships and shores. It can also carry a fully inflatbable boat on the the engine room which can be winched in by a powerful electric and manual winch.

Because of the wrap around console a center path throughout the whole boat is created.

In the front it has a sleeper cabin with 4 bunks, a toilet and small galley. In this way this boat can stay on the water for days.

From a small standard rhib which offered no protection for the crew, nowadays a rhib should be a more flexible multirole platform where modularity and multirole is very important in order to adapt to the different evolving situations. The required role can be very diverse, from riverine operations, beaching and landing to high speed interception and offshore patrolling.

And because of shrinking budgets, navies are looking for one fast platform which can be adjusted to the required role.

Madera Ribs has designed the MPAC, Multi Purpose Assault Craft in order to meet these requirements.

The MPAC has low draft in order to operate inland on rivers, but also has a high dead rise and high tubes to enable offshore operations such as patrolling and interception.

In order to maximize crew safety during riverine operations and or hostile boardings, the MPAC can be fitted with a BPM, ballistic protection module.

The Madera Ribs Ballistic Protection System has been developed to provide a safe protective shield of ballistic panels around the crew and embarked forces that when stowed does not restrict the operation of the Craft. Unlike fixed panels which are vulnerable to damage by wave impact, and reduce the speed of the craft due to their high windage, the Madera Ribs system can be stowed during transit and deployed only when needed.

The system incorporates a pneumatic system that lifts one of a pair of ballistic panels that when stowed are below the top of the collar. Hence in the stowed position the panels are not vulnerable to wave impact, do not restrict access or visibility, and do not present a high wind resistance. When deployed the two panels form an impenetrable shield from deck level to above the top of the collar. The system is modular and a number of modules positioned around the crew and embarked forces seating area creates a citadel within which a high degree of protection is provided.

The ballistic panels are with the thickness selected according to the threat level specified.

The MPAC is fitted with a walkthrough console which enables the crew to move from their seats to the foredeck through the console instead of around the console.

The risk of falling overboard at high speeds in high seas is herewith greatly reduced.
