RB-M Tactical
The Response Boat - Medium Tactical was developed as a commercial variant to the USCG Response Boat - Medium (RB-M). This high speed, high performance boat has become a favorite with foreign militaries around the world and elite law enforcement thanks to its tactical handling and reliability. It can be customized to meet mission-specific options.
The RB-M Tactical for the Kingdom of Bahrain shown in the video below was fabricated with high temp resistant aluminum and outfitted with an Arabian Gulf hot weather package that includes a 92000 BTU HVAC system, thermal insulation and an aft deck GRP canopy.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s boat was customized with a roof mounted RS-700 Gamma/Neutron Radiation Detection System to achieve its mission requirements to quickly and accurately measure and locate natural and man-made radioactive elements or CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear & Explosives).
