MILITARY Fully INFLATABLE
MAKO’s fully inflatable Defender military boat is made from strong, hard wearing materials. Simple to transport and deploy to remote areas, the design makes it lightweight and easy to handle in all expected terrain and water conditions.
The MAKO Defender Range of Fully Inflatable Military Boats have been used and developed over time for various African Military and Police Special Forces units.
Designed for Military Tactical Operations in all marine environments encountered throughout Africa (sea, inland lakes and rivers), a key capability of this craft is that it can be transported by road or air into any area to deploy combatants in a variety of missions.
The hull shape is especially important to get a large load on the plane while retaining excellent manoeuvrability in harsh and challenging conditions.
- Heavy-duty fabric (1670 dtx hypalon) combined with high-quality manufacturing processes.
- Excellent durability.
- Fast deployment and mobilization.
- High standards of materials and equipment used.
- Suited to all kinds of missions.
