The VEDETTE F2 recently acquired by the French Army is mainly used for water crossing operations and diver missions.
Power, reliability, extreme mobility and safety are its strengths. The Vedette F2 offers precision maneuvering of thrusters with 2 water water jet 360° and exceptional thrust provided by 2 independent engines (2.6 Tons max bollard pull). This new solution for crossing-operation is configurated with a flat bottom that provides 100% thrust with only 50 cm water deep below the hull; and ensure maximum safety with the water-jet technology (no screw). Vedette F2 allows a max speed of 8,5 m/s in water depth superior to 4 m. The Vedette F2 can be used in association with all type of ribbon bridge (IRB, SRB). The VEDETTE F2 can be transported by truck or trailer with a CEFA’s dedicated interface. The French Army received 8 VEDETTE F2 in December 2014. |
