CTruk to unveil THOR at the DSEI exhibition in London from 10-13 September
2013.
THOR – Twin Hulled Offshore Raider:
CTruk’s new multi-role force protection craft
|
| |
THOR
will be starring in the waterborne demonstration adjacent to the ExCel
venue and will be proving its capabilities as a fast, stable and multi-role
force protection craft. Designed by CTruk, THOR incorporates a range
of high-tech equipment provided by the CTruk CAP consortium. The companies
that form CTruk CAP have joined forces to compete in a market dominated
by larger corporations. |

The result
of this teamwork is THOR: a multi-role, reconfigurable and affordable
vessel with a range of applications from force protection to disaster
relief. THOR has a lightweight composite construction, which gives excellent
fuel efficiency, thereby saving on operating costs and maximising time
on task. With a top speed in excess of 40 knots, THOR is fast and suitable
for sustained operations over long distances and time periods. It can
be rapidly deployed via a C17 or A400M and also from a CTruk 50T mother
ship. |

Alastair Stangroom, Director of Operations for CTruk’s Military
and Security Division, commented: “We are all extremely excited
about the launch of THOR. Not only is it an outstanding and ingenious
design, but the combined creative excellence of the CTruk CAP consortium
has delivered a vessel that ticks all the boxes in terms of multi-role,
high performance and cost efficiency.” |
