The
L-CAT is an innovative, fast catamaran landing craft developed by CNIM
to meet the needs of the most modern amphibious forces. It can conduct
shore-to-shore missions or deploy from the well deck of LHD and LPD amphibious
ships. The L-CAT has been in service since 2011 in the French Navy and has proven its ability to support the French Armed Forces on a global scale during military and civilian operations. In April 2015, the L-CAT has been a key asset for the French Navy during a high-risk rescue operation for stranded civilians in Yemen. The speed and the beaching capabilities of the L-CAT were critical to mission success and 44 nationals were taken out of harm’s way. The Egyptian Navy recently became the second customer for CNIM's L-CAT. To learn more: L-CAT technical datasheet |
