DSB 420 GPM Military Inflatable Boat

Optimised Stability and Rapid Deployment for Maritime Missions

The DSB 420 GPM Military Inflatable Boat is engineered for quick deployment and exceptional performance in maritime missions. Built with UV and abrasion-resistant Hypalon, the boat is designed to meet the demands of military operations, providing a durable, lightweight, and easily transportable solution for a variety of tactical scenarios.

Its inflatable deep V-shaped keel ensures superior stability and handling, even in rough seas, while its modular design supports multiple mission profiles such as reconnaissance, rapid response, search and rescue, and covert operations. The DSB 420 GPM can be customised with various floor types, from wooden and aluminium segmented to roll-up floors, allowing for maximum adaptability in diverse environments.

Performance

When underwater emergencies occur, a trusted, proven partner is essential. Our submarine escape and abandonment systems are engineered for precision, speed, and survivability, delivering reliable performance under extreme pressure and time-critical conditions. From deep escape scenarios to surface evacuation, they enable rapid, controlled responses when it matters most.

Innovation

We are continually advancing our submarine escape and abandonment capabilities to meet the evolving demands of naval operations. Through new material sciences, technological innovation and strategic partnerships, we push the boundaries of survivability — developing solutions that set new standards in performance, integration and reliability beneath the surface.

Protection

Sub-surface emergencies demand absolute confidence in protective systems. Our escape and abandonment solutions are designed to safeguard submariners from depth to recovery, delivering thermal insulation, flotation, and life-support performance under the harshest conditions. Proven through rigorous testing, they provide the protection needed when submariner survival is the priority.
