DSB 470 GPM Military Inflatable Boat

Versatile, High-Capacity Solution for Naval Operations

The DSB 470 GPM Military Inflatable Boat is engineered to deliver superior performance in a wide range of military operations. Designed with user feedback and operational experience, the boat offers excellent stability, manoeuvrability, and payload capacity, making it ideal for covert missions, rapid response, surveillance, and rescue operations.

Constructed from durable, UV and abrasion-resistant Hypalon, the DSB 470 GPM incorporates a deep V-shaped inflatable keel for optimal performance in rough sea conditions. This boat also supports multiple floor configurations, such as wooden, aluminium segmented, and roll-up floors, to suit mission-specific needs. Its large internal deck space allows for greater capacity and payload, making it suitable for more complex missions requiring additional personnel or equipment.

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.
