French builder unveils 9.3m multi-mission USV with modular construction
Zodiac Milpro unveiled the Equinox 930, a 9.3-meter aluminum unmanned surface vessel with interchangeable payloads of up to 800 kilograms. The company rates the 5.5-tonne craft for more than 40 knots and more than 600 nautical miles of range, depending on operating conditions. Its configurable mission bay can carry radar, electro-optical sensors or sonar, with provisions for deploying underwater vehicles and other equipment. The boat is designed for surveillance, force protection, hydrography and mine countermeasures, and operators can supervise it remotely through a ground control station using multiple communications links.
