DSEi - Hovercraft


Hov Pod Hovercraft at DSEi Stand N7-471


Hov Pod Hovercraft will be attending the DSEi Show for the first time this year, and will be demonstrating their range of hovercraft suitable for a wide range of defence applications.

The unique Hov Pod Hovercraft design overcomes a number of problems that hovercraft face.

Easy to transport

In civil emergencies, for example flooding, rivers can overflow and damage roads and bridges, and larger hovercraft are often positioned in the wrong place at the wrong time. The small
Hov Pod hovercraft can easily be airlifted to provide help where and when required.

Easy to use

Manufactured from HDPE, the Hov Pod Hovercraft is extremely easy to operate, so no specialist pilots or engineers are required.

Wider patrol area capability

Defending river, lake and coastal areas, the low cost of the Hov Pod Hovercraft compared to larger hovercraft means that for the same budget, perhaps 10 or 20 smaller hovercraft can be deployed for the cost of one larger hovercraft – this obviously provides greater defence capability for border control, and can strengthen defence against smugglers.

Locating UXO

The Hov Pod Hovercraft has been supplied for locating UXO – by configuring with survey equipment and GPS mapping software, a small hovercraft can scan an area and provide a map showing where UXO is sited, to enable specialist teams to more quickly, and cheaply clear hazards from an area.
