African military customer orders four Super Dvora boats
IAI has received a contract for four Super Dvora Mk 3 fast patrol boats for an unnamed African military customer, the company announced on 31 March.
The four boats ordered under this multi-million-dollar contract will be delivered by IAI during 2016. They will be used for coastal defence, economic exclusion zone protection and homeland security missions.
Nitzan Shaked, general manager, IAI/Ramta, said: 'With an overall length of 27 meters, a top speed in excess of 40 knots, and equipped with a full suite of advanced weapons and sensors, this powerful boat will be an important addition to our customer's maritime arsenal for securing its littoral waters.'
'We are very proud that our boats are being operated on nearly all of the world's oceans, and that this, another African customer, has selected our proven design to address their significant maritime challenges.'
The Super Dvora Mk3 is currently in operation with several navies around the world. IAI has supplied more than 100 patrol boats in various configurations to date to maritime customers worldwide.
