PRV "DOCKING STATION"

The World´s Most Exclusive UAS & ROV Support Platform and Hypersafe Tender for Megayachts

Based on the redesign of the ASIS military amphibious RHIBs into highly-survivable, all-weather, ocean-rated boats, PRV "DOCKING STATION" is an integrated air-land-sea docking station providing support for aerial & underwater drone operations in brown-water & green-water operating scenarios.

PRV "DOCKING STATION" is also the perfect hypersafe tender for megayachts, providing fast, easy, and convenient access to beaches and boat ramps.

PRV "DOCKING STATION" runs on a twin 350 hp engine combination, is capable of transporting 20 people, has a range of 450 nautical miles at 30 kts, is self-righting and has a top speed of 55+ kts. It has obtained an RCD Cat. B (Offshore) certification at maximum capacity, and an RCD Cat. A (Ocean) classification with 6 people.

PRV "ALLIED SHIELD"

The World´s First High-Energy Ionizing Radiation-Protected RHIB

Based on the redesign of the ASIS military amphibious RHIBs into highly-survivable, all-weather, ocean-rated boats, PRV "ALLIED SHIELD" is a high-energy ionizing radiation-protected vessel with an enhanced overall CBRN-E resilience thanks to its unique blast-deflecting geometry and special air filtration systems, for tactical & emergency operations near waterfront nuclear power plants.

PRV "ALLIED SHIELD" runs on a twin 350 hp engine combination, is capable of transporting 10 people inside its radiation-protected cabin, has a range of 450 nautical miles at 30 kts, is self-righting and has a top speed of 55+ kts. It has obtained an RCD Cat. B (Offshore) certification at maximum capacity.

PRV "ALLIED SHIELD" also operates uncrewed, thanks toour advanced AI algorithms and hyperfast satellite communications.

PRV "TARPON"

The World´s First Jettisonable Luxury Citadel for Megayachts

PRV "TARPON" is a one-of-a-kind luxury tender for megayachts.

Starting with the redesign of the Safehaven Marine´s XSV 17 boat, DESIGN·BUREAU has created the most unique hyper-protected luxury tender for megayachts: armored, stealth, self-righting, superfast, elegant, and, above all, a deployable escape citadel.

Named after the "Helm of Hades" which gave invisibility to its wearer, our H.A.D.E.S. (Hyper Advanced Deception Engineering Suite) is a system-of-systems designed to give PRV "TARPON" a very very low detection signature, and at the same time a very very high level of protection against any type of electromagnetic attack or disturbance.

PRV "TARPON" can navigate and survive in force 10 storms with waves in excess of 12 meter in height, has a range of 1000 nautical miles at 40 kts, and a top speed of 65+ kts.  With a LOA of 18 meters, PRV "TARPON" can accommodate up to 12 people, thus providing a safe escape and elegant cruising for the whole family or work team.

PRV "BLACK SHAG"

The World´s Most Exclusive Air - Land - Sea Integrated Mobility Platform

PRV "BLACK SHAG" is a next-gen un-/manned ground-effect vehicle program aimed to develop a multi-purpose air-land-sea platform for all sorts of operations, including planetary exploration.

Starting with the redesign of military tilt-rotors into armored amphibious VTOL solutions for the oil & gas industry and civilian rescue operations, DESIGN·BUREAU is creating a new generation of integrated air-land-sea transportation system characterized by an extreme level of resilience, protection, and reliability.

PRV "BLACK SHAG" sports different power solutions, from a hybrid endothermic-electric powerplant to a 100% electric solution able to provide an operating range of 600 nautical miles.

PRV "BLACK SHAG" is also a valid alternative (and better option) to helicopters for explorer yachts, luxury cruise liners, and exclusive island hopping for a discerning clientele.

PRV "SALAMANDER"

The World´s Most Exclusive Armored Amphibious Vehicle

PRV "SALAMANDER" is the world´s most unique armored amphibious vehicle.

Starting with the redesign of the famous Steve McQueen´s "Baja Boot" by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, DESIGN·BUREAU is creating a new generation of armored, resilient, amphibious, & super-supercool all-weather, all-terrain, luxury vehicles.

PRV "SALAMANDER" is built on a Baja racing chassis, with all the mechanical systems to tackle the planet´s harshest terrains, in the worst climatic conditions, and still providing a posh, hyper-protected travel experience.
