How it works

Air becomes lift.

Air enters the front grille, is directed under the hulls, and forms a low-drag air cushion for lift and efficiency.
01
Fans draw in air at the bow.
02
Air flows under the hulls to create lift.
03
Then exits as thrust.

Operating profile

Designed for routes where access matters.

DACV-12 is being developed for routes and operating environments where speed, shallow-water access, reduced infrastructure dependence, low wake, and amphibious shoreline access matter. Its platform is suited to coastal passenger transport, remote access, utility operations, and other applications where conventional vessels are limited by draft, docking requirements, or operating conditions.

DACV-12 is being developed as a configurable platform for passenger transport, passenger + cargo / utility applications, and other mission-specific operating profiles where speed, amphibious access, and reduced infrastructure dependence matter.

DACV-12 is being developed for operation across water, shoreline, and ice conditions, with amphibious access and near-zero draft in hover mode. It is intended for coastal and nearshore environments where shallow-water access and reduced docking dependence are important.

The current platform direction includes passenger and passenger + cargo / utility configurations, with additional mission-specific layouts discussed based on operator needs.

Current product-page targets include an 11.9 m platform, 45-knot cruise speed, 65–80 knot maximum speed target, sea state 3 capability, and a range of 150–300 nautical miles depending on configuration. Performance depends on sea state and configuration, and specifications may change as development progresses.
