Modular Platforms for Naval Tender and Patrol Support

One aluminium platform configurable for naval tender, auxiliary, coastal patrol, and specialist fleet support roles. Integration-ready for weapon systems, communications, and ISR mission elements.

01/What this changes

Fleet Flexibility. One Base Hull.

Naval operations use small combatants and auxiliary craft for a wide range of tasks — patrol, tender duty, specialist support, boarding, port defence. Cross Water Modular is designed to serve those auxiliary and support roles on one configurable hull. The same platform runs as a tender today, a patrol boat tomorrow, and a specialist support vessel next month.

04/The platform

Built for Fleet Support Roles.

Cross Water Modular is not a primary naval combatant — it is a modular platform for auxiliary, tender, patrol, and specialist support roles. The RIB 1150 (11.5 m, CE Category B/A) and RIB 950 (9.5 m, Cat B) are the typical naval fits with offshore capability. The RIB 750 (Cat C/B) suits harbour defence and specialist harbour roles with container-compatible deployment.

Manned performance now. Autonomy-ready by design. Naval manned-unmanned teaming is supported as an upgrade path.
