X2k Interceptor

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 11.00 meter X2K Interceptor is a high-speed interceptor / law enforcement patrol boat, configured for rapid deployment and well suited for coastal operations. It is designed to offer multiple mission profile capabilities with speeds of over 50 knots using twin outboards, and is ideally suited for both, rapid response or regular patrol work. It can also be equipped with enhanced survivability features for special warfare operations, or used for reconnaissance, surveillance, law enforcement, counter-piracy efforts and search and rescue in sea state 4 conditions.

The work area of the boat consists of a forward gun-point suited for installation of a 7.62 calibre or
M-60 machine gun. Behind this is a command cockpit, where a four man unit can be accommodated in fully restrained racing type seats with stand-up or seated driving positions. The standard crew comprises:
a) Commanding Officer. b) Driver. c) Engine-man. d) Gunner. A small two-berth cabin is provided in the forward section for resting and storage. The steering console provides ample space for secure storage of armaments, waterproof clothing, provisions, food and cold drinks.

Another benefit of this design is flexibility in the layout and configuration. If other law enforcement agencies require different equipment, steering, crew or gun placement, this boat can be adapted to suit. If left open, the 2.0 m long forward cockpit has sufficient space to accommodate 2 stretchers.

The X2K is especially designed to fit in a standard 40 foot high-cube cargo container, ensuring fast, easy, safe and cost efficient global and domestic transportation. The container can also serve as a secure and convenient dry storage system for the boat and spare parts. Enabling rapid engine change-over and servicing and virtually eliminating down time.

CONSTRUCTION

The hand laid composite hull is made of Balsa and Divinicell cored sandwich GRP, using multi-directional reinforcements, with Carbon Fibre strengthening. The balsa core increases panel stiffness and reduces the weight usually associated with solid GRP boats. This offers great strength and robustness and in the event of a collision. This boat is self-draining as the cockpit deck is above the waterline. Sealed foam buoyancy can be fitted below deck to minimise the risk of sinking.

ENGINES AND PROPULSION

For simplicity of maintenance and operation the boat is powered by twin outboard motors from 150 HP up to 300 HP. with counter-rotating propellers. Stainless steel propellers give higher performance, and these come standard with the Suzuki 4 stroke outboards.

STEERING AND ENGINES CONTROLS

The adjustable steering wheel is to the starboard side of the console. Engines Controls are centrally located so the helmsman or throttle-man may operate them. All instruments and controls are clearly visible and accessible. The steering is hydraulically operated using a SeaStar Pro Heavy Duty System.
