RECONFIGURABLE ATTACK AND RECONNAISSANCE VESSEL I

摘要

A reconfigurable marine vessel is disclosed. The marine vessel includes an upper hull (102), two propulsion hulls (104), and two struts (106) for coupling the propulsion hulls to the upper hull. The struts are segmented and are capable of reconfiguring the marine vessel. In one configuration, the vessel can be folded for launch and recovery. In a second configuration, the struts can be extended downwardly for cruising and surveillance. In a third configuration, the struts can be extended laterally from the upper hull to provide a minimum-draft configuration for approaching a beach.
