Recent Sale of Hovercraft West Africa

Following a recent contract for patrol hovercrafts in West Africa, our MD Peter Ward visited the region to provide initial training/operational advice on a training variant of the Hov Pod SPX ATDH, and attracted a great deal of interest. Hov Pod recently introduced a new range of patrol hovercraft at the DSEi Exhibition in London which resulted in a number of new sales and dealer appointments. 

The new Hov Pod ATDH SPX TCC + Patrol Hovercraft is easier to drive than most hovercraft, so no specialist pilots or engineers are required. The Hov Pod ATDH SPX TCC + Patrol Hovercraft is ideal for border patrol, and for the price of one large hovercraft, the same budget can purchase perhaps 10 or 20 smaller Hov Pods for better defence coverage.

DSEi Exhibition a great success - Hovercraft

The DSEi Exhibition in London has been a great success, and we are happy to report confirmed orders from two new dealers assigned to specifically target the military, police, rescue and coastguard patrol. There are many requests for quotations in the sales pipeline so more orders are expected to be confirmed. Several enquiries were for multiple units, (one for 18 hovercraft). The DSEi Show Daily profiled the Hov Pod SPX TCC + during the show pointing out that for the cost of one military hovercraft, many Hov Pod SPX TCC + can be purchased. Using a simple Excel spreadsheet, it is easy to illustrate by graph, how for the cost of one larger military hovercraft, 10 or more Hov Pod SPX TCC + craft can carry more payload and manpower to provide better coastal patrol coverage. The Hov Pod SPX TCC + is easy to operate, transport and maintain, and requires no specialist pilots or engineers.

As a result of DSEi, Hov Pod is now scheduled to appear at a number of new military exhibitions around the world, further raising the profile of the Hov Pod SPX TCC +. 

Future development of the Hov Pod SPX TCC + will widen it's application; a number of specialist suppliers showed interest in developing a number of possible applications.

DSEi - Hovercraft

Hov Pod Hovercraft at DSEi Stand N7-471

Hov Pod Hovercraft will be attending the DSEi Show for the first time this year, and will be demonstrating their range of hovercraft suitable for a wide range of defence applications.

The unique Hov Pod Hovercraft design overcomes a number of problems that hovercraft face.

Easy to transport

In civil emergencies, for example flooding, rivers can overflow and damage roads and bridges, and larger hovercraft are often positioned in the wrong place at the wrong time. The small
Hov Pod hovercraft can easily be airlifted to provide help where and when required.

Easy to use

Manufactured from HDPE, the Hov Pod Hovercraft is extremely easy to operate, so no specialist pilots or engineers are required.

Wider patrol area capability

Defending river, lake and coastal areas, the low cost of the Hov Pod Hovercraft compared to larger hovercraft means that for the same budget, perhaps 10 or 20 smaller hovercraft can be deployed for the cost of one larger hovercraft – this obviously provides greater defence capability for border control, and can strengthen defence against smugglers.

Locating UXO

The Hov Pod Hovercraft has been supplied for locating UXO – by configuring with survey equipment and GPS mapping software, a small hovercraft can scan an area and provide a map showing where UXO is sited, to enable specialist teams to more quickly, and cheaply clear hazards from an area.
