The BORAN 600 is a compact vessel designed to operate in a complex transition environment between water and land. The main task of the machine is to ensure continuous movement through shallow water, ice fields, snow—covered areas, swampy shores and dense coastal vegetation without the need to change the vehicle.
Unlike classic hovercrafts, the BORAN uses two rigid metal skegs instead of a flexible skirt. This solution significantly increases the reliability of the machine during operation in harsh conditions and allows you to work in close proximity to high temperature sources, where the use of traditional SVPs is limited.
Purpose
A multi-purpose vessel designed for operation in the coastal zone, in shallow water, ice, snow and swampy areas. The concept is designed for services that need to work confidently where traditional boats and wheeled vehicles are losing mobility.
Wednesday
The concept focuses on areas where traditional boats have difficulty approaching the shore due to reeds, cattails, shallow water or seasonal changes in water levels.
The vessel works equally efficiently in open water, ice, snow and swampy areas, which makes it a versatile transport platform for services operating in hard-to-reach areas.
Such operating conditions are typical for river deltas, lake systems, wetlands, and northern regions with a long ice season.
Engineering Description
The construction is based on two metal skegs that simultaneously perform the functions of a support surface and a housing.
This scheme ensures stable movement on ice, snow and shallow water, protects the structure from mechanical damage and eliminates the use of a vulnerable flexible skirt.
Due to this, the machine can be used in extinguishing wildfires, conducting emergency rescue operations and operating in areas with a high probability of contact with hot surfaces.
The compact enclosed cabin allows the crew to work in adverse weather conditions, and the open aft section provides convenient access to the power plant and propeller for maintenance.
The hull layout is built around the shortest possible bow overhang, which makes it easier to go ashore and move through ice hummocks, coastal vegetation and shallow water.
The propeller is located in a high protective enclosure, which reduces the risk of damage when operating in a confined space and ensures the safety of the crew during landing and maintenance.
The developed side elements of the hull increase the stability of the vessel and form the characteristic silhouette of the machine, designed primarily for practical operation.
The design provides platforms for the installation of search, navigation and rescue equipment, so that the platform can adapt to various application scenarios.
Project result
The concept of the BORAN 600 multipurpose vessel has been developed with an emphasis on working in the transition zone between water and land. The project combined industrial design, the architecture of the transport platform and the integration of specialized equipment, forming a modern image of an official vehicle for operation in difficult natural conditions.
