Building a cost-effective and numerically credible naval vessel fleet is now

achievable with Eureka Boats’ AIRCAT Bengal. This next-generation vessel
offers high-speed persistent multi-role capabilities, utilizing ESNA’s Surface
Effect Ship (SES) design and technologies proven in the international
offshore energy industry.
Forward based AIRCAT Bengals are essential assets for enhancing threat deterrence with
sustained presence and fast response engagement commitments. These vessels, equipped with
extensive hard and soft kill capabilities, utilize cutting-edge modular warfighting systems to
protect against threats on the surface, in the air, and under the sea. They serve as highly mobile
counter UAS, USV, and UUV platforms, safeguarding critical infrastructure, naval bases, and larger
vessels in various theaters of operations.

The operational resiliency and sea denial capabilities of AIRCAT Bengals in contested waters are
reinforced by a mix of proven technologies, high speed, long range, stealth features, and
non-kinetic and kinetic systems. Additionally, these versatile vessels support logistics and medical
triage/evacuation in high-threat environments, ensuring operational efficiency in challenging
arenas.

Prepared for littoral waters, AIRCAT Bengals function as scouting craft, escorts, patrol craft, gun
and missile boats, drone launch and recovery platforms, and high-speed interceptors in shallow
waters. They facilitate frontline scout reconnaissance operations while self-recovering from
beaches.
