MSVEX MKIII BOBCAT AMPHIBIAN

(New Release Now Available)

MSV Explorer has undergone a complete transformation and metamorphosis into what is known as the MSVEX MKIII Bobcat Amphibian.

This go anywhere commercially coded machine can’t fail to impress both the private and commercial sector alike with it’s robust build quality, relentless power and 360 degree axis spin and turn capability in water or on land.

Whilst the Bobcat may look like a submarine with a difference, like all previous models within the MSVEX Range, the MSVEX Bobcat is in fact a versatile electriy powered amphibian designed to facilitate a breath taking 360 degree visual experience of the world below the surface of the ocean during the day or at night without risk or time limitation.

General Arrangement

The craft comprise a floating hull under which a 40mm thick inverted acrylic hemisphere is fixed and bonded, forming the main structural component of the two seat observation cockpit which is permanently positioned beneath the ocean when in operation.

All batteries and electronic components are stowed in the upper floating hull with the main controls located within easy reach of the two upper hull seats.

Optional secondary controls can be installed within the low observation cockpit and positioned upon the centre console between the two observation cockpit seats for easy reach.

Access to the craft is via the upper hull canopy, with the passengers stepping down through the upper hull into the observation cockpit.

Power, Propulsion & Performance in Water

Whilst the MSV Explorers are not designed for speed, the Bobcat is capable of approximately 6 knot forward and 4 knots reverse according to prevailing conditions, with an incredible axis spin and turn capability due to the horizontally apposed twin Torqeedo thrusters positioned horizontally apposed either side of the cockpit.

The thrust system is powered by two separately managed 24 volt lithium battery banks, providing more than 100hrs use before the need to recharge, according to set up and specification.

MSVEX Cat Track Systems

The MSVEX Cat Track Systems make it possible to tow or drive the Bobcat from trailer into water without the need for expensive crane or heavy lifting equipment, making the MSVEX Bobcat the most flexible and versatile craft of it’s kind in the world.

Power & Performance on Land

Each system will effortlessly and relentlessly drive the Bobcat up or down gradients of 30 degrees or more according to ground conditions and are fitted with heavy duty rubber tracks with a soft footprint to minimise ground impact, whilst at the same time deliver the grip and traction needed to provide an incredible 360 degree axis turn and spin capability, particularly useful for manoeuvring and parking on board ship.
