The first of 60 new Rigid Inflatable Boats built by BAE Systems for the Royal Navy as part of a £13.5m contract has been completed by the highly-skilled team within the company’s Small Boats Centre of Excellence at Portsmouth Naval Base. The next generation Pacific 24 Mark-4 craft will be deployed on Royal Navy ships such as Offshore Patrol Vessels and the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers. At BAE Systems, our advanced defence technology protects people and national security, and keeps critical information and infrastructure secure.
