- The XSV 17 'Thunder Child' is a military boat that can self-right when capsized.
- It can fit a crew of 12 people and has a maximum speed of over 60 miles an hour.
- The boat has a remote control weapon mount that can fit a machine gun or grenade launcher.
This is the XSV 17, a self-righting boat that is created for military or law enforcement use.
It can be fitted with a retractable remote control weapon and has radar avoidance features and a night vision camera system.
The boat is designed for any weather condition and has specialist shock reducing seats.
The self-righting feature takes advantage of the boat's extremely low centre of gravity and the buoyancy of its watertight cabin to self-right.
These two factors mean that it simply flips over if capsized.
