BAR Technologies that it has partnered with British company SubSea Craft Ltd in the design and build of VICTA – the world’s most advanced diver delivery unit.
According to a company statement, as the principal partner, BAR Technologies has been integral to the shape and form of VICTA – designing and optimising the hull and control system to enable truly remarkable performance both on the surface and submerged.
BAR Technologies and SubSea Craft began collaborating on the VICTA development in 2018, progressing the build over the last 14 months. The vessel is currently in ‘finishing’ where the carbon fibre hull is completed prior to receiving a synthetic, coloured outer ‘wrap’. This crucial step provides VICTA’s streamlined shape, reduces the acoustic signature and assures watertight integrity. These are essential components for a craft designed to operate at speed on the surface before submerging rapidly to transit, discreetly, below the surface.
