ABOUT ASIS / BALLISTIC INFLATABLE CRAFT
ASIS / BALLISTIC INFLATABLES  manufactures  a  diverse line  of  quality inflatable craft from leisure  sports  models to  heavy  duty rigid  hull
inflatable boats (RIBs) up to 9.5 meters designed for  commercial,  touring,  military  and rescue  applications. Asis Ballistic is among the few
manufacturers that maintain complete control of the entire manufacturing process including in house construction of GRP hulls, inflatable tubes
and  all major  accessories such  as consoles, seats, and  metal  fabrication  of  T-tops and  A-frame arches.  Each  Asis Ballistic craft is fully
customizable from a wide range of accessories and upgrade. Asis / Ballistic RIBs are built for heavy duty use in the toughest conditions.

ADVANTAGES OF RIBS AND INFLATABLE BOATS.

* Exceptional load capacity -best weight / wet surface ratio, allowing for substantially greater loads than comparable size  traditional craft.

* Reassuring stability - Due to the inflatable air collar ( tube) which provides extra buoyancy and a low center of gravity, inflatable boats are
extremely stable on the water and under normal conditions, almost impossible to capsize.

* Economical - Inflatable craft can be up to 3 times as light as comparable traditional boats, allowing for easier launch and recovery, use of
a smaller tow vehicle and significantly lower fuel consumption. Unparalled performance and fuel economy  can be achieved using smaller
and lighter engines when compared to traditional boats of similar size.
RIBs are known as the marine 4X4s of the seas. All boat models, whether leisure or
commercial are built for strength and durability. Asis / Ballistic  RIB models from the
6.5M and larger are based on the "Ballistic" surface effect hull with it's reverse,
gull-wing shaped  chines for  superb performance. The  deep  V hull  cuts through
surface chop, providing  for a  smooth ride.  When underway, the  reverse curved chines
 force water and spray down upon itself thereby reducing drag while keeping crew and
passengers dry.

The  unique  "Ballistic" hull  design of  the 6.5M  to  9.5M RIBs are among  the  best
riding hulls on the market. During the recent 2008 RIBEX show,  former  SAS military
members  were  taken  on demo  rides and  were very  impressed with  the  RIB's
performance.

Each Asis / Ballistic RIB may be built to meet individual user's specific requirements by  
selecting from  an  extensive list of accessories and  upgrades including but not limited
to choice of various consoles, cabins, seating, leaning posts, T- Tops, A-Frame arches,
fuel-tank capacity, hull and tube colors, tube reinforcements, etc.

Asis / Ballistic  RIBs are  custom built for strength and durability. The fiberglass  hulls
are constructed  by  hand -layering  fiberglass to full commercial specifications.  A  very
robust  and rigid  stringer  system  insures that  each hull will withstand  the rigors and
stresses of  daily commercial use.

Asis Ballistic craft are widely used in the following applications:

* Leisure cruising
* Diving
* Touring and whale watching
* Fishing
* Fire and  Rescue
* Police and military patrol

With the security of twin engines, the larger RIBs make for a safe and
stable fishing platform that one can rely on to get out and back with the
"big ones". The higher fuel efficiency of rigid inflatable boats will allow
fishermen to troll all day at a fraction of the fuel costs of a conventional
deep V fiberglass boat of similar size.
