ESNA proposes 22m Surface Effect Ship for UK-Norway Joint Commando Craft

ESNA unveiled a high-speed Surface Effect Ship concept for the UK-Norwegian Joint Commando Craft program, emphasizing 67-knot sprint speed, air-cushioned ride, and shallow beach landing via integrated bow ramp. The design is positioned as future-ready with reduced signatures, embedded sensors/comms, and the ability to operate manned or fully unmanned while carrying troops, vehicles, drones, and weapon systems—representing a notable evolution of littoral commando insertion craft for Arctic conditions.
