MacGregor Heads to Kone

Lockheed Martin’s vessel is based on the design of SLICE, a vessel the company designed, built and tested for America’s Office of Naval Research. It takes SWATH technology one step further by converting the twin hull SWATH into a four hulled SLICE. The patented design breaks the two long submerged hulls of a SWATH into four smaller pods, each with larger diameters but smaller lengths.
