The A.R.C. (Amphibious Rescue Craft) is a rugged all terrain vehicle that can be used to deliver vital aid and supplies anywhere required including flooded areas which are inaccessible to most other vehicles.

Variable height ground clearance combined with large wheels and all terrain tyres provide excellent off road capabilities, whilst a boat hull and retractable wheels enable the A.R.C. to plane at high speeds across water with minimal friction and uncompromised performance.

The high output diesel engine powers the wheels when on land and the water jet propulsion system when waterborne,delivering up to one tonne of thrust.

Once landed at its destination, the A.R.C. uses an on-board crane (known as a 'Multilift' system) to rapidly deploy a supply unit containing anything from medicine or food to a water purification system.

Supply units can be opened to form mobile shelters for distribution of supplies or temporary living quarters/command centres etc.

Image 8 in the gallery to the right features a water filtration system that has been deployed at the site of a mass flood. This is used to purify contaminated flood water, returning it to life-saving drinking water which is otherwise scarce in a flooded environment.

An unfoldable canopy marked with an ID symbol and number (e.g. Red Cross, Supply Unit number etc.) provides shelter from the rain and can be easily identified by passing rescue helicopters.

The name A.R.C. not only stands for Amphibious Rescue Craft but also identifies with Noah’s Arc which was believed to have been used as a rescue / refuge craft during a mass flood.
