BARR-A™ - Multi-Function Transom Adaptor to Military Inflatable Boats
- Provides an interface between the boat transom and outboard motor that allows the boat to be bundled and air dropped with the motor already fitted to the transom. The system significantly reduces operator exertion and setup time of the watercraft post-airdrop. It also allows the operators to simply and safely maneuver the OBM out of the later and into the boat to conduct maintenance whilst at sea
