single-point lifted LARS solution

---

Designed to be used in rough offshore conditions and operated from a moving support vessel, this UV LAR system is fully automated and of a “open” design making it suitable to receive USV's with different types of keel-mounted payloads up to a weight of 6 Tons.
A patented lock and release system consists of a series of specially designed magnets that are activated by sensors and controlled by RC Dock’s in-house developed software program.

A handheld remote-control unit allows the operator to individually start a launch or recovery process, a display providing the operator real-time information on the LARS process cycle and locking status. Two pneumatic movable arms are installed to provide a wider point of entry when in an open position and an additional lock when closed.
The complete LAR system uses high-pressure air instead of hydraulic fluids to guarantee zero oil spill in the event of system leakage or damages.

Floatation and fender modules are of a closed-cell high-density foam, with a special spray-on coating that allows the LARS to absorb and withstand high “slamming” impact loads with the mother vessel during launch and recovery operations in rough weather conditions.

A modular designed LARS storage and transportation cradle removes the need for large sea fastening or expensive modifications to vessel decks and allows all systems, including the USV, to be transported using a standard 40ft. ISO shipping container.
