Die französische Marine testet EDA-S Landungsboot:
"...Four meters longer than its predecessor, the EDA-S is also twice as fast with a maximum speed of 16 knots, thanks to a (three times) more powerful propulsion arrangement. EDA-S can sail 300 nautical miles with a 1,2m draft at a full load identical to that of an EDA-R. It can beach in very shallow water (less than a meter in depth). With a maximum carrying capacity of 80 tons, the EDAS now allows the carriage of a Leclerc main battle tank, a capacity that was not possible with the ageing CTM. Its stern ramp now provides a roll-on roll-off capability, avoiding a time-consuming turn around maneuver. In a similar fashion to a roll-on roll-off vessel, this configuration allows the EDA-S to access a wider range of docks. Last but not least, EDA-S is fully compatible with NATO (San Antonio class for example) and even smaller, non NATO (Makassar-class for example) well decks.
The EDA-S are powered with two Scania Di16 engines developing a total power close to 1,200 kW (about 1,600 Hp).
Compared to the ageing CTM, the new EDA-S will provide the French Navy with a number of new capabilities, among which:
Leclerc MBT capability
Higher speed
Better sea keeping (up to sea state 5)
Deep sea ability to overseas missions
Ro Ro
Ability to use both ramps on piers (and not only beaches and slipways)"
