Fast interceptors

Power, precision and protection for special security operations

High-speed platforms designed for rapid intervention and maritime control

Interceptors designed for rapid response and tactical superiority

TLT Marine & Services, through its UFAST naval shipyard, designs fast interceptors intended for the most demanding missions, including rapid response, pursuit, escort duties, protection of sensitive areas and special security operations.

Ranging from 12 to 18 metres, these vessels combine speed, power and reliability within architectures fully designed to ensure crew safety and mission success.

Their design builds on extensive experience gained in support of intervention units, coast guards and national navies operating in coastal, riverine and open-sea environments.

A coherent range from 12 to 18 metres

From compact interceptors for coastal missions to heavy, very high-speed platforms, the ITC range reflects the shipyard’s expertise in key areas such as:

• Hull designs tested in hydrodynamic basins to optimise performance

• Propulsion systems suited to high-speed operations (outboards, waterjets or surface drives)

• Ballistic protection, crew comfort and climate control for extended missions

• Capability to integrate a wide range of mission systems

• Ergonomics tailored to boarding teams and embarked operations

Each model is custom developed according to user requirements, whether for navies, customs services, specialised units or maritime law enforcement agencies.

ITC 12 – Light and versatile interceptor

The ITC 12 (12.7 metres) is a compact interceptor designed for coastal and riverine missions.

With top speeds of up to 45 knots, it combines marine-grade aluminium construction with a high-performance hull form.

Powered by triple outboard or diesel engines, it offers an endurance of approximately 350 nautical miles, excellent manoeuvrability and high operational flexibility.

Its modular configuration allows the integration of surveillance, intervention or rapid deployment equipment, depending on mission requirements.

Light, powerful and responsive, the ITC 12 is ideally suited to control, interdiction and rapid deployment missions.

ITC 15 AR – The reference interceptor

Developed for armed forces and coast guards, the ITC 15 AR (15 metres) is an armoured, multi-role interceptor.

Designed to operate in sea states 3 and 4, it delivers immediate response capabilities in hostile coastal and riverine environments.

Its protected cabin provides defence against ballistic threats, while tactical navigation and communication systems support a wide range of missions, including:

Protection and escort of sensitive vessels
Counter-piracy and counter-trafficking operations
Humanitarian support and search and rescue
Special security, interception and control missions

Available with outboard or waterjet propulsion, the ITC 15 AR combines endurance (150 NM at 30 knots), speed (up to 40 knots) and versatility.

It represents the operational interceptor par excellence: reliable, protected and adaptable to sovereign missions.

ITC 18 – Heavy high-speed interceptor

A true showcase of TLT–UFAST expertise, the ITC 18 was designed for very high-speed interception missions and the deployment of specialised intervention units.

At 19.5 metres, powered by twin 1,900 hp MAN V12 engines coupled with surface drives, it achieves speeds exceeding 60 knots.

Its stepped hull and optimised composite structure provide exceptional stability, precise handling and impact resistance at high speed.

The forward deck can accommodate a remotely operated weapon system (12.7 mm), while the wheelhouse houses the equipment of a 4- to 6-person intervention team.

The ITC 18 pushes the limits of speed and performance in support of special operations as well as the control and protection of maritime spaces.

Interceptors serving sovereign missions

Designed and built in France, TLT–UFAST interceptors address the strategic needs of coastal States in terms of:

  • Maritime approaches security

  • Protection of sensitive areas

  • Maritime interdiction

  • Amphibious and special operations

  • Humanitarian assistance and emergency response

Each vessel results from advanced engineering, rigorous production processes and proven experience across the world’s seas.
