In 2007, the Californian company Marine Advanced Robotics built a 30-meter adaptive modular vessel (WAM-V)

"Wave-Adaptable Modular Vessel, or WAM-V"(Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel), is an innovative class of watercraft that uses unique suspension technology to radically improve seaworthiness. The articulated system uses springs, shock absorbers and hinges to minimize stress on the lightweight modular vessel's structure. As a result, the boat is able to operate in conditions where other vehicles cannot cope,” the company reports on its website.
The boats come in three shapes and sizes: WAM-V 8 SV, WAM-V 16 SV and WAM-22 SV. Each has a unique set of qualities, advantages and uses.
The first one can be loaded into the body of a standardpickup truck or checked in as baggage on a domestic flight. The second model is ideal for inshore and coastal conditions. It can be transported in a trailer and assembled on the beach.

The third and largest boat operates atportable yet stable platform It can be used in both coastal and open ocean environments. All three versions are used in maritime research, defense forces and maritime security.
Essentially, these are ultra-light catamarans equippedhanging supports that look like spider legs. They can handle conditions that most boats cannot handle. They can be controlled remotely or autonomously, and the models run on both internal combustion engines and electric motors.
