In some places, as shallow lands and transition areas midway between land and water, the professional activity (survey, patrolling, rescue) becomes very difficult for a traditional vehicle as jeep, truck, boat, helicopter or tyre-amphibian.
 
The natural use of professional compact  Hovercrafts is only possible  with the  availability of amphibious vehicles that join small size and a special construction to reach high performances – usually reserved to big hovercrafts.
 
SOA uses the most advanced compact hovercrafts on the market, with low emission (EURO 1 and 2) engines, to provide professional services in wetlands, lagoons, rivers, shallow waters and inconsistant land.
 
Thanks to the experience obtained operating for over 8000 hours in the most difficult environmental conditions, SOA has tested appropriate intervention techniques in areas where traditional professional vehicles cannot operate efficiently and fast:
 
hydrogeology
environment
water rescue
patrolling
emergency control
wetlands operation

SOA is also active with:
 
hovercraft drivers training
maintenance and technical assistance
operating techniques planning  
construction of special ancillary equipment
special hovercaft fitting
