The cabin of the RBS is equipped with four SHOXS 2000 seats with 5-Point harnesses, arm rests, and hand grips so crews remain safely in position even under rough conditions.

UK Ministry of Defence PAC 24 RIBS

UK Ministry of Defence PAC 24 RIBS

In 2014 the MOD tendered an open call for shock-mitigating seats to be tested, with the aim of determining the best product with which to equip the Royal Navy's fleet of small boats. Twelve seat manufacturers submitted seventeen products, and the MOD conducted an arduous testing program in 2015. At sea, basic functionality and operability were assessed by experts, and a Human Factors Integration assessment was conducted. Ultimately the SHOXS 5005 and 5050 were selected as the winners, and the Royal Navy ordered 60 of BAE's next generation PAC 24 Mk IV boats equipped with SHOXS seats. Refit of existing assets is also underway for the existing PAC 24 fleet.
