Following a period of inactivity during the Second Tiberium War, when they were replaced with Hover MLRS and amphibious APCs, the hovercrafts once again saw extensive use in the Third Tiberium War, as a heavily armored rapid deployment craft. The new hovercraft was created by MiG/Scaled Composites. It uses angled surfaces and edge treatment typical of GDI advanced surface development. Also visible are the trapezoidal surface openings used to configure elements such as air intakes and operator compartment windows.
