Proven Platform
The 62m Missile Corvette is based on a well proven hull form with good see-keeping and resistance character
istics.
The hull is constructed of light gauge steel to a special longitudinal framing system while the superstructure is constructed using marine grade alumunium alloy. The end result is rugged, highly maneuverable platform capable of carrying a wide array of the latest weapons systems.
Optimised for Fighting Efficiency and Survivability
The vessel is capable of sustained operations at full speed up to Sea State 3 and at reduced speed up to Sea State 7.
The vessel is designed to present a low Radar Cross Section and a reduced infra red signature.
The hull is designed for stability in a damaged condition such as when two adjacent compartments are flooded.
Propulsion and auxiliary systems are designed for redundancy in case of damage.
Flexible Weapon Fit
The vessel as configured has a multi role capability with all the weapon and sensors for Attack, ASW and Self Defence Missions.
Depending on the owner’s priorities and requirements, other configura
tions can be easily accommodated as the vessel has a high weapon payload and large under-deck space and deck area for armament. In addition, a reserve margin in displacement is provided for future growth.Improved Habitability
Special attention has been given for crew comfort.
The layout features practical, uncluttered and ergonomically designed working and resting spaces. Operational and accommodation spaces are sited to optimize both functional efficiency and crew comfort. The use of the latest electronics for monitoring and control of major on board machinery and equipment means lower crew numbers.
All operational and accommodation areas are air-conditioned for operations in all climates.
