Seawolf VL were empty when we bought them from UK.

We didn't bought any seawolf till now?

There were none and there never have any been. VL were empty when TNI AL delegation inspected the vessels in UK by 2013

This was just like KSAU went to US to talk about F15 few months ago.

ADSB eyes OPV opportunities​

by Huw Williams

ADSB has been contracted to build the UAE Navy's Falaj 3 OPVs. (Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB))

The offshore patrol vessel (OPV) market is a natural progression for Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) following recent work to develop inshore patrol vessels, according to the company's CEO, David Massey.

Speaking during a media briefing, Massey said that the development of a wholly ADSB-designed OPV is a logical step for the company, which has earlier largely been focused on work on vessels designed by other yards and undertaking systems integration. ADSB has developed two clean sheet designs to meet coastal and inshore requirements, the 160 Inshore Tactical and Engagement Platform and the 120 Fast Inshore Platform.

Massey noted that ADSB's engineering expertise and facilities will enable it to build vessels up to 80 m in length. He highlighted the yard's experience in complex systems integration as offering an advantage over its competitors.

The yard was contracted in May 2021 to build four Falaj 3 OPVs for the United Arab Emirates Navy (UAE Navy) in a deal worth AED3.5 billion (USD953 million), and had built five of the UAE Navy's Baynunah-class corvettes.

Potential customers for the OPVs include the Gulf Cooperation Council, Malaysia and Indonesia in South-East Asia, and countries in West, East, and North Africa, said Massey.

Massey said that a number of these countries have similar requirements for vessels that can fill a range of mission sets, including counter-piracy, anti-smuggling, fisheries protection, critical offshore infrastructure security, and the protection of territorial waters.

These tasks did not require extensive systems or weapons fits and can be met by vessels that can operate with endurance, over the horizon, and are equipped with heavy machine guns or cannon, according to Massey.

After Turkey fast attack missiles boats, it is possible for the Arab Made OPV would come?

After Turkey fast attack missiles boats

Is anything happening on that side? I doubt it very much..

Not even talking about mothership - USV combo that will dominate ASW business in the next decade and that they have been offered such a system by a friendly country and preferred to ignore?

Which USV platform that be? I can understand the significant potential for USV for surveillance role, but as a mix in ASW role?

 

[trishna_amrta]

Still fooled by this 'modular' word? You can literally extend any ship from the mid, this is a common application going on since steel was introduced in shipbuilding. And not really a good idea to install a midship block to a military ship. The costs of doing this in terms of money, brings a remarkable cost that does not introduce anything; in time it doesn't worth anything.

VL MICA launchers occupy 4~ meters, they would protrude 1-1.25 out from the deck and occupy one deck level to install the launcher. In fact they will need to cut and rebuild the opening, cancel accodation area under the deck - behind the main gun and install it.

Excellent points

There are USVs which are equipped with a sonar system.

I don't intend to name one particular USV yet, so far announced systems are operating as standalone but can be easily configured in bi-static or multi-static mode. UK just showcased the new frigate concept with USV bay, Japans are building one with an USV bay. It will be available soon in the surrounding.

Even indonesia may build one USV with a foreign sonar system, store one or two of them aboard the patrol vessel - that is replacing parchim - and drop it at sea whenever a hand is needed to extend search area. Both sonar systems, the one on PV and USV, may share origins thus makes a bi-static , multi-static mode easier.
