Navy's Future add-on.Missile system for 6-Maritime Patrol Vessels

Maritime Patrol Vessel (MPV) have capability to operate independently or as part of a composite force in coastal and deep sea area as per PMSA allocated area of EEZ (240,000 sq Km) stretching 200 NM from coast and operate in SAR area of 840 NM allocated by IMO as far as possible for performing several maritime operations including search and rescue

Pakistan Navy(PMSA) keep the option to equip these 6 MPVs with Missile system. In Tender Details, Chapter 8 (Weaponry ) clearly bound bidder to make fitted arrangement for Missile system along with its associated equipment(s) e.g Radar, Ring Laser Gyro etc shall be made for future add-on.

For Now these PMSA vessels will be equip with One single-barreled 30mm naval gun (semi-automatic) installed on the main deck on fox’l (Front Portion of the ship on weather deck).Also Two 12.7mm machine guns (fitted for and supplied by PMSA) installed on both sides of the ship. Armuory to be provided for stowage of small arms (small arms to be supplied by PMSA and stored in small arm cabinet, which is capable of storing respectively 18 pistols, 20 assault rifles, 2 light machine guns).

While ammunition for Forword Naval Gun (30mm) is arranged in forward magazine, totally 500 rounds be stowed for both type of vessels. Ammunition for two sets of machine guns(12.7mm) is arranged in machine gun magazine, totally 1,000 rounds to be stowed.

Small arms ammunition is arranged in machine gun magazine, totally holding about 10,000 rounds (in 600 Ton MPV) & 15,000 rounds (in 1500 Ton MPV) .

Both Types of Vessels have Helicopter Deck Support system with facilities Take-Off/Landing platform, Helicopter lashing and landing devices. Light landing aids system, Electricity supplies, and Aviation fuel system, Safety fire-fighting, Communication and guidance.600Ton vessel have Landing and Take-off facility (Flight Deck) for Search and Rescue helicopter (Suitable for SAR Helicopter) of approx. weight of 5.5 (tons).

Maximum takeoff weight of Pakistan Z9 helicopter is 4.100021 Tons,It is quite possible that Pakistan use Z9 helicopters for SAR with new MPV’s

Each vessel come with two 6.5 m RHIB .

1500 Tons MPV speed is not less than 26 Knots at sea State 3,while 600 tons MPV speed is not less than 27 knots at sea state 3.

1500 Tons MPV can navigate at sea state 7-8 with full displacement while 600 tons MPV can navigate at sea state 5-6

As year book of MDP reveals that Contract for the indigenous development of 1 ship-borne system with 1 Land
Attack Missile and 1 Anti ship Missile is signed.Its a good news that Pakistan can use same Missile system in these Maritime Patrol Vessels in the time of conflict.indigenous system will be completed in 2018

After PAF Its PN's turn to have attention of MoD. Good to see they are being taken care of to some extent. Still a long way to go. Rather than indulging in race of numbers, PN has to bring is crisp solutions to counter adversary. Induction of systems providing Defensive Offence are suppose to be the first step for PN.
Good Luck.

MANPADS mostly for air def.

1500 ton MpV



600 ton MPV

p

1. PMSA 600 ton one have flight deck as well and may be a modified version
2. PN and PMSA are not the same entities

People need to understand that this is for PMSA and not PN. Both are different entities with different roles.

someone already posted with flight deck "H
600 t mpv

1500 ton P-18N OPVs have provision for fitment of 1 8 cell FM-90N SAM or other short range radar guided SAM.

Are we getting 1500 ton or 600 ton ? looks like we will be getting 600 ton and how many ?

definitely Anti ship missiles are going to be installed on those ships latter on.

The design seems much advanced and stealthy than the one displayed in the first post link copied below.

yap or Navy start receiving attention of Missile production labs, its late but its good to see local development or joint ventures
