Doesnt ASuW means Anti Submarine Warfare? Its written here it will be used to identify and destroy Surface targets

are they going to be the durjoy class design or some new design?

If they get a new SSM from mentioned country which should have longer range and larger two quad launchers and 30mm main gun that means design's supposed to change.

Excellent news! Would have been good if one of the boats had ASW capability. But anyways, no complain.

The Navy leadership continues to show why they are competent. Quick and effective decision making.

This tender is really good. BN top brass played it smart.
According to this tender this LPC's could be of Chinese origin i.e. Azmat/Durjoy Class, but they kept the door open for new contenders from other countries.

But BN wants all the sub-systems from western countries including the missile. Good.

Looks to be likely a new class or a modified Durjoy with explicitly Western sensors, propulsion and missiles/guns.

Excellent!

It will effectively be a new class of ship.

Let's wait & see if BN will create a different namesake for this one.

Excellent!

Even on Durjoy class the sonar & propulsion is of western origin. BN has special feelings for SEMT Pielstick /MTU diesel engines.

Hopefully they name it as such as a new class.

Very exciting this shift towards the West.

Now if only the BAF follows suit.....

ASuW may mean Anti-Surface Warfare. The important point is the ship is being designed, built and armaments assembled in BD. I am happy to note the armaments are to be from the western sources and not from those two anti-BD Rohingya-hater China and Russia.

Damn!! 2 x 4 SSM is no joke. The way they are adding western weapons, sensors and other things in small vessel clearly hints that BN is trying to shift it's reliability from China and also what might happen to locally built corvette and frigate.

Future corvette and frigate might get 8/16 SSM/AShM/LACM or more in VLS/UVLS and new, cheap but equal to western from Turkish/Korean ship design and weapons like SSM and SAM might get selected. This will be the best modern ship built locally so far and better than the counterpart our neighbor operates. But it's sad that they excluded 76mm naval gun like Durjoy class has. Wouldn't be bad if they build something based on Yoon Youngha-class patrol vessel and add 76mm gun and 12 Launcher 130 mm guided rocket.

Sensors too, as fitted currently on other platforms of this size/role. From Kelvin Hughes and other reputed vendors.

2X4 SSM and hopefully waterjet power like the Korean craft here. It is sad that our private yards have already built waterjet-powered patrol craft capable of near 40 knots speed but Navy yards haven't.

I believe we will also expect the new design craft to have a RHIB launch ramp, a la the Pakistani Azmat class. A rigid-hulled inflatable Buoyancy (RHIB) or rigid-inflatable Buoyancy (RIB) is a lightweight but high-performance and high-capacity unsinkable boat constructed with a rigid hull bottom joined to side-forming air tubes that are inflated with air to a high pressure so as to give the sides resilient rigidity along the boat’s topsides.

For interdiction purposes, you need to carry a RHIB and launch it rather quickly.

Here is a view of the rear RHIB launch ramp in the Azmat class. Also note the higher number of missiles fitted compared to the Durjoy class.

Other concepts...

This is a US Marines 11 meter RHIB...

U can add Pakistani systems
