Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced Wednesday that it has been awarded a contract worth approximately $80 million to supply a comprehensive naval warfare systems suite for Shaldag MK V fast patrol boats, made by Israel Shipyards, to an undisclosed country in Southeast Asia. The contract will be executed over the course of three years, Rafael said.

Rafael will supply its client with the advanced suite that includes a combat management system, Typhoon and Mini-Typhoon remote operating weapon systems, naval Spike missiles, Sea-Com internal communication system and BNET tactical data link, as well as other components with full maintenance and support services, according to the company.

Ran Tavor, Vice President and head of Rafael's Naval Warfare Systems directorate, said "Our naval applications integrate the groundbreaking combat-proven technologies found in Rafael systems across a multitude of domains along with the important advantage of accumulated experience in major naval projects with customers all around the world."

"The specialized portfolio of naval systems utilizes Rafael's world-renowned latest technological innovation, such as advanced naval missile system using electro-optics seeker, computer vision, artificial intelligence and decision-making algorithms, that enables a wide range of tailored capability deployment choices, offering clients pinpoint accuracy, unrivaled flexibility and adaptability in order to best tackle current and future threats as well as to meet their individual requirements and needs."

Rafael to supply warfare systems suite for Shaldag Mk V boats ordered by Southeast Asian country

by Gabriel Dominguez


Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced on 1 September that it has secured a contract worth about USD80 million to supply a “comprehensive naval warfare systems suite” for Shaldag Mk V fast patrol boats being built by Israel Shipyards for a Southeast Asian country.

The Tel Aviv-based firm said in a statement that the contract, which is to be fulfilled over the course of three years, includes the supply of a combat management system (CMS), Typhoon and Mini-Typhoon remotely controlled weapon systems (RWCS), Naval Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile systems, the Sea-Com shipborne communication system, the BNET tactical data link, and other components with full maintenance and support services.

No further details were provided about the contract, but Janes understands that the warfare systems suite is likely to equip the eight Shaldag Mk Vs ordered earlier this year by the Philippine Navy (PN), which on 14 May revealed it was expecting to receive the first three of these boats from Israel Shipyards in the first quarter of 2022.

The boats, which are meant to meet a PN requirement for missile-capable fast attack interdiction craft (FAIC-M), will be initially deployed in the ‘Mindanao area of responsibility' where there are “continuous operations against LTGs [local terrorist groups] and CTGs [communist terrorist groups]”, the state-owned Philippine News Agency (PNA) reported on 14 May, citing then-Chief Vice Admiral Giovanni Carlo Bacordo.
