BMT Venator®-110 provides a platform with capability enhancement options
for added future flexibility. Its hullform was developed for open ocean
performance, with the ability to support reconfigurable top side arrangements.
Modular mission systems are used to affordably reconfigure the ship depending
on role requirements and the need to respond to changing threats. The
Patrol Ship and Patrol Frigate versions of the BMT Venator®-110 design
show how an intelligent design can support a change in mission modules
for mission re-role through simple understanding of operational requirements
and equipment integration. |
