class will be fitted with:
8x MBDA Exocet MM40 Block 3 12x MBDA MICA VL surface-to-air missiles (in VLS) 1x Oto Melara 76mm main gun 2x Oto Melara MARLIN-WS 30mm gun mounts The corvette will acomodate one anti-submarine helicopters Ka-28. The corvettes are set to receive the latest generation of electronics and sensors from Thales including TACTICOS combat management system, SMART-S Mk 2 radar and STING EO Mk 2 electro-optical fire control system. Design wise, the new Sigma 9814 differs quite a lot combared to existing Sigma designs (9813, 10513 or 10514) especially around the bridge area. Likewise, the bow appears to be more angled to possibly provide more stealth. |
