French naval defence and shipbuilding group DCNS announced that they signed a contract with MBDA Italia for the supply of SYLVER vertical launch system cells. The contract signed during Eurosatory defense exhibition in June is for the delivery of VLS to be fitted aboard five of the future multi role patrol vessels of the Italian Navy (Pattugliatori Polivalenti d’Altura or PPA).

Each vessel is set to receive two SYLVER A50 modules to deploy MBDA's Aster 30 long-range surface to air missile. The same A50 modules will have the possibility to launch the future CAMM-ER missile which development is underway.
     
GE’s Marine Solutions will provide the LM2500+G4 gas turbine that will power the Italian Navy’s new Pattugliatori Polivalenti d’Altura (PPA) multipurpose offshore patrol ships. The ships’ hybrid electric propulsion system also will use GE’s shock-proof MV3000 drives and a GE-designed electrical network of motors as part of the propulsion system.The Pattugliatori Polivalenti d’Altura - PPA
     
PPA – Multipurpose Offshore Patrol Ship

The PPAs will be built at Fincantieri’s Integrated Shipyard of Riva Trigoso and Muggiano, with delivery of the first vessel of the class set for 2021

The multipurpose offshore patrol ship is a highly flexible ship with capacity to serve multiple functions ranging from patrol with sea rescue capacity to Civil Protection operations, and in its most highly equipped version, first line fighting vessel. There will be indeed different configurations of combat system: a “soft” one for the patrol task integrated for self-defence ability, and a “full” one, equipped for a complete defence ability. The vessel is also capable of operating high-speed vessels such as RIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) up to 11 meters long through lateral cranes or a hauling ramp located at the far stern.
• 129 meters long
• Speed of over 31 knots
• 171 persons of the crew
• Equipped with a combined diesel and gas turbine plant (CODAG)
• Capacity to supply drinking water to land
• Capacity to provide electricity to land with 2000 kw of power
• Possibility of embarking modular residential and healthcare zones
• 2 modular zones at the stern and at the center of the ship that allow the embarking of various types of containerized operating/logistic/healthcare modules (in particular, the stern area may receive and handle within a covered area up to 5 modules in ISO 20” containers, while the central zone may receive and handle up to 8 ISO 20” containers)
The PPAs will be built at the Integrated Shipyard of Riva Trigoso and Muggiano, with delivery expected, for the first vessel of the class, in 2021, while the following deliveries of the vessels will take place in 2022, 2023, 2024 (two units), and 2025.
