현재 APAR 방공함들은 무장탑재량이 부족하다는 근본(...)적인 문제에 직면했습니다. 레이다는 GaN소자를 도입한다든가 S/W는 개선의 여지가 있지만 플랫폼(선체)의 한계는 달리 방법이 없죠.
자체적인 센서와 유도기능은 없이, 무장만 싣고 방공함을 따라다니면서 쏴주는 550톤 짜리 보조함을 2척 조달한다고 합니다. 선체 크기를 보면 1천 톤 미만급 아닐까 싶습니다만... 대공무장은 바락-8ER, 대지공격은 하롭무인기로 죄다 이스라엘제입니다.
Dutch Navy to buy armed sidekick ships for its air-defense frigates
The Netherlands plans to buy two support vessels that will act as sidekicks to its air-defense frigates, packing additional missiles to defeat swarms of anti-ship missiles and drones, for an investment in the range of €250 million to €1 billion (US$279 million to $1.1 billion).
“These vessels are needed to better protect the Netherlands and allies in the event of a threat,” Tuinman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, describing the two future support vessels as “sailing toolboxes” for the lead vessel. “The ships are capable of carrying a lot of equipment, such as additional firepower and long-range anti-aircraft missiles.”
Dutch shipyard Damen will build the vessels, with Israel Aerospace Industries supplying its Barak ER surface-to-air interceptor, Harop long-range loitering munition as well as electronic-warfare equipment. Buying the missiles, long-range munitions and EW equipment from a single supplier will simplify integration work, the defense ministry said.
The vessels will have a length of about 53 meters and a beam of 9.8 meters, for a displacement of 550 tons, a MoD spokesman told Defense News. That compares to a length of around 144 meters and displacement of more than 6,000 tons for the De Zeven Provinciën-class air-defense and command frigates operated by the Dutch Navy.
The service’s air-defense frigates will continue to be equipped with RTX’s SM-2 surface-to-air missile, and the frigate’s radar and fire-control systems will handle launch and targeting for the missiles on the support vessels.
The support ships will each have a crew of at least eight sailors. While current technology isn’t sufficiently mature for fully autonomous vessels, the new ships will provide the Navy with experience in operating with small crews, as a first step toward unmanned vessels, Tuinman said.
PS 역시 요즘 물가(?)는 옛날 상식따윈 붕괴될 지경이네요. ESSM이 아닌 바락8인 이유가 보입니다.

첫댓글 역시 함정판 cca가 등장할것 같았는데 역시나
이거 공개된 CG를 봤는데 과격 환경단체 시 쉐퍼드가 운용하는 것이랑, 영국 해군의 시험용 무인함이랑 같은 디자인이더라고요.
이런 얘기 들을 때마다 생각하는 게 고강도 실전에서 미사일 가진 만큼 다 쓰는 게 가능한가... 싶더라구요.
