Design

The patrol craft have a modern design with crew comforts like low noise levels, and AC. The patrol craft have higher levels of survivability over some patrol craft due to various features like water-tight compartmentalization which allows the vessel to stay afloat even if one compartment is completely flooded, other important things like the engines are shock mounted, the use of fire-proof and fire-resistant materials, and back-up power supplies. The patrol crafts armament allows the craft to engage surface, ground, and air targets, and can have an additional missile system installed. The 30 mm gun is controlled by a Kolonka ring sight fire control director. The patrol craft also carry a small boat for boarding operations, search and rescue, or other missions.[2]
