The Missile Corvette is based on a well-proven hull form with good sea-keeping and resistance characteristics.
The hull is constructed of light gauge steel to a special longitudinal framing system while the superstructure is constructed using marine grade aluminium alloy. The end result is a rugged, highly manoeuvrable platform capable of carrying a wide array of the latest weapons systems.
The 62m Missile Corvette is specially designed to fulfil the following missions:
- Escort of shipping to protect it from attacks by hostile surface and air forces
- Search and destroy missions against hostile surface forces and denial of sea passage to hostile sea transports
- Detection and attack on hostile submarine forces
- Provision of gunfire support in conjunction with a naval operation
- General patrolling, surveillance and protection of offshore resources
