Interesting heavily armed OPV by the UAE The Falaj 3 May Be The World’s Most Heavily Armed Patrol Boat

i know people say Australia doesn’t need heavily armed OPVs but they need them to patrol Sydney harbour in the event the Northside decides to blockade Chardonnay shipments to the eastern suburbs,

But genuinely that Leonardo 76mm OTO Super Rapid gun equipped with the STRALES guided ammunition system is interesting as a low cost all rounder.

Agree the strales/dart system looks more and more interesting in the light of UAV/USV proliferation.

Also, first confirmation I've seen of any specific navy using the Australian designed EOS r400-m.

U.S. Navy Reveals Naval Modular Missile Architecture for Future Air Defense Interceptors

Interesting that the USN look to be moving to a new common missile family to replace ESSM / SM2 / SM6.

More interesting again is the intention for sub launchable variants. A terrifying thought for ASW helos, AWACS and MPAs as long as the sub can solve the targeting problem.

Also puts even more of a premium on VLS for SSN AUKUS.

Its not so much the capability of having these missiles launched from submarines but for the submarine itself to be networked into the targetting and the communication with the submarine when underwater,Im not sure if a definite method has been worked out with this ot theoretical ,hopefully this option is a consideration for the AUKUS submarine
