Fincantieri launches UAE Navy's second Falaj 2-Class vessel
The
's second
2-Class patrol vessel, Salahah (P 252), has been launched during a ceremony held at Fincantieri's shipyard in Muggiano, Italy.
In January 2010, the UAE Navy signed a contract with
for the construction of two ships, which includes an option for two additional vessels, along with transfer of technology to a local shipyard under the Falaj 2 programme.
As part of the programme,
was contracted to integrate the combat systems and a full stealth version of the Oto Melara 76/62 super rapid naval gun into the Falaj 2-Class stealth patrol vessels.
In addition to providing secure IPN-S command and control systems, Selex Sistemi Integrati was selected to supply NA 30S fire-control systems, as well as KRONOS 3D and SIR-M secondary radar systems for the vessels.
"In January 2010, the UAE Navy signed a contract with Fincantieri for the construction of two ships."
Selex Communications will supply communications systems, such as voice components in HF and V/UHF frequencies, and the data and messaging component for the frigates, as part of the deal. The first ship of the class,
, was delivered in January 2012, together with an Abu Dhabi-Class corvette to the UAE Navy.
The 55m-long, 8.6m-wide Falaj 2-Class patrol boats can accommodate a crew of 28 and cruise at a maximum speed of 20k.
The vessel's stealth structure makes it difficult to track and its highly flexible design enables it to carry out a range of missions including patrol, surveillance and control operations and self-defence from air and surface threats.
Capable of providing high standards of accommodation and safety in both domestic and international waters, the Falaj 2 incorporates a turret of either 57mm or 76mm, two small cannons, teleoperated anti-ship missiles and a surface-to-air, short-range (six-cell vertical launch) missile system and decoy launchers.
مع ان الصفقة كانت لشراء عدد 2 مع خيار شراء 2 اخريات .. لكن كان هناك نقل تكنولوجيا للحوض المحلي .. وهذه هي الصفقة المربحة بحق .
تخيلوا ما سينتجه طلب كبير للبحرية السعودية وتجهيز مسبق من حوض محلي ( الزامل كمثال ) لتبني برنامج الشراكة مع الايطاليين واستيعاب التكنولوجيا ..
انا شخصيا اتوقع فرص ذهبية للجانبين يمكن استغلالها بذكاء لتحقيق افضل المكاسب للطرفين .
