Philippines Rebids Attack Craft Program
Sea Power, Feb 2007
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa37...02/ai_n18708915

The Republic of the Philippines will rebid its Multi-Purpose Attack Craft program. The program calls for the construction and delivery of three patrol craft to the Philippine Navy in 270 days. Total funding authorized for the program is $4.42 million.

The program was initially bid in 2005, with the low bidder being Maritime Partners of Norway at $2.6 million to cover the costs of two craft. However, the program never proceeded past that point until the rebid documents became public again in late 2006.

Funding for the new bid is $1.47 million per unit, slightly higher than the first bid-per-unit cost submitted in 2005.

what type of attack craft are these? missile boats?

Duminus - May 17, 2007 03:22 AM (GMT)

minortremor:

the MPAC is basically 15-meter fast patrol boat armed only with machine guns

The 15-meter FPB is employed in many countries as a police patrol craft

It should be more or less similar to the Plascoa 15-meter boat:

Looks familiar? I wonder how our NSOG guys would feel? :aberet:

didu - May 17, 2007 09:24 AM (GMT)
are those brand new sir? maybe not.

i believe this bid is for brand new boats only.

Im in Cebu and there are shipyards here that I believe can easily build a 15metre boat, why not tap them? Its probably cheaper.


saver111 - May 17, 2007 11:31 AM (GMT)
I believe these units are newly built but purchase did not pushed thru as indicated above due to currency devaluation of the state who ordered it.

As for the MK V, it's been used by PMCs guarding oil flatforms in Iraq.

As has been discussed before in some threads here, I agree on proposals for locally built boats. :thumb:

HOW ABOUT RP-MADE NAVAL VESSELS?, why not?

^^

PDFF has everything covered.

We may ran out of new topics to discuss soon.

Didu, is right, the boat can be made in Cebu or in Subic, problem is, no local shipyard probably participated in the bid since they are busy making far larger boats and ships. :armywink:

flipzi - July 7, 2008 08:40 AM (GMT)
with the unabated poaching, and the sad fact that the boats were still able to escape, i suggest we need FASTER boats now.

read on please;

this boat is a good concept. the optronic-controlled 25mm-30mm Rafale gun on it would be awesome.

Super Dvora Mk II

user posted image

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/nav...uperDvora2.html

The Super Dvora Mk. II is a high performance purpose-designed fast patrol and attack craft (FPC), and remains one of the most capable in the world today. Following on the experience gained in earlier generations of fast patrol craft designed and built by IAI-Ramta and including the Dabur, Shapirit, Dvora and Super Dvora Mk. I, classes of FPC, the Super Dvora Mk. II incorporates more than 25 years of experience gained in combat and peacetime operation in the Israel Navy and other navies around the globe.
The Super Dvora Mk. II has been used on numerous missions worldwide during which it has demonstrated considerable endurance, payload carrying capability, stability and maneuvering ability.

High-Speed Patrol and Attack Craft


As the latest generation of the operationally proven Super Dvora family now in the water, the Super Dvora Mk. II is capable of performing all-weather littoral/brown water surveillance, search and rescue missions, policing duties (detection, interception and interdiction of maritime pirates, terrorists, smugglers, fugitives and other suspects), as well as increased "blue water" naval operations within a broader, complex set of roles and missions in conjunction with other air, sea and land-based forces.

In January 2002, the Israel Navy again chose IAI-Ramta and the Super Dvora platform as its next generation fast patrol and interdiction craft. In this program, IAI-Ramta will build six of the latest generation fast patrol boats, and holds options for five more. This, the Super Dvora Mk III version of the craft, is now in construction at IAI-Ramta and will be launched in the near future. In addition, the company is currently negotiating several new contracts expected to generate additional sales in 2003.


Super Dvora Technical Overview


The Super Dvora Mk. II high-speed patrol craft is a state-of-the-art purpose-designed platform based on the combat-proven Super Dvora family, and excels in the performance of a variety of naval missions from typical off-shore coastal patrol mission profiles to high-speed, high-maneuver littoral warfare. The ship's hull geometry and layout, main and auxiliary systems and performance characteristics have been carefully chosen to suit operational and economic parameters prioritized by specific naval customers, but with sufficient built-in flexibility to enable the adaptation of the above to other operators' unique requirements and operating environments.
The 23-25m long, 5.7m breadth, 1.1m mean draft 50-65t Super Dvora Mk. II and Mk. III utilizes a well-proven marine aluminum alloy planing hull of proportions capable of maintaining high standards of sea-keeping, maneuverability and static/dynamic intact/damaged stability in adverse environments.

Power Packs and Surface Piercing Propellers


The craft is offered with a range of power packs and a choice of surface piercing propellers driven by TDI ASD16 surface drives or water-jet propulsion systems depending on specific customer preferences or choice.
Correct matching of hull, power pack and propulsor permit the ship commander to choose between a very fast (45-52 knot) "sprint" (interception) speed, and extended loitering/cruising speeds and beach-landing requirements. Range/endurance is a 700 nautical mile radius, but can be altered to suit specific requirements.

The boat's configuration provides flexibility in equipment layout and support for various roles and missions, including the over-side lifting/deploying of assault/commando/police craft and beach landing capability.


Craft Operation



The craft is operated from one of three air-conditioned control stations (open bridge, closed bridge, engine/steering compartments) and has a low silhouette, above-deck profile.
The craft can be operated by a minimum of three crew, but has air-conditioned bunk accommodations for up to ten or 12 crew (on duty, off duty), in seven separate watertight below-deck. Other passengers (i.e. naval/coast guard personnel; arrested or detained suspects; or rescued survivors from a marine accident) can be accommodated below deck for specific periods of time.


Robust Design For Weapons Installation

user posted image

The Super Dvora Mk. II and Super Dvora Mk. III design is robust to allow for the installation of Typhoon 25-30mm stabilized cannon, light or heavy machine guns, all of which can be slaved to state-of the art mast-mounted, day/night, long range electro-optic systems.
The relatively high mast can be folded to allow overland transport of the craft by standard transporter.


Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Targeting



State-of-the-art external/internal communication systems, navigation and day/night long-range surveillance and targeting suites can be provided according to specific customer specifications.

Precision Anti-Ship Weapon Systems

Additionally, in its naval attack mode, IAI-Ramta is currently working a number of new configurations for the flexible Super Dvora platform, among them the "Strike" version, or "Littoral Warrior", equipped with a variety of very advanced precision weapon systems.

So there's version III already. This one has the 25-30mm Rafale gun already. This is what we need in stopping the poaching and illegal entry.

flipzi, all i can say is : WOW
Pero sayang yung gamit ng Sri Lanka, all end up sunk by Sea Tigers: If that dvora is in the Philippine hands: Mahihirapan sa atin sea tigers cause our Navy knows how to defend it's boat

At saka parang kulang ang training ng Sri Lanka Navy in terms of defence maneuver, di kasi nila nagamit ng tama yung dvora. sayang talaga.

The Navy's FAC, which looked like the older Dvora FAC (unguided gun), was sank maybe because it got outmanuevered, outnumbered and outgunned.

The seaborned Tamil got what seems to be a bazzoka in their boat, while the Navy could only rely on the unguided gun. Outflanked, the Navy lost.

This suggest that we the new DVora FAC with the automated gun or the 25-30 mm Rafale Typhoon gun.

The FAC must alsoi have the needed suites for night engagements as well as the radar and if possible the sonar.

The automated gun will enable the FAC to react fast enough and shoot accurately. Without it, when the battle gets rough, the outnumbered and outgunned FAC will eventually succumb to the overwhelming odds.

Yes but the PN may not neccesarily be saving a lot of money.

The CB 90s bid should has passed notice of award so it won't be too long for delivery.

The super dvora is very nice boat but it's got very short legs. I'd prefer something that has blue water capability since our area is huge and the boats few and far between.

the money for the MPAC project was always available. funding by DOE(energy Dept) but this project encountered red tape and "tong" thats why it was re-bidded according to an AFP personnel.
CB-90 or something similar is the preferred choice of the PN.

I think we need a lot of CB 90series or Super Dvora MK II to guard our Mlampaya reservoir. We must secure the area from terrorist or creepers from coming in.. In my opinion we should look for the best and eliminate redtapes in sourcing out the best equipment for our littoral defense.

Chamsuri class patrol vessels are patrol craft that entered service with the South Korean navy (South Korea) in the 70s. These were built by the Hanjin Industrial SB, Chinhae, and Korea SB & Eng. Masan shipyards.[1]

These boats, also referred to as "PKM", were built in two batches: the 201 series, and the 301 series. Early PKM 201 series boats were initially armed with 1 40-mm Bofors 60-cal Mk.3; 1 twin 30-mm 75-cal Emerlec EX-30; 2 single 20-mm 70-cal. Mk. 10 AA. Late PKM 201 boats were armed with 1 twin 30mm 75-cal Emerlec EX-30 AA; 1 or 2 single 20-mm Vulcan gatling AA; 2 single 12.7-mm machine guns. The PKM 301 boats were armed with 1 40mm 60-cal Bofors AA in a fully enclosed mount; 2 single 20-mm Vulcan gatling AA; 2 single 12.7mm machine guns.[1]

As newer, more capable patrol craft enter South Korean navy service, the Chamsuri class boats are slowly being retired
