• Each ship spans 163 metres in length and 17.4 metres in beam and displaces 7300 tonnes
• Ship will be propelled by four gas turbines to achieve speeds in excess of 30 knots
• P15B destroyers incorporate new design concepts for stealth, sea keeping, improved survivability and ship manoeuvrability
• Shore, sea and air targets can be tracked by the ship
• These ships can truly be classified as possessing a Network of Networks, as they are equipped with Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS), Ship Data Network (SDN), Automatic Power Management System (APMS) and Combat Management System (CMS).
• While control and monitoring of machinery and auxiliaries is achieved through the IPMS, power management is done using the APMS.
• The CMS performs threat evaluation and resource allocation based on the tactical picture compiled and ammunition available onboard. The SDN is the information highway on which data from all the sensors and weapons ride.
• The ship’s “fire power” consists of sophisticated weapons-sensor suite including vertically launched Surface to Air Missiles (SAM) and Surface-to-Surface Missiles (SSM) for long distance engagement of shore and sea based targets.
