MRTP-33 Fast Attack Boats

[Babur Han]

On MRTP-33 Vessels is not enough Place for Fire Control Radar or other Target Iluminating Equipment to Track Targets for Harpoons, but with Datalink MRTP-33 is able to launch Harpoons on enemy Ships.

On MRTP-33 Vessels is not enough Place for Fire Control Radar or other Target Iluminating Equipment to Track Targets for Harpoons, but with Datalink MRTP-33 is able to launch Harpoons on enemy Ships.

Harpoon (and similar missiles which employ radar altimeter and Global Positioning System [GPS] assisted inertial navigation, in combination with active radar terminal homing guidance) requires neither a fire control radar or target illuminating.

The MRTP-33 can program Harpoons using data from its own mast mounted navigation/surface search radar (e.g. the Decca TM 1226, which is in service in TN and also used in conjunction with e.g. the Norwegian Penguin missile) and/or data received by datalink from e.g. radar equipped Maritime Patrol Aircraft and Naval helicopters or coastal radar stations.

I know MRTP can programm Harpoons by recieving data on Datalink and I know also that MRTP have a Navigation/Surface Search Radar but I doubt the Rada can detect Targets within the Maximum Range of Harpoons. When MRTP is using Penguins I see now Problem in this Matter.

The MRTP-33s own radar will have a range that is likely less than the max operational range of the Harpoon missile, but this is where the external target data come in. Essentially, using external targeting information allows the ships to engage other ships at distance without having to give away their own position by radiating. On board EW/ESM gear may also assist passive targeting.

I'd say don't underestimate Harpoon armed MRTP's in a battle area. C4I is replacing the standalone. It is no longer needed to have the own search radar on board when also AEW aircrafts above scan the area.

I doubt that a Decca 1226 is of much use with the Harpoon missile, Decca range is less than 50km as far as I know.

 

[TOPGUN]

Is there any more plans on inducting more of these?

 

[Penguin]

I doubt that a Decca 1226 is of much use with the Harpoon missile, Decca range is less than 50km as far as I know.

I.e. within 50km the MRTP-33 can target independently, beyond that it will need external target data via datalink in order to use Harpoon effectively. Maximum range for RGM/UGM-84D Harpoon surface launches is around 140 km (75 nm).

A Screenshot from "Google Eart", were two PN MRTP-33 staying in Harbour at Karachi Naval Base.

This month, Yonca Onuk will begin integration of Chinese C-705 anti-ship Missile onboard Pakistani MRTP-33.

Great news...

According to informations revealed from Onuk shipyard, Anti-shipping missiles mounted on MRTP-33 would be launched against a target locked by another naval surface units carrying sensors/radars such as MRTP-22, Milgem and others frigates/destroyers/FAC's under the network centric war environment.

 

[Areesh]

Ah what is the operational range of C-705 missile?

Ah what is the operational range of C-705 missile?

The C-705 air-launched anti-ship missile is the latest variant of the C-701 series, featuring a maximum range of 75km without the rocket-booster, or 170km when fitted with a rocket –booster. Using a GPS/inertial seeker, the missile carries a 110kg warhead and flies at an attitude of 12.15m above the sea level. The missile is designed to sink a small surface combatant of 1,000~1,500t displacement.
