Are our ATR's going to be like this ? I thought they were sent for this ?

Similar but maritime only

 

[Tank131]

3 ATR will be refit for ASW role. Rather than going for more ATR though PN should move towards Y-8GX6 which will be able to deploy more Torpedoes a d sonobouys as well as be able to fire AShM like C802A.

Similar but maritime only

The PN ATR-72 are ASW capable.

"And an exciting one. The airplanes are mainly equipped with state-of-the-art satellite technology to detect submarines. In serious cases, however, they are also to be expelled. Both aircraft have a torpedo launch station. For these very special technical challenges, the Gladbachers cooperate with a company from Braunschweig."

Just a question;
What type of fighters jets are usually better for naval uses.
1) single engine lightweight aircraft like the JF-17.
2) Twin engine medium weight like Rafale.
3) Twin engine heavyweight like SU-30/35.
Plus also tell whether the airframe requires more composites or alloys for uses over the seas.

Twin Engine fighter is much better in Naval War zones.
For Pakistan J11 D could good choice due to availability and affordability.

Hi,

Twin engine heavy aircraft are a must for naval missions. Rafale---if you have an aircraft carrier---is excellent---otherwise---you need a air superiority aircraft and a deep strike aircraft---.

SU35 would do fine.

Composites may do better than alloys over the ocean.

China's CSOC showcases a new 4,000-tonne frigate

Michele Capeleto, Langkawi - IHS Jane's Navy International

Chinese state-owned shipbuilder China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company (CSOC) revealed technical specifications of a new frigate design it is showcasing at the LIMA 2017 exhibition in Langkawi.

In an interview with Jane's, a CSOC engineer disclosed that the "new ship is a derivative of the Jiangkai II class of frigates, but features a renewed superstructure".

According to specifications confirmed by the company, the vessel is slightly larger than the Jiangkai II, featuring an overall length of 135 m, a beam of 16 m, a draught of 4.4 m, and a displacement of around 3,850 tonne.

The platform is powered by four sets of 16PA6STC engines in a CODAD configuration, driving two propeller shafts for a top speed of up to 26 kt. It has an endurance of 21 days, and standard range of 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed of 18 kt.

Where the innovation stands, however, is in the armament suite and sensors. Weapons aboard comprise a single-barrel 76 mm main naval guns, topped up by two six-barrel Type 730A 30 mm guns for short-range self defence.

"Unlike in other versions [of frigates displayed by CSOC at defence shows], the two 30 mm guns are no longer mounted on the main bridge, but rather amid-ship, closer to the [24-cells] surface-to-air missile [SAM] launcher."

The ship's foredeck still hosts a 32-cell vertical launching system (VLS) firing the HHQ-16 (40 km of range), and there are two quadruple launchers of the C-802 surface-to-surface missile (SSM) mounted amid-ship.

Commenting on the sensors, the engineer added that "the above-water sensor suite will include a phased-array radar mounted in an integrated mast. The ship will also mount an over the horizon [OTH] radar comparable to the [active/passive] SLR66".

The frigate's anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities will be provided by a hull-mounted sonar and torpedo tubes.

Since we are talking future, this frigate need to be modified with

1 - 16 VLS SSM supersonic like CX-1 etc,
2 - have 2 helicopter instead of one

with these mods, i think PN can safely go for it. start with 4 plus an option for 4 [to be produced locally] . to serve longer term interests.

This is the Tiger Class that was displayed earlier and is structurally similar if not identical to the "type 057" designs floating around. There are some renderings that show a 48 cell in vls in front and an 16 cells behind the stacks (between the 2 ciws). Would be an ideal Command ship for PN.
