The advanced composite ONUK MRTP®33 Fast Patrol / Attack Craft is the extended and improved version of the 90 tonne ONUK MRTP®29 ("KAAN 29” Class) of the Turkish Coast Guard. ONUK MRTP®33 is developed as a versatile multi role platform for the increasingly tough requirements of the naval and law enforcement forces to control the littoral and the coastal waters.
Internally, the advanced machinery systems and arrangement result in a vessel with greatly enhanced operability, maintainability and accommodation standards.
PRIMARY ROLES
Mastery of the littoral can not be presumed. It does
not derive directly from command of the high seas. It is an objective
which requires our focused skills and resources. ONUK MRTP®33 "Fast
Patrol / Attack Craft” has been designed for this purpose, capable of
carrying out a wide range of littoral and coastal water law enforcement-naval
duties and open sea rescue, including:
Patrol / Escort / Fast attack
Search and rescue
Anti smuggling
Pollution control
Anti terrorist protection of the coastal and offshore installations
Surveillance / Covert surveillance
Seal insertion-extraction
BACKGROUND:
As of January 2004, 9 units of the "KAAN 29" Class boats (31,70m,
45+ knots) under DNV classification (HSLC Patrol R2) are operational.
Boat number 10 of 90 tonne was constructed as the first ONUK MRTP®33 (35,60m,
120 tonne, 47+ knots) as continuation of the project others are under
construction at the shipyard.
The new member of the MRTP® (Multi Role Tactical Platform) family of boats, a concept created and developed by Kaan N.Z. Onuk; has improved sea keeping, highly stealthy characteristics, and is able to carry larger mission equipment/payload such as combined 30mm gun and short range SSM stabilized launcher, surface-to-surface medium range F&F fiber guided missiles, EO fire control systems and decoys.
PERFORMANCE:
Speed and seakeeping:
The ONUK MRTP®33 has been developed for a tough professional use with
excellent performance qualities at both low and high speeds and strong
emphasis on seakeeping. The ONUK OE-01 deep V hull, depending on engine
selection and boat configuration, will enable the boat to reach speeds
up to 64 knots in calm waters and up to 40 knots in Sea State 4. ONUK
MRTP®33 has a soft and dry ride in adverse conditions, offering, thus,
an outstanding platform for the various tasks in the brown waters and
the open sea.
The MJP water jet drive system provides extreme maneuverability with high precision control and a very shallow draught, enhancing the operation in confined waters or intercepting/boarding larger ships in rough seas.
Stability: Intact-Damaged:
Commercial and Turkish / NATO naval standards have been applied to the
ONUK MRTP®33 for the intact and damaged stability. ONUK MRTP®33 meets
the DNV standards as well as Turkish Navy and NATO criteria for damaged
stability and will remain afloat and upright with flooding in any single
main compartment.
CONSTRUCTION AND COMPONENTS:
ONUK MRTP®33 is built in advanced composites to satisfy the very tough
requirements of an intensive professional use together with a long service
life. The benefits of the advanced composite structure are:
WEIGHT REDUCTION
* Improved Performance
* Increased Payload
* Fuel Savings
CORROSION RESISTANCE
*Longer service life
* Maintenance savings
IMPROVED
* Threat avoidance/detection
* Ballistic protection
REDUCED SIGNATURES
* Machinery vibration/acoustic
* Magnetic signature
* Heat signature
The hull and superstructure are constructed to Det Norske Veritas (DNV) HSLC Patrol R2 classification. All boats of the series are delivered with the relevant DNV Certificates.
The helm station and the interiors have been designed in line with the SAE recommendations for ergonomics to provide the crew with maximum comfort and minimum fatigue in prolonged use in heavy seas.
Machinery and propulsion
The CODAG high-speed propulsion system consists of two MTU 16V2000M90
diesels and a Honeywell TF50 gas turbine; all driving through MJP water
jets. The diesels will allow 28 knots patrol speed, while the gas turbine
will enable the boat to reach it's maximum speed. CODOG and all diesel
propulsion systems are available on request. Depending on the mission
and speed requirements, the ONUK MRTP®33 can be equipped with different
components for optimum operational efficiency/price ratio.
The mechanical components are selected with the intensive professional use in mind. They offer a high level of reliability, despite the extreme performance requirements.
MISSION MODULES
ONUK MRTP®33 can be equipped with various mission modules depending on
the customer requirements. Despite the size of the platform, these modules
have been integrated with the modularity and reconfigurability objectives
in mind. Thus, the platform can be reconfigured with different mission
modules, increasing dramatically the operational flexibility and reducing
the costs. The mission modules would be:
Multi weapon mounts.
- Stabilized naval turret with up to 30 mm. gun
(+ short range SSM).
- Medium range SSM (Total weights up to 5 tons).
- Short range SAM.
- 2 x 12.7 mm. heavy MG.
Multi sensor surveillance unit
(EOD with capabilty of controlling the main gun).
Search and rescue equipment
Decoys
SOF (Special Operation Forces) support/SDV (Seal Delivery Vehicle)
