Kronos multifunction radar (similar to the one fitted on the corvettes)
a new L-Band radar by Leonardo known as Kronos Power Shield
SAAM-ESD air-defence system
a secondary three dimensional search radar. This could be the same European Multifunction Phased Array Radar (EMPAR) found on the Kalaat Béni Abbès or a different unit.
Similar ECM to the Algerian units
Mounts
1x 76mm Super Rapido
2x 8-cell VLS Sylver A50 for the Aster 30 Block 1
4x 25mm OtoBreda KBA
Sylena MK2 decoy launching systems
Loadout Options
As 2843
Other Changes
The main mission of the vessel will be air defense. It will work in conjunction with the Al Zubarah-class air defense corvettes and share long range air picture with them. Will provide a tactical ballistic missiles defense as similarly offered by the ground-based SAMP/T.
