Патрульные корабли типа Falaj 3

The United Arab Emirates Navy will receive four Falaj 3-class OPVs as part of the project. The 60-meter vessels will be based on the Fearless-class patrol boats from ST Engineering. The Falaj 3 features a design that reduces radar cross-section, infrared signature and acoustic signatures to provide a stealthy profile at sea.

According to the company’s brochure, the Falaj 3 OPVs will be powered by 4 high-performance engines that will use 4 propellers to reach speeds of more than 26 knots. The ships will have 4 generators capable of producing 1.2 megawatts of power. The Falaj 3 class vessels will be equipped with an integrated platform management system that will allow all platform systems to be monitored and controlled from a single point. They also feature a wide range of safety and firefighting equipment, as well as a rigid-hull inflatable boat.
