The boat armament complex was specially designed to meet the requirements of its use in territorial waters. The customer’s requirements to reduce the number of the boat’s crew were also met.

Thanks to modern means of communication and complexes of sensors mounted on a boat, the Skjeld-type boats can be widely used both in international maritime operations and as part of the NATO Navy.

The boat is designed to combat ship formations, the defense of convoys and amphibious forces at sea crossings from surface ship attacks, patrols in a given area, as well as to perform other tasks in coastal waters.

The Skjeld program is implemented by a consortium of DCNS and two Norwegian contractors (the shipyard Umoe Mandal and the company Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace), with the French shipbuilding concern responsible for designing the combat system of the boat and acting as a subcontractor.

Skjeld boats are designed to replace outdated Hawk boats, considered the fastest ships in the world, with the ability to reach speeds up to 60 knots (112 km / h). The vessel has a length of 46,79 m, width - 13,5 m, full displacement - 260 t, draft - 2,25 m (0,8 m hovercraft), crew - 15 people.

The boat has a shock anti-ship complex as part of the 8 RCC NSM of the medium range of a new generation developed by Kensberg. Missiles are placed in two four-pipe PU in the tail part of the cabin. In the bow of the boat there is one 76-mm rapid-fire artillery installation of the company OTO Melara Super Rapid with a barrel length 62 klbr. Firing range - 12 km.

The boats are equipped with the "Senit 2000" (SENIT 2000) combat information management system (BIU). Recently, the Norwegian Ministry of Defense Procurement Administration issued an additional contract to DCNS for technical support of the CENIT 2000 CMS on the Sjeld project boats.



In total, 6 boats will be built as part of the Skjeld-type boat construction program. The first boat of this project P961 Storm (P961-Storm) was handed over to the customer 9 September 2010, the second one - P962 Scudd (P962-Skudd) 28 October 2010, the third - P963 Stiyl (P963-Steil) in June 2011 and the fourth - P964 "The Gnist" (P964-Gnist) in March 2012

The Skjold program is a continuation of DCNS’s long-standing cooperation with Norwegian companies. In particular, from 1997 to 2004. DCNS participated as the lead contractor in the modernization of 14 Hawk-class combat boats of the Norwegian Navy.

      Yes, for our fleet has long been built. It is a pity they did not go into the series. Now both are part of the Black Sea Fleet.

        Samum is certainly a good ship, but its speed is 50+, And it has a slightly different profile. And we have "Harpoon" Nothing worse. Only he was also not allowed into the series.

          ... and he is a little different profile. ...

          What other profile? "Skjeld" aka KVP skeg type like "Sarych".



          And because of what "Harpoon" did not go into the series?

            Due to the fact that Agat was not in our favor, Pinocchio was and chose the budget project 12200 "Sobol". And as for the skeld, you are right, I read about it in more detail, only ours will be more modest.

              Skjeld boats are designed to replace obsolete Hawk boats, considered the fastest ships in the worldWith the ability to reach speeds of up to 60 knots (112 km / h)

              Destriero has a hull length of 67 m, a width of 13 m, a displacement of 400 tons, a power plant capacity of 60000 hp, and was built at the legendary Fincantieri shipyard in 1991. The vessel was originally equipped with three gas turbines of the GE Aviation LM1600 type, which provided it with a maximum speed of 68,4 knots.

    Yeah. The handsome man and the weapons are even too impressive for a patrol boat, too much to fight against poachers, and the speed is impressive.
    I hope no one has any doubts what kind of enemy do the "friends" of the Norwegians have in mind? I would like our fleet to have the means adequate to these "wasps"

      I agree. A salvo of 8 PKR will send any ship up to 10000 tons to the bottom.
