The naval group showed the concept of a new generation SCX26 destroyer, which combines powerful missile weapons, reduced visibility and an emphasis on the massive use of UAVs.
The ship is 170 m long, has a displacement of about 8,000 tons, a speed of up to 56 km/h and is able to travel up to 14,800 km. Its unique feature is two superstructures distant from each other, between which radars and control systems are located.
Hit potential - up to 96 missiles in vertical silos, including Aster 30 anti-aircraft and MdCN cruise missiles. For close defense, a 57 mm gun, an electromagnetic cannon, a 100 kW laser and two Rampart mounts are offered.
The main feature is a spacious hangar for air, surface and underwater UAVs with workshops for maintenance, repair and 3D printing of parts. The devices are raised to the deck in an elevator, and the deck itself is suitable for NH90 helicopters and vertical takeoff UAVs. Some of the tasks for controlling the UAVs should be taken over by AI.
The staff is about 150 people, plus room for 100 more.
