Weyr
20-07-2004, 18:49
This program has been officially scrapped.
------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the new High Guard, Weyr will also be reorganizing the Coast Guard, which provides search and rescue operations as well as defense for up to 50 kilometers from Weyrean shores.
The new subsection will be known as the Coast Guard, and will be similar in concept to the High Guard. It will carry no force projection capabilities, and its operations will be generally restricted to Weyrean waters.
The cost for the new ships is included in the $800billion overall upgrade package of the armed forces. Additional funding is to be provided through the sale of old equipment, much of which ahs already been sold to private companies.
The time fort he project to be completed is approximately fifteen years.

The Shield is a missile patrol boat. It is characterized by its speed, reduced signatures, small size with heavy weapon load and its littoral combat capability. The Shield has an air-cushioned catamaran hull (surface effect) which, with waterjet propulsion, provides high speed and manoeuvrability.
Storm class
Type: anti-submarine warfare frigate
Crew: 110
Total accommodation capacity: 146
Armament
Missile: 12x Skipper-2 Anti-ship
Guidance: inertial navigation/GPS/radar/infrared
Warhead: 125kg multi-purpose
Range: 170km
Missile: 32x Trebuchet anti-missile
Torpedo: 2mag Seadragon
Gun: EM-HRC6 80mm
Rate: 160rpm
Range: 19km
ASW sensors
CAPTAS Mk 2 V1 Combined Active/Passive Towed Array Sonar
Spherion MRS 2OOO hull-mounted sonar providing
Countermeasures

MASS decoy systems
Infrared, radar and acoustic decoys.
Dimensions
Displacement fully loaded: 5,121t
Overall length: 132m
Length at waterline: 121.39m
Maximum height above waterline: 30m
Maximum beam: 16.8m
Beam at waterline: 15.9m
Depth to main deck: 9.5m
Draught: 4.9m
Payload: 450t
Performance
Maximum speed: 27 knots
Maximum cruise speed: 16 knots
Range at cruise speed: 4,500nm
The main mission of the Storm frigate is anti-submarine warfare and the ship is equipped to detect, identify, track, engage and attack hostile submarines. The ship is also equipped for anti-air warfare and anti-surface warfare roles and can carry out non-combatant tasks in peacetime. The ship houses a medical facility.
Sword
Type: multi-purpose destroyer
Crew: 90
Full load displacement: Around 12,000t
Sustained speed: Around 30 knots
Propulsion
All-electric drive with integrated power system, (IPS)
Gas turbines
Two fixed pitch propellers

Helicopters: 2
Radar Systems
Multifunction radar (MFR): SPY-3 X-band active phased-array
Volume search radar (VSR): L-band
Sonar: Dual (high frequency/medium frequency) frequency bow array and multi-function towed array
The Sword is expected to replace all current large craft, and to provide a multi-mission defensive platform.
