AD VER TORIAL SEVERNOYE DB’s
BASE PLATFORM FOR PATROL SHIPS OF NEW GENERATION
Under international coop-
eration provisions the Severnoye Design Bureau JSC offers Project 22160 patrol ship belonging to the OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessel). It has high upgrading potential achiev- able thanks to the realisation of a new principle of ship’s weapon systems arrangement: the ship is considered a baseline “platform” in which the composition of weap- ons and equipment - both combat and non-combat, can widely vary depending on customer’s requests. Project 22160 has capitalised on
experience gained in operations of both the Russian Coast Guards and foreign navies. The purpose of this project was to design a vessel with reasonable production and opera- tional costs, which would make a highly effective, sea-going multi- purpose ship capable of perform- ing a wide range of missions to be carried out within state borders and exclusive economic zones, such as
border defence, fighting piracy and environmental protection. The ship is armed with one 57-
mm (or 76-mm) Russian/foreign- made automatic gun, an anti-sabo- teur aids with a dipping sonar and two automatic grenade launchers, two 14.5-mm machine guns on pedestal mounts, Igla type por- table air defence system. It is also fitted with two high-speed (up to 65 km/h) high-seaworthiness (sea state of up to 3-4) rigid inflatable boats capable of carrying up to 10 persons each, and aid equipment for treating casualties of natural di- sasters and accidents. The ship can accommodate
one helicopter weighting up to 12 tonnes and/or four UAVs to extend the range of missions performed. The UAVs can be permanently based using a 12x12-m helo-deck, a stationary hangar, 40-tonne avia- tion fuel storage and a helicopter handling gear. The ship-based avi-
ation system can be effectively op- erated day and night in sea state of up to 4 inclusively. The ship is powered by a diesel
or a combined diesel-turbine pro- pulsion plant (the choice depends on requirements for full and patrol speeds) with joint operation of all engines at full speed and the pos- sibility to engage electric motors/ shaft generators at low and patrol speeds. Modern long-endurance diesel engines possess high fuel efficiency at patrol and cruising speeds (up to 18 knots inclusively during 70-75% of the total op- eration time) and employment of electrical motors helps to save die- sel engines’ life in disadvantageous modes of sustained motion at low and very low speeds (3-10 knots). At the same time the ship powered by the diesel engine can gain the full speed of up to 30 knots. The main machinery is configured to provide alternate or joint opera-
