ARES Shipyard, has revealed a new generation interceptor solution which will dramatically changethe perceptions of interception in the naval operations theatre.
The new 32-meter interceptors have over 45 knots of speed and very high maneuvering capabilities for fast interception and hit & run missions up to Sea State-6 conditions. With a rangeof 2.000 nautical miles, the vessels have an operational coverage of more than Exclusive EconomicZones, challenging the existing fast attack craft solutions in the inventories of navies and coastalsecurity institutions.
ARES 32 interceptors have been developed in two variants with identical designs according to thepayloads onboard.
ARES 32 PREDATOR is configured with ROKETSAN’s new generation, two single-canister CAKIRcruise missiles with an effective range of over 150 km, in addition to quad-cell shorter range L-UMTAS laser guided missiles, where the DAGGER variant is equipped with two quad cellinfrared/laser guided missiles for relatively shorter-range targets.
Both ARES 32 PREDATOR & DAGGER variants have 25 mm or 30 mm remote controlled autostabilized naval weapon systems on the fore deck for closer range sea or land targets.
Furthermore, two 12.7 mm machine guns are located on the upper deck for asymmetric threatssuch as pirates, smugglers or illegal human traffickers.
ARES 32 PREDATOR & DAGGER craft have the latest technology combat management systems, Xand S-Band radars, electro-optic surveillance and designation systems and a RHIB with a ramp onthe aft deck for boarding and SAR missions. Thanks to the state-of-the-art design solution ofARES, the vessels have very low RCS and infrared signature as a self-defense figure by nature.
ARES Shipyard’s CEO Utku Alanç, made a statement about the new product release as follows: “We have developed ARES 32 PREDATOR and DAGGER in response to two solid and seriousinquiries from Middle East and Africa where the end users are confidential at the moment. Thanksto our immense experience in fast & robust naval solutions, ARES 32 interceptors are soon goingto be the new game changers in naval operations theatre. With these new generation interceptors,we will change the perceptions of interception, challenging the existing fast attack craft solutionsin collaboration with the Turkish missile manufacturer ROKETSAN.”
