HSI32 Interceptor The HSI32 is designed to meet the needs of modern Navies and Coast Guards. The HSI32 is a fast interceptor which combines significant intelligence and surveillance capacities with high speed (45 knots) and extended patrol period of 3 days. CMN has sought to develop a versatile interceptor, efficient and easy to use for conducting anti-piracy, anti-terrorism, or control of illicit trafficking missions. The HSI32 has a range of 800 nautical miles (approximately) with a crew of only 12 sailors. This new advanced interceptor comes with a RHIB launching ramp at the stern and a 360° bridge. The HSI32 is fitted with self-defense capabilities including a 20 mm remote weapon system plus two 12.7 mm machine guns with a field of 360° coverage. In terms of electronic warfare, the HSI32 comes with advanced detection and surveillance sensors: » C-ESM » Electro-optical sensors » Surveillance radar » Navigation radar » Satcom datalink for image, video and tactical data upload and download All sensors are fused and integrated with the Combat Management System and the Integrated Navigation System. |

OCEAN
EAGLE 43 Meanwhile, the first of three trimaran patrol vessel (ordered as part of the contract signed in September 2013) has just been launched by the French Shipyard. The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is a revolutionary concept with exceptional performance designed to meet the needs of maritime surveillance and security. The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is the result of a fruitful collaboration between CMN, naval architect Nigel Irens, ProLarge and SeaTeam Aviation companies, two small businesses specialized in logistics and operational projects at sea. The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is a compact high-performance multifunction vessel that is suited to protect coastal areas, strategic offshore infrastructures. It can also conduct electronic warfare and intelligence missions through the use of 300 Kg class VTOL UAV (such as the SCHIEBEL S100 Camcopter). The OCEAN EAGLE 43 offers an unmatched cost to performance ratio: » 3,000 nautical miles autonomy at 20 knots » Top speed of 30 knots sustainable over a distance of 1,000 nautical miles » Limited crew of 7 sailors » Accomodations for 8 additional Special Forces At Euronaval 2014, CMN unveiled a mine warfare variant of the Ocean Eagle.
