TRINITY enhances the capabilities of littoral vessels that previously had to operate with basic mission equipment and man-operated machine gun mounts.

TRINITY is based on standard maritime building blocks, combined with dedicated fire control solution(s), allowing the execution of any kind of Anti-Surface Warfare mission in the littoral environment.

The main building blocks of TRINITY are:
» Surveillance sensors, including GPS and AIS information
» Observation sensors, both TV and IR
» Up to 3x Fire Control subsystems, including tracking sensors and, as an option, a pan and tilt system for small calibre (e.g. 12.7mm) guns (considered as GFE)
» Communications (typicaly VHF/UHF radios)
» Command and Control, including navigation support and evidence gathering
