CORVETTES AND offshore patrol vessels within the Asian region tend to be vessels of between 60 and 100 metres in length with displacements ranging from 450 to 1,850 tonnes. They will usually carry a 76mm gun and will usually have a helicopter landing deck to embark a small (4 tonne take-off weight) helicopter but the great differences are in their roles which define their sensors and sub-systems. The offshore patrol vessel (OPV) has essentially a policing and environmental protection role being designed to patrol national waters protecting domestic exploitation of natural resources such as fishing and hydro-carbons. It must intercept and board vessels which may be involved in criminal actions and to this end it needs only a simple I-band (8-10 GHz) surface search/navigation radar as well as a system for the rapid deployment and recovery of a rigid inflatable boat (RIB). OPVs are also designed to rescue people from danger at sea and also to help defeat environmental pollution by deploying items such as oil-protection booms.
