Designed
and built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for the Royal
Netherlands Navy, the Ocean-going Patrol Vessels (or Offshore
Patrol Vessel - OPV) are flexible in their deployment and
equipped for the surveillance of coastal waters. The ships
are able to monitor a wide area (in excess of 100 nautical
miles) using a Thales Integrated Sensor and Communication
Systems (ISCS) or "IMAST 400".
