The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has given further details of the proposed service life extension programme (SLEP) for its Laksamana (ASSAD)-class corvettes.
Other components of the SLEP include replacing the ships' active search and navigation radar, heavy machine guns, combat management system, electronic support measures and integrated bridge and platform management systems. Also being considered for upgrade are the vessels' 105 mm chaff launchers and identification friend-or-foe interrogator. (IHS Janes)
