2026 RETROFIT-ROUSSEN CLASS FOR H.N.
The Roussen-class vessels were part of Hellenic Navy’s millennium modernization planning for new Fast Attack Missile Craft (FACM). They were built by Elefsis Shipyards based on Vosper-Thorneycroft original designs, with improvements and customizations specified by the HN. The current fleet comprises of 7 FACM, successively commissioned between 2005 to 2022 with a steel hull of 62 meters length, beam of 9,5 meters and displacement of 668 GT. Their quad diesel engine propulsion system allows a top speed of 36 knots with a range of 2,250 nm at a cruising speed of 18 knots.
The integrated multifunction displays used in these refits allow for a standardized solution with flexible system architecture. This can be scaled across larger or smaller vessels and adapted to mission specific requirements. Fast-update pulse compression SST are used for target detecting, ranging and monitoring. Their real-time radar image, combined with maps and information from other sensors creates a unified and coherent picture which is enhancing situational awareness. While the systems’ intuitive HMI is customizable to specific operational requirements aiding dynamic decision making.
Aegean Electronics completed engineering survey, installation, integration with existing sensors and commissioning services for integrated multifunctional workstations.
