Amphibious Warfare

The Amphibious Warfare configuration is based on an AH140 variant that has been optimised to embrace modularity and allow for quick re-role to other configurations. This variant of the AH140 design is tailored to exclusively deliver amphibious operations. Able to embark a significant number of offboard assets such as surface and air connectors, alongside equipment that includes light vehicles, this is a fundamental reworking of the platform design that also incorporates dedicated onboard land C2 facilities. This variant of AH140 will deliver an amphibious force, together with land mobility enablers, to carry out raiding operations against adversary targets ashore.

  • ROLE SPECIFIC FEATURES

    Six surface connectors, aviation facilities to maintain an AW101 MERLIN sized aircraft and a flight deck sized for CH-47 CHINOOK will support a rapid transfer of troops ashore from a location over the horizon. Vehicle ramps grant the ability to offload land mobility enablers to permit these troops to reach objectives over greater distances from the point of delivery.

Amphibious Warfare

The Amphibious Warfare configuration is based on an AH140 variant that has been optimised to embrace modularity and allow for quick re-role to other configurations. This variant of the AH140 design is tailored to exclusively deliver amphibious operations. Able to embark a significant number of offboard assets such as surface and air connectors, alongside equipment that includes light vehicles, this is a fundamental reworking of the platform design that also incorporates dedicated onboard land C2 facilities. This variant of AH140 will deliver an amphibious force, together with land mobility enablers, to carry out raiding operations against adversary targets ashore.

  • ROLE SPECIFIC FEATURES

    Six surface connectors, aviation facilities to maintain an AW101 MERLIN sized aircraft and a flight deck sized for CH-47 CHINOOK will support a rapid transfer of troops ashore from a location over the horizon. Vehicle ramps grant the ability to offload land mobility enablers to permit these troops to reach objectives over greater distances from the point of delivery.

  • SURVIVABILITY, RECOVERABILITY & STANDARDS

    Driven by compliance with Lloyd’s Register Naval Ship Rules, UK Naval Standards and NATO ANEP-77 Naval Ship Code amongst many other naval standards, the AH140 platform includes levels of survivability, damaged stability and recoverability that exceed those of many contemporary complex Frigate designs. These levels allow AH140 to operate in the threat environment commensurate with combat operations.

  • PROCESSING SYSTEM, C2, SENSORS AND SYSTEMS

    • Can be fitted with an open architecture and scalable Combat Management System, from a range of suppliers.
