There are no information for ship launched ASM-3, but it might be in the plan. There is information for super-sonic CM but it is different development. Also ASM-3ER for extend range to 400km is still in development, current ASM-3 has around 200km range. And because of PLAN's Navy power got stronger,the budget for production of ASM-3 is cancelled. The program for ASM-3ER will start 2020. So we don't have to worry adding ASM-3 to DB for next few years.

More specifically, the infrared seeker will use a matrix sensor providing greater sensitivity. Meanwhile the radio frequency seeker will use an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Antenna), enabling smart detection strategies. The reduced volume of electronic components within MICA NG will allow it to carry a larger quantity of propellant, thereby significantly extending the range of the missile. Utilising a new double-pulse rocket motor will also provide additional energy to the missile at the end of its flight to improve manoeuvrability and the ability to intercept targets at long range.

The firing facilities of the 8 anti-ship missiles, now the Exocet MM40 Block2, will be modified for the implementation of Exocet Block3/Block3c. The Crotale system with its 8 missiles in battery and 16 in cargo hold will be landed and replaced by two Sadral with 6 Mistral missiles each. These systems will come from the former anti-submarine frigates Dupleix, Montcalm and Jean de Vienne, which were retired in 2014, 2017 and 2018. Upgraded, the Sadral will implement the latest version of the Mistral, with an improved self-director to increase anti-missile capability and also to address asymmetric threats, including surface targets such as fast boats. The renovated FLFs will also be equipped with the new KingKlip Mk2 hull sonar, which will give them an anti-submarine warfare capability that these vessels have hitherto lacked (only the Surcouf is equipped on an experimental basis with a BlueWatcher hull sonar since 2017).

JAGM’s first increment incorporates a dual mode guidance section capable of Precision Point targeting using a Semi Active Laser (SAL)
sensor, Fire and Forget targeting using Millimeter Wave (MMW) radar, and a targeting capability that leverages both radar and laser targeting
capabilities for maximum operational flexibility. JAGM leverages the fielded and combat proven HELLFIRE II Romeo (AGM-114R) propulsion, warhead, and control sections. The JAGM system will be compatible with all Joint Rotary Wing and Unmanned Aerial Systems that are
compatible with the HELLFIRE II missile. JAGM Increment 1 will have an 8 km range, be 70 inches in length, and have a weight of 115 lbs.
JAGM Increment 2 adds increased range and terminal aim point targeting, as well as passive lock-on-after-launch capability. JAGM Increment
3 adds passive lock-on-before-launch targeting capability and increases to a 16km range.

The Mark-IV Class LCU is powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M53 marine diesel engines coupled to a twin-propeller fixed-pitch propulsion system.
The propulsion system enables the LCU to attain a maximum speed of 15kt and a range of more than 1,500nmi.

#3357 - RIM-174A-2 ERAM SM-6MR Blk IA [Dual I]

Only the SM-6 Dual I introduces a capability to intercept ballistic missiles in the terminal phase of their trajectory while retaining its ability to counter cruise missiles and other air breathing threats, hence the designation SM-6 Dual I. "SM-6 Dual I capability is being added to provide Sea-Based Terminal capability against short-range ballistic missiles." (4) In some documents, of all the SM-6 variants present, only the Dual I is listed as an Aegis BMD interceptor. (2)(4) On another note, the SM-6 Block IA and the SM-6 Dual I are not the same missile as depicted in the game. More on that below.

Name:

#3357 - RIM-174A-2 ERAM SM-6MR Blk IA [Dual I] --> RIM-174A ERAM SM-6 Dual I (Remove Anti-Ship, ABM from side note. Add Anti-ASBM to side note)

Sensors / EW:

- Remove Surface Search ability from Active Radar Seeker

Valid Targets:

- Remove Surface Ships


-----------------------------------------------

Request: RIM-174A ERAM SM-6 Blk IA

The Block IA builds on the technology of the Block I and according to this (5) source also on the Dual I and adds GPS targeting to the missile to engage surface targets.

Date:

- IOC projected 2018 (5)

Sensors / EW:

- Add Surface Search ability to Active Radar Seeker

Properties:

- Add Weapon - INS w/ GPS Navigation (5)

Valid Targets:

- Surface Ships

Took me some time to put this together, hopefully it'll make it. Thanks and Goodnight!

Updated DB version of Chinese Z-9C

Could you add a new version that comes with a light ASuW loadout? Following the first PLAN anti-piracy deployments in 2008 and 2009, a clouple of naval Z-9s were modified to allow the aircraft to carry one 19x57mm rocket pod plus a PC-1AY 12,7mm Gun Pod. Other visible changes include the relocation of the FLIR turret. Since then, it seems like a larger batch of Z-9Cs has been converted to this standard.

I tried to pinpoint an In-service date for this version, without success. The best I could come up with is that the earliest appearance of this version dates back to 3. March 2010 with the deployment of the 5th Chinese Naval Escort Flotilla to the Gulf of Aden. All previous Escort Flotillas, excluding the 4th, are known to have deployed with the Ka-27 or later the common Z-9 version.

Hope this is worth an add. Thanks in advance!

The LST type has an overall length of 120 m, beam of 18 m, and a hull draught of 3 m. Powered by two 8,810-hp diesel engines, the vessel has a top speed of 16 kt and a standard range of 7,200 n miles (16,300 km) at 12 kt.

The LST can be equipped with up to two 40 mm naval gun systems on its foredeck and 12.7 mm machine guns at various locations throughout the vessel. It can carry and launch up to 15 BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles via a roll-on/roll-off ramp at its bow, and deploy 10-tonne helicopter from its flight deck. The BMP-3Fs are currently operated by the Indonesian Marine Corps.

The Nagapasa class has an overall length of 61.2 m, an overall beam of 6.25 m, and a hull draught of 5.5 m. It is powered by four MTU 12V 493 diesel generators, and has a contracted top speed of 21.5 kt when dived, and 11 kt when surfaced.

quote:

As Jane’s reported, the Nagapasa class is equipped with the Wärtsilä ELAC KaleidoScope suite of sensors, which consists of a cylindrical array sonar (CAS), a flank array sonar (FAS), an acoustic intercept sonar (AIS), and a mine avoidance sonar (MAS).

Evolved from the German Type 209/1200 design originally licensed to DSME in the late 1980s, the Nagapasa-class boats are built to the modified DSME 1400 design. Key features include a Kongsberg MSI-90U Mk 2 command and weapon control system, the Wärtsilä ELAC KaleidoScope sonar suite (consisting of a cylindrical array, a flank array, an acoustic intercept sonar and a mine avoidance sonar), a combination of Hensoldt Sero 400 + OMS 100 periscope and non-hull penetrating optronic mast systems, and a Safran navigation system (incorporating two Sigma 40XP laser gyro inertial reference units, a computer, and safety-critical navigation software).
