Philippine Navy OPV

Region

Australian shipbuilder Austal presented its proposed design for the Philippine Navy's OPV requirement at Pacific 2019, offering an affordable steel-hull variant with an aluminium superstructure. The design was developed specifically to address the PN's patrol requirements in the contested South China Sea. The combination of a steel hull for structural resilience and an aluminium superstructure for weight reduction reflects Austal's approach to balancing cost, performance, and operational suitability for the
Philippine Navy's operating environment.
