• The concept has undergone relatively advanced studies, including model tests in a hull test basin, to integrate digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and robotic platforms.
  • It is designed to meet threats across all domains, including drones, saturation of defences, electronic warfare, cyber attack, and ballistic, hypervelocity, and asymmetric threats.
  • The concept serves as a technology test laboratory rather than a ship to be built as designed, with characteristics drawn from recent operational feedback.
