Overview
- The MRCV is conceived as a mothership to deploy and control unmanned air, surface and underwater systems to expand the RSN’s operational reach.
- The design includes a mission bay for eight containerised modules that enable rapid reconfiguration for roles such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
- Advanced sensors and weapons on the class include a Strales 76mm guided gun, ASTER surface-to-air missiles and a DSTA-developed combat management system.
- An electrified propulsion system capable of about 30 MW and extensive automation support a pioneer crew baseline of fewer than 100 sailors.
- After its launch at ST Engineering’s Benoi Shipyard, Victory moves to Gul Yard for outfitting, integration and sea trials before a six-ship fleet replaces missile corvettes from 2028 with legacy names retained.
