usually ASM flight to attack 10~15 meter above sea level, due earth is circle most naval radar only can see ASM coming around 70km+- distance，so ESSM can intercept at arange 30~60km. if with searam/ram can add last layer protect at 3~8km. Gowind with vl-mica range only 20km, not much hope to intercept ASM, event enemy helicopter can attack at 2xkm . with ESSM our Gowind is near to perfect liao for 3000 tons LCS.

yes, buy 6, take out ASM, replace with 2 x 30mm MSI seahawk gun, can patrol at Tawau liao.

Is our local shipyard company able to designs and constructs 300~1000 tons Maritime or naval patrol boat ? (parts can be import, like navi, engine, integration bridged, radar, weapon)

Royal Malaysian Navy future Gowind SGPV-LCS program update with Boustead Heavy Industries

http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php?o...sk=view&id=1768

above interview look like Boustead shipyard upgrade also take time and push back the first gowind until 2018. really long time 5 year to wait Gowind ship commission.

about 1 million USD, but look point less for RMN used in sabah, due lack of search radar, only have GPS and naval gun.
better getting turkey Ares 125/140/150 FAMB and TOT to local made, Mindef have good relationship with turkey defense company, should be no problem. it look perfect for RMN used in ESScom.

it should ready by end of this year or max next year.

how about MH-90NFH .... can used for many mission.

NATO FRIGATE HELICOPTER

NFH main missions
The NH90 NFH is the most modern and the best naval helicopter in its class. It has been designed with safety and versatility in mind in order to fulfill the most demanding missions in the harshest weather conditions for the XXIst century.
The NH90 features a redundant fly by wire system, a full composite corrosion free airframe,two powerful engines, a fully integrated weapon system as well as a wide cabin easily reconfigurable.
It can operate from a shore base or a Frigate up to sea state 5.

Search and Rescue.
Maritime Surveillance and Control.
Limited Airborne Early Warning.

NH90 problem already rectify and improved, it going to mutuality after 2013. and more and more order from many country.
if RMN order by time getting also around 2017 by that time MH90 should be effective and efficient

Wildcat will replace super lynx，
i think RMN will buy 6 unit wildcat with ASW for Each Gowind ship.
afcouse MH-90more better， but cost more higher.

seriously thinking, the ship we buy Gowind anti-submarine version is right to as（ country）？ is we really need anti-sub?
is Gowind is "main" ship for next 20 year, should be Anti-Air Warfare version　with powerfull air-defence missile like Aster 15/30 and Herakles radar more right spec for gowind?　
from other military fans said it haven't produce yet already most outdated ship, with most low fire power weapon and high price. just get joking by all asean navy. (not said Meko100) not comparable to Formidable ship.

One more case ....
sure ESSCom kena tembak kao kao

Chinese national feared kidnapped from fish farm by gunmen in Lahad Datu

KOTA KINABALU: A Chinese national is believed to have been kidnapped from a fish farm in Lahad Datu’s Silam, hardly 24-hours after pirates robbed fishermen in waters off Tanjung Labian.

Unofficial reports claimed that gunmen had grabbed the Chinese national identified as Yang Zailin, who is a manager of Wonderful Terrace Sdn Bhd, a company operating a fish farm in the area at about 2.45am on Tuesday.

No further details were available as senior police and Esscom officials were at the scene and conducting follow up operations.

It is believed that the gunmen had fled towards the southern Philippines.

At about 11pm on Sunday, four men in military fatigues robbed a teacher and three of his friends fishing in the waters off Sungai Bilis in Tanjung Labian of their two outboard engines and a pump boat engine.

No one was hurt in the incident and the four were rescued by General Operations Force policemen at about 2am on Monday.

This is the second kidnapping in nearly a month.

On April 2, Chinese tourist Gao Hua Yuan, 29, and a resort worker Marcy Darawan, 40, were snatched from the Singamata Reef Resort in Semporna.

The two are being held by their gunmen demanding ransoms in southern Philippines

how many time Philippine internal conflict at Mindanao and sulu also can't solve, no need put hope on Philippines, also dun't put hope in US if no $$$ benefit.

waiting our A400M ... perfect to carry EC725, AV8, event possible future Tiger

BNS belong to Boustead Holdings Bhd, which is GLC, Angkatan Tabong Angkatan Tentera have majority share.
For defense industry is different from other consumer industry, quantity purchase is low and mostly need customization base one every country requirement, it involved alot top secrete high tech system and equipment which not easy original company make investment in other country, so for small country want to improve/learn they defense industry, local high tech/heavy industry and improve engineer ability usually get TOT(TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY) or IP ( intellectual property) via government defense purchase.
Is not only happened in Malaysia, it happens in a lot country in world via defense purchase. you can study military weapon purchase example like Indonesia and Thailand, there buy mostly got some TOT and IP. also can see India make assembly line for su-30mki.
Other big example is Algeria purchase 2 unit (include option 2 unit) Blohm + Voss Meko 200 frigate with huge price usd 2.8 billion, shock in the contract include built a brand new shipyard in Algeria port to future own built other 2 option meko 200, the shipyard also used to maintenance of Meko 200, so it benefit Algeria shipping industry with infrastructure of shipyard.

Gumdoksuri class good for patrol that area, and cheap too.
for latest development, the kidnap chinese fish farm manager 2 week ago, Esscom said kidnapper using 200hp high power outboard engine at there boat, now we see if 15 feet or less small boot using 200hp outboard engine, it can reach 40~45 knots, that speed on par or faster than our cb90( max speed 40 knot), so that is one reason kidnapper can escape our boot Pursuit. some more Philippine boarder only 20km+-, so left 15 min+- for as to intercept/pursuit.

so i think ESScom also need interceptor can speed reach more than 45 knot, best if Esscom can get few 50~60 knot intercepter boot.

now mostly using Water-jet Engine for high speed boot/interceptor.

actually this type more like assault ship( send speciall force/army to mission via sea) , not really suit for patrol at sea
and only 35 knot ....
