General Data

PERFORMANCE

Speed and seakeeping:

Depending on engine/configuration selection, the proven ONUK KO-02 deep V hull will enable the boat to reach speeds up to 64 knots in calm waters and above 50 knots in Sea State 3, allowing rapid reaction comparable to a helicopter, and can be used in confined spots or heavy weathers not suitable for helicopter operations.
The seakeeping capabilities of the ONUK MRTP15, used intensively by the Turkish Coast Guard since 1997, are well proven in operation. ONUK MRTP15 has a soft and dry ride in adverse conditions. The steerable Twin Disc Arneson Surface Drive system provides extreme maneuverability and a very shallow draught, enhancing the operation in confined waters. ONUK MRTP15 is one of the fastest known platforms of this size with a mission payload capability in the range of 1,5 tons.

Stability: Intact-Damaged:

Turkish and NATO naval standards have been applied to the ONUK MRTP15 for the intact and damaged stability. ONUK MRTP15 meets the Turkish Navy and NATO criteria for damaged stability and will remain afloat and upright with flooding in any single main compartment.

CONSTRUCTION AND COMPONENTS

ONUK MRTP15 is built in advanced composites to satisfy the very tough requirements of an intensive professional use together with a long service life. The benefits of the advanced composite structure are:

WEIGHT REDUCTION

  • Improved Performance
  • Increased Payload
  • Fuel Savings

CORROSION RESISTANCE

  • Longer service life
  • Maintenance savings

IMPROVED

  • Threat avoidance/detection
  • Ballistic protection

REDUCED SIGNATURES

  • Machinery vibration/acoustic
  • Magnetic signature
  • Heat signature

The hull and superstructure are constructed in accordance with the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Type Approval Certificate 416.01. All boats of the series are delivered with the relevant DNV Certificates.

The helm station and the interiors have been designed in line with the SAE recommendations for ergonomics to provide the crew with maximum comfort and minimum fatigue in prolonged use in heavy seas.

Machinery and propulsion
The mechanical components are selected with the intensive professional use in mind. They offer a high level of reliability, despite the extreme performance requirements.

The propulsion is by twin MTU 12V183 TE93ECU diesels, Twin Disc Arneson Surface Drives (ASD12 B1L) and Rolla surface piercing propellers. Depending on the speed requirements, the ONUK MRTP15 can be equipped with different components for optimum operational efficiency / price ratio.

MISSION MODULES

ONUK MRTP15 can be equipped with various mission modules depending on the customer requirements. Despite the size of the platform, these modules have been integrated with the modularity and reconfigurability in objectives in mind. Thus, the platform can be reconfigured with different mission modules, increasing dramatically the operational flexibility and reducing the costs. The mission modules would be:

Search and rescue equipment
Multi sensor surveillance suite
Multi weapon mounts (Stabilized turret with MG and F&F wire guided missiles)
SOF (Special Operation Forces) support/SDV (Seal Delivery Vehicle)
