KAAN 16

   

THE 16 METRE FAST INTERVENTION CRAFT
The advanced composite "Fast Intervention Craft" ONUK MRTP16® is the extended and improved version of the "Kaan 15" Class ONUK MRTP15® of the Turkish Coast Guard. ONUK MRTP16® is developed as a versatile Multi Role Tactical Platform (MRTP®) for increasingly tough requirements of the law enforcement and naval forces to control the littoral and coastal waters.

Internally, the advanced machinery systems and arrangement result in a vessel with greatly enhanced operability, maintainability and accommodation standards.

PRIMARY ROLES
ONUK MRTP16® Fast Intervention Craft has been designed to carry out a wide range of littoral and coastal water law enforcement and naval duties, including:

Search and rescue
Anti smuggling
Pollution control
Anti terrorist protection of the coastal and offshore installations
Surveillance / Covert surveillance
Patrol / Escort / Fast attack craft
Seal insertion-extraction craft

BACKGROUND:
After very successful performance of the "Kaan 15" Class ONUK MRTP15®, the Undersecretariat of Defense Industries, Turkish MoD, decided to continue the program with the extended and improved "ONUK MRTP16®. As of July 2005, with 4 units delivered to the Directorate General of Borders and Health and additional units on order within the context of the same project, ONUK MRTP16® is a well proven platform.

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 70 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.
ONUK MRTP16® 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 MRTP16® is one of the fastest known platforms of this size with a mission payload capability in the range of 1,8 tons.

Stability: Intact-Damaged:
Turkish and NATO naval standards have been applied to the ONUK MRTP16® for the intact and damaged stability. ONUK MRTP16® 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 MRTP16® 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 12V2000M93 diesels, Twin Disc Arneson Surface Drives (ASD12 B1L) and Rolla surface piercing propellers. Depending on the speed requirements, the ONUK MRTP16®can be equipped with different components for optimum operational efficiency / price ratio.

MISSION MODULES
ONUK MRTP16®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)

THE 16 METRE FAST RESCUE CRAFT
The advanced composite "Fast Rescue Craft" ONUK MRTP 16®/U is the extended and improved, water jet driven version of the ONUK MRTP16®. ONUK MRTP16®/U is developed as a versatile Multi Role Tactical Platform (MRTP®) for increasingly tough requirements of the law enforcement and naval forces to control the littoral and coastal waters.

Internally, the advanced machinery systems and arrangement result in a vessel with greatly enhanced operability, maintainability and accommodation standards.

PRIMARY ROLES
ONUK MRTP16®/U Fast Rescue Craft has been designed to carry out a wide range of littoral and coastal water law enforcement-naval duties and open sea rescue, including:

Search and rescue
Sea ambulance
Pilot boat
Police boat
Pollution control
Surveillance

BACKGROUND:
The advanced composite "Fast Rescue Craft" ONUK MRTP16®/U is an evolution with the extended and improved, water jet driven version of the ONUK MRTP15® of the Turkish Coast Guard. Four units of ONUK MRTP16®/U for the Directorate General of Health Turkish Borders delivered in 2005.

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 70 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. ONUK MRTP16®/U will be able to operate in heavy sea's performing Search and Rescue duties up to Sea State 7.

The seakeeping capabilities of the ONUK MRTP16®/U Fast Rescue Craft that derive from the ONUK MRTP15®, used intensively by the Turkish Coast Guard since 1997, are well proven in operation. ONUK MRTP16®/U has a soft and dry ride in adverse conditions. The MJP 450DD water jet drive system provides extreme maneuverability with high precision control and a very shallow draught, enhancing the operation in confined waters or boarding a larger ship in rough seas.

Stability: Intact-Damaged:
Commercial and Turkish / NATO naval standards have been applied to the ONUK MRTP16® for the intact and damaged stability. ONUK MRTP16®/U meets the Turkish Navy and NATO criteria for damaged stability and will remain afloat and upright with flooding in any single main compartment.
