Introduction
The Naval Diving Unit (NDU) is currently operationalising the Combatant Craft Large (CCL) as part of its capability development for the conduct of Maritime Security (MARSEC) operations. Designed and built locally, the craft was developed in collaboration with the Defence Science & Technology Agency.
Characteristics
Manoeuvrable with Good Sea-Keeping Capabilities. The CCL is designed to be highly maneuverable and to achieve high speeds, which allows the craft to operate in congested environments and reach the target location quickly.
Advanced sensors and communication system. The CCL is equipped with the latest electro-optics sensors so that it can operate in both day and night. Additionally, a comprehensive communication suite facilitates seamless information exchange and coordination with the Republic of Singapore Navy ships and shore headquarters. This enables a common maritime situational awareness for the delivery of quick and effective responses during operations.
