2. GOWIND® OPV : Missions & Characteristics
Content
DCNS Overview
GOWIND® OPV : Missions & Characteristics
DCNS solution for Maritime Surveillance & Intervention
Cooperation with Local Industry
Technical description of GOWIND ® L’Adroit and POLARIS (French Navy application)
The presentation will consist of three parts.
In the first part we will present some slides to explain, quite briefly, who we are and what we do, as an industrial company and prime contractor.
In the second part, we will present the global solutions proposed by DCNS for the Maritime Surveillance & Intervention split-up into 4 sub-activities :
Gowind OPV characteristics
RHIB launching and Aviation UAV facilities
Naval Assets Coordination
Interfacing with coastal Maritime Surveillance System.
We will end the presentation by a conclusion and we remain at your disposal for any clarification you may require.

11. DCNS solution for a complete Maritime Surveillance System Permanent in-depth surveillance of EEZ, coordination of naval assets
Interfacing with Coastal Maritime Surveillance system
Coastal Radar
Maritime Coordination Center
Fast Patrol vessel
Helicopter
Fast Patrol vessel
Coastal Radar
Naval assets coordination
RHIBS or USV
Various levels of maritime Surveillance & Intervention have to be considered to fulfil efficiently the missions in economic zones and territorial waters, with activities ranging from Public Service missions to Sea Control operations.
The first one concerns the OPV himself.
Then, the OPV relies on his organic assets such as UAV/SUV, RHIB and helicopter to extend his mission capability.
Naval coordination between the other ships is obviously mandatory to gather and share with other units the tactical picture and all other information.
Finally, interfacing with current or future Maritime Coordination Center for global maritime intelligence etc,…
