2. INTRODUCTION
• Gowind is a family of steel monohull frigates, corvettes and offshore patrol vessels developed since 2006 by DCNS to
conduct missions in littoral zone such as anti-submarine warfare (ASW).
• The Gowind family includes vessels with lengths from 85m to 111m and displacement from 1,000t to 3000t.
• The Gowind can deploy Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Underwater
Unmanned Vehicles (UUVs).
• An aft deck has been provided allowing for a 10-ton class helicopter or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations.
• Gowind's weapon system consists of a multi-functional radar and Aster 15 or Aster 30 or MICA SAM. It can be armed
with either 8 Exocet or 8 Harpoon SSM.
• The propulsion system is based on Combined Diesel and Diesel (CODAD) and includes water-jets for improved
maneuverability in shallow waters and high-speed performance.
• There is no funnel on these ships.
• The radar and other sensors are mounted on a single central mast thus allowing 360-degree view. DCNS offers three
variants of Gowind: Gowind 200, Gowind 170 and Gowind 120.
