Description | Project 18A is the Indian Navy's next-generation large surface combatant programme, aiming to construct six warships of 14,000-15,000 tonnes, among the biggest combatants ever constructed in India. These ships will have enhanced strike capability, air and missile defence, command and control systems, and increased endurance for far-flung missions. The project is at an early planning stage, with the RFP expected to be issued in the next three years and construction beginning around eight years later due to the platform's complexity. |
