This will let the vessel turn the sea into an inhospitable domain as it obstructs passage and protects ports from hostile intrusion. OMT Chief Executive Officer Kåre Groes Christiansen stated that this ship was born to be 'cubed.'Īlso Read: Australia Builds Nuclear-Powered Submarines Despite Criticism from Chinaīefore releasing the ships, the developers could take on mine-laying modules considering it is designed for use with the Cube.

Pop Science reported that OMT MPV80 debuted at the DSEI arms exhibition last 2021 and was built with the modular cube system as one of its essential characteristics. These ships were built by the Odense Maritim Technology and SH Defense, using a modular system to package equipment in modules. The 2021 OMT MPV80 is expected to serve as the template design for the new ships. The agreement of the Danish Navy with the Danish Patrol Ships K/S consortium constructed a design that will be completed by 2025.

Removing the ship from the service will not be necessary when updating.

The arctic vessels, which could serve as a template for warships in the future, can also be updated like weapons and sensors. When there's a conflict, the cube can serve fire torpedoes or missiles. This can also take the role of a coast guard by rushing to assist with rescue boats in case of an emergency. Through this process, the vessel can be used to lay and even hunt mines that will depend on the used module of the ship. As part of the cube, all of the equipment needed for the operation will be part of it and swapped out of the vessel once the operation concludes. Most likely, the patrol ships will feature side panels where this can slot in before the vessel heads out for a mission.
