Description:
The Rauma class fast attack crafts were designed to perform coastal defense missions in the Baltic Sea environment employing anti-ship missiles such as the proven RBS15. Moreover, the ship's design flexibility allows to perform anti-aircraft warfare as well as other missions.
The Squadron 2000-class crafts, also known as Hamina and Rauma 2000, are an enhanced and faster derivative of proven Rauma-class fast attack boats. The Finnish Navy has plans to procure two Squadron 2000 class vessels. As of early 2005, the Finnish Navy was expanding the scope of Squadron 2000 program for two additional ships to be commissioned by 2006/07.
In early February 2005, Bofors Defence AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Defense, was awarded a 11 million Euro contract for two 57mm naval guns to be installed on two Squadron 2000 vessels.
In September 2005 EADS demonstrated the command and control, and reconnaissance systems provided to Finland's Squadron 2000 ships. These equipment consists of the Advanced Naval Combat System ANCS advanced data processing system, the TRS-3D radar and the Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar MSSR 2000 I Interrogator Friend or Foe (IFF). This milestone also marked the entry into service of the Finnish Navy's Hamina. The remaining ships in the Squadron 2000 class were scheduled to receive this equipment before the end of 2006.
