The unmanned companion for frigates
UNI-VARIANT
DEEPDOCK LRMV-XL
(X-Large – 108 m)
DEEPDOCK LRMV-XL is a 108-meter unmanned “remote magazine” vessel designed to complement frigate formations with additional missile volume and persistent on-station presence. The concept aligns with emerging requirements for arsenal-style platforms carrying vertical launch missile capacity and operating in cooperation with sensor-equipped escorts via secure datalinks and cooperative engagement. The design emphasis is seakeeping, autonomy, cyber-resilient control, and long-duration “loiter” in assigned sea areas.
​
The 108 m configuration includes a helideck, 6 ISO mission containers (e.g., comms gateway, EW, decoys, reload/support, strike support, mission-specific payloads), and a frigate-style forward main gun (medium caliber) for surface defence and limited fire support. The core payload is a VLS battery / containerized strike cells sized for area air defence and maritime strike effects, with targeting data provided by cooperating frigates or beyond-line-of-sight links (where doctrine permits). For self-protection against small UAS/loitering threats, LRMV-XL carries 4 lightweight counter-UAS stations (rapid-fire + DEW/RF layers). Three deck access points are reserved for modular expansion: 2 × manhole type A (mission bay hatches for deployables, UAS/loitering munition handling, or sensor packages) and 1 × manhole type B (reinforced weapons/services trunk for additional effectors, launcher services, or specialized payload integration), enabling growth without redesign.
