Arco-Burgoignesc Patrol Corvette and Aviso

Arco-Burgoignesc Patrol Corvette and Aviso (ABPC/A) is a project that was adopted by ARCERION AND Burgundie on 12 November 2019. The objective is to design and develop a new class of. The project is coordinated by Acerion, with Burgundie providing engineering, design, and production expertise.

The ships will have a conventional hull of different dimensions, armament, and propulsion systems.

The ABPC/A will have at least two versions:


 * Combat variant (reported Arcerion preference): 3D radar and combat management systems, medium/short-range s (SAM), anti- countermeasures, envisaged top speed: 25 - 26 kn;


 * Long-range patrol variant (aviso) (reported Burgundie preference): 3D radar and combat management systems, medium/short-range SAM, envisaged top speed: 24 kn

Other sources had earlier suggested that three variants were to be considered:


 * ABPC/A optimised for (ASuW) and  (AAW) warfare with the possibility of  (ASW) and with self-defence capabilities
 * ABPC/A optimized for anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and designed with oceanic reach (range of 10,000 nmi at 14 kn).
 * ABPC/A optimized for blue-water (offshore) patrol missions

Whatever the configuration and variants, as of 2022 the participating member states aim to potentially sign a contract as early as 2025 and the keel laying of the first ship to take place in 2026 and delivery starting in 2028.
