Vanguard: A system of systems for the future of naval defence
Innovating Defence
Vanguard is the answer to a rapidly evolving security landscape — a modular, mission-adaptable platform developed through a national industrial effort.
Combining commercial shipbuilding with military-grade systems, Vanguard enables faster fleet development, seamless technology integration, and enhanced readiness. With real-time connectivity across manned and unmanned systems, it's more than a ship — it's a system of systems.
Flexible. Scalable. Sustainable. Vanguard is built to meet today’s demands and tomorrow’s threats.
What makes Vanguard unique?
Standardized modules enable rapid reconfiguration of roles and equipment — from patrol missions and coast guard operations to anti-submarine warfare, strike capabilities, and air defence.
A unified architecture manages navigation, sensors, communications, and platform systems—enabling seamless operations and real-time situational awareness.
Designed for seamless integration with both manned and unmanned systems across sea, land, air, and subsea domains — enabling agile, mission-driven use of resources.
Open architecture supports incremental upgrades. Combining commercial shipbuilding with military modules yields lifecycle costs up to 50% lower than traditional naval vessels.
Modular capacity-building allows fleets to expand quickly and cost-effectively in response to evolving threats and mission needs.
