The Mowdge Class vessel has a displacement of around 14,000 tons and is equipped with modern radars and electronic warfare capabilities and is armed with a variety of anti-ship, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.Jamaran destroyer is also capable of firing different kinds of marine torpedoes to fight against under-water targets.
Noting that Iran plans to test-fire fully intelligent torpedoes from the destroyer in the near future, he reiterated, "The torpedoes enjoy high intercepting power and have 100%
destruction power."jamaran, equipped with guided missile systems, is capable of accomplishing six simultaneous missions, thanks to the advanced technologies used in the vessel.
Jamaran destroyer can defend itself against under-water, surface and air attacks simultaneously, he added.
Several information, electronic warfare, anti-electronic, radar, missile, under-water torpedo-launching and sonar systems and technologies have been used in different stories of the destroyer.
More ships in its class are under construction.
Description
Weapons systems
The primary weapon deployed by Jamaran-class vessels is the Bell 214, which acts in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long distances from the ships. The Jamaran-class also carries close-in anti-submarine weapon 324 mm light torpedoes, launched from triple torpedo launchers either side of the forward end of the helicopter landing pad. A secondary anti-shipping role is supported by four Noor surface-to-surface missiles, mounted in four box launchers on the roof of the upper deck level between the radar and the main mast. For anti-aircraft self-defense the Jamaran-class is supported possibly by four SM-1surface-to-air missiles in four box launchers at the main deck level near the helicopter landing pad. The Jamaran-class also carries two 20mm and one 40mm maned autocannon to provide a shipboard point-defense against incoming anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The main gun on the fo'c'sle is a 76 mm Fajr-27 gun. The gun is capable of firing shells at a rate of 85 rounds per minute at a range of more than 17 kilometers. The Fajr-27 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets and can also firing shells in ship-to-shore bombardment.
Sensors
The ship is equipped with one Plessey AWS-1 long range air and surface search and tracking radar, installed on the roof of forward of the funnel. The Plessey AWS-1 is presumably taken from the Alvand class frigate. The ship is also fitted with two navigation radars on the main mast. The ship is also equipped with one fire control radar, possibly taken from the Alvand class frigate.
Propulsion
The Jamaran-class vessels are powered by two 10,000 hp engines, possibly diesels and also use four diesel generators which each generate 550 kw. The Jamaran-class can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots.
Landing Platform Helicopter
The Jamaran can accommodate a small and medium size helicopter and can also run a helicopter in-flight refueling (HIFR) operation when a helicopter approaches on the landing platform, which is not necessarily suited for landing operations.
