BAE Systems candidate design design for Type Type 31e Our highly capable multi-miss multi-mission ion warship has been designed with flexibility at its core and is tailorable to a wide variety of warfare roles. With a clear focus focus on exportability and adaptability our Type 31e solution has been designed to meet different customer requirements for both today and the t he future. Our solution’s adaptable design draws on the battle proven pedigree of our previous warships such as the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers and Offshore Patrol Vessels, plus the Khareef vessels delivered to the Royal Navy of Oman. From our decades of warship design expertise we are proposing a solution that will allow navies to increase their fleet sizes without compromising their capabilities. Using a flexible mission bay that can be reconfigured at short notice our Type 31e solution can react to a variety of demands, performing constabulary, disaster relief,
maritime interdiction, counter-piracy, counter-piracy, consort protection and joint taskforce operations.
