In prevailing security environment, high speed attack craft are required for surveillance, interventions and to neutralise adversary surface or land based targets. FAC(M) has been designed with high speed, reconnaissance, surveillance and surface to surface warfare capabilities. Ship has been designed with particular consideration on safety, performance, reliability and ease of maintenance. The ship has sufficient capacity to sustain independent operations as per given range and endurance at cruising speed. FAC(M) with the combination of modern weapons and sensors can undertake following roles:

• a. Maritime interdiction operations including Land Attack Missile (LAM) strike
• b. Operations against asymmetric threats (surface)/ Maritime Force Protection
• c. Maritime Security Operations
• d. Coastal patrolling
• e. Sea training
• f. Search & Rescue
