## Design

[edit]

The Hisar-class patrol ships were developed on the basis of the design of the Ada-class corvettes. These ships, which have similar tonnage & length, are designed to perform particularly economical & effective tasks in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, combating piracy, protection of marine resources, establishment of maritime security, humanitarian assistance in natural disasters, and search and rescue missions.[4]
