Navigation radar for Polish minesweepers

Two of the new minesweepers for the Polish Navy will be equipped with the Kelvin Hughes Mk 11 X Band SharpEye navigation radar. It will be part of the integrated navigation bridge system from OSI Maritime Systems and will perform both navigation and maritime surveillance functions.
The two Project 258 minesweepers, Albatros and Mewa, were built at the Remontowa shipyard in Gdansk. They are 58 metres long and displace 850 tonnes. The hull is made of non-magnetic steel. The main armament of the Kormoran II class is a 35-millimetre cannon.
The radar device was developed by Kelvin Hughes, which was acquired by Hensoldt in 2017. Today it operates under the name Hensoldt UK.
