The Egyptian Navy's long-standing requirement for a new missile-armed fast attack craft capability is finally under way with the announcement that the US Department of Defense has issued a contract for the design of a new vessel. Under a USD28.8 million contract, VT Halter Marine of the US, a subsidiary of Vision Technologies Systems, will develop a functional design for Phase I of the Egyptian missile fast attack craft requirement.
