The navy has announced that it will procure over 7-10 years 28 (or more) destroyers belonging to two classes dubbed, the Praetor class DDGN. They are based on an extremely lengthened and broadened KDX-III hull, while employing many new stealth technologies, such as the Advanced Enclosed Mast/Sensor (AEM/S) System. These battlecruisers are well-armed to provide fleet defence against a wide range of threats. It also employs the SURTASS II-M system which is a smaller version of the SURTASS II system.
