From
D110 Tomcat onwards (which has just started building now) the
Panther will move to a revised specification known as
Type 35A2 or
Panther 35A2. This is then expected to be the standard for the rest of the Panther build. The changes are :
- TM-07A-J engine, boosting dash speed to 1125c and cruise to 980c
- Z5ti cannon with multi-mode
- iSAS-PAN attack system
- Info Warfare Center (IWC)
- Improved computer systems with greater DAC
- Combat Ware 2.0 support
The DDS said that the changes will enhance the performance and combat ability of the Panther and also make it a true multi-role warship with an excellent ground attack ability.
