The ASW-focused combat system includes four heavyweight torpedo tube launchers and a pair of 12-barreled RBU6000 rocket depth-charge launchers featuring several design improvements incorporated by [[Larsen & Toubro]]. It is not known if the locally developed Mareech anti-torpedo decoy system has been installed. The fire-control system is the [[Bharat Electronics]] IAC Mod C system. While the ships are fitted with a Humsa-NG bow-mounted sonar, an [[Atlas Elektronik]] towed array sonar set will be fitted in due course. The ship will also to be fitted with vertical launch surface-to-air missiles.<ref name=":2" /> | The ASW-focused combat system includes four heavyweight torpedo tube launchers and a pair of 12-barreled RBU6000 rocket depth-charge launchers featuring several design improvements incorporated by [[Larsen & Toubro]].
