abstract="Fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) has subsequently been applied to small fast crafts such as powerboats, interceptors, rigid inflatables, and jet-skies, equipped with heavy machine guns, short-range missiles, rockets, and rocket-propelled grenades. These are capable to interfere with the ship operations, distract ships from primary missions, and damage ship sensors. The self-detonating suicide crafts, known as water-borne improvised explosive devices, are also a form of FIAC that can strike with the hull of a ship and cause extensive damage. A remotely operated fully automated small-calibre weapon system, with the help from improved surveillance, tracking, and fire-control performance, are expected to be used against the small fast explosive boats.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
