IAI Blue Diamond suite: Integrating modular loitering munitions on light naval hulls

IAI unveiled Diamond, a containerized modular naval weapon system for light ships and patrol boats.

The system can swap mission modules carrying loitering munitions, anti-surface missiles, or electronic warfare gear.

It is designed to give small navies and coast guards affordable strike and EW capability without major warship integration.

The concept could broaden access to naval firepower, but it also raises proliferation concerns.
