One of the ISL vessels currently in highest demand, the SHALDAG FPC was designed in the late 1990s, integrating valuable improvements created by Israeli defense experts in response to real-life security challenges.
The SHALDAG is most valued for security tasks where high intercept speeds and easy maneuverability are required. In addition, the vessel is equipped with highly advanced weapons systems, produced by world-recognized Israeli designers.
The combat-proven success of this unique ISL craft was quickly established with the Israeli Navy, attracting the attention of many other Naval forces.
Drawing on extensive operational experience in different environments, the craft continued to be improved, including the addition of newer lightweight weapons systems.
To date, three types of SHALDAG have been introduced, in addition to several upgrades.

Mini-Shaldag
Specifications:
- LOA (Length Over All): 19.80m
- Beam Max.: 4.80m
- Displacement: About 35tons
- Max Speed: about 55knots
- Crew: 5 personnel + 8 Special Forces
Characteristics
As the Shaldag Class’ newest and fastest family member, sailing at up to 55knots, the Mini-Shaldag is the ideal solution for short-range missions where speed and agility are required. Due to its smaller and more efficient design, state-of-the-art machinery, auxiliary systems, and stabilized armament, the Mini-Shaldag shortens the response time to any developing situation.
