The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has laid out an MYR214 million (USD48 million) plan to equip two of its Kedah (MEKO 100 RMN)-class corvettes with Naval Strike Missile (NSM) launchers.

Documents obtained by Janes indicate that the plan is being proposed as a three-part procurement project under the RMN's ‘Rolling Plan 4' of the 12th Malaysia Plan, which runs from 2021 to 2025. Rolling Plan 4 covers proposals that will be funded in the country's national budget for 2024.

The RMN operates six Kedah-class corvettes that were commissioned between June 2006 and December 2010. The corvettes were built under a technology transfer agreement arranged between Penang Shipbuilding Corporation (present-day Boustead Naval Shipyard) and a German consortium led by Blohm+Voss.

Each vessel is armed with a 76 mm naval gun in the primary position, a 30 mm cannon in the aft section, and two 12.7 mm machine guns.
