The laser designator could be located on the patrol boat.

Could be fixed to Scimitar or Sabre in Gibraltar in order to make them a bit more potent. More of a threat to any Spanish vessels deciding to illegally enter territorial waters!

Similar to the DS30 with the Thales LMM; just on a smaller scale.
I have seen a mock up with x2 LMM missiles instead of the 2.75″.
As a CIWS replacement, I reckon 70mm or larger projectiles with beamriding guidance would offer far higher rates of fire than Phalanx
The semi-active laser guidance would be great for designation by Apache or Wildcat.
With that in mind, possibilities of remote controlled RIB’s operated by Merlin or Wildcat crews, loaded with Hydra’s?
