The Alphonse Pettipas Class Destroyer is an improvement on the previous Mattieu LeBlanc Class incorporating a variant of the 'Fricot Air Defense Combat System' typically installed on cruisers. Alphonse Pettipas is able to provide area air defense coordination for battle groups at a reduced level from cruisers, as well as control and coordinate off-platform cooperative engagement of targets. Armament is identical to the Mattieu LeBlanc class with the exception of the removal of the box launchers for the anti-shipping missiles amidships. Instead, along with hangar extensions, two 8-cell vertical launch systems with strike-length capability are installed ahead of the hangar, one on each side of the ship. These new VLS cells provide capability to carry longer ranged anti-shipping and air defense missiles.

The forward vertical launch system is capable of launching a variety of weapons which can be altered to meet changing needs. A typical load would include:

The strategic length vertical launch system, with longer missile cells, provides more flexibility. A typical load may consist of:
