Conceived as part of Project Protector, the Ministry of Defence acquisition project to acquire one multi-role vessel, two offshore and four inshore patrol vessels. The Project Protector vessels will be operated by the RNZN to conduct tasks for and with the New Zealand Customs Service, the Department of Conservation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ministry of Fisheries, Maritime New Zealand, and New Zealand Police.

The IPVs will be used for inshore tasks within 50 nautical miles of the coastline.

The shipbuilder (Tenix Defence) claims "the vessel is more than capable of extending the Crown's operational envelope to southern ocean patrol duties".

On March 31, 2006 the Hon. Phil Goff, Minister of Defence, announced that the IPVs will be named HMNZS Taupo (P3570), HMNZS Pukaki (P3568), HMNZS Hawea (P3567) and HMNZS Rotoiti (P3569). These are the names of Lake class patrol boats, and frigates, previously operated by the RNZN. These ships' names come from New Zealand lakes, two in the North Island and two in the South Island.
