FREMM<\/a> programme, a collaborative effort between France and Italy to construct 21 FREMM frigates for their respective navies. <\/p>\nSpanning 140 metres (m) in length and 20m in width, these frigates have a displacement of 6,000 tonnes and can accommodate 108 officers and crew members. <\/p>\n
Eight regular FREMM ships have been delivered to the service as part of a contract for ten units going back to November 2005. <\/p>\n
The delivery of the first FREMM EVO unit is scheduled for 2029, with the second to follow in 2030. <\/p>\n
The FREMM EVO units will be equipped with new technology, including anti-drone systems and the capability to operationally manage uncrewed systems in all three dimensions: above the surface, on the sea, and below the surface. <\/p>\n
The frigates will feature reliable equipment supported by maintenance plans, ensuring high operational availability and readiness for action. <\/p>\n
These new vessels incorporate recent defence programmes and the Mid Life Upgrade project for Horizon<\/em>-class destroyers. <\/p>\nThe upgrades will focus on the ship management system cyber-resilient, the air-conditioning and electrical distribution systems, and eco-friendly solutions for the platform system. <\/p>\n
The combat system will also see enhancements with the modern combat management system SADOC 4 cyber-resilient, dual-band X-C fixed-face radar sensors for TBM threat defence, electronic warfare, artillery and missile systems, the sonar suite, communication system, and tactical data links. <\/p>\n
