DCNS to unveil new FREMM Frigate variant, updated BRAVE supply ship design at Euronaval 2012

At
the 23rd EURONAVAL show to be held from 22 to 26 October 2012 at the
Paris-le Bourget exhibition center, DCNS will unveil several new designs
of submarines and surface vessels. Among them are the new FREMM-ER (for
Extend Range) Frigate dedicated to Air Defense missions and an updated
design for the BRAVE replenishment ship which was first unveiled two
years ago at Euronaval 2010.

The
FREMM-ER was designed with a focus on Air Defense and possibly Anti
Ballistic Missile Defense. The hull and general platform of the vessel
is almost identical to the French Navy's and DCNS' FREMM class. However
the two masts (Herakles radar and electronic warfare) found on the
current FREMM (such as the Aquitaine frigate) is replaced by a new radar
by Thales called SF 500 (or Sea Fire 500). The new Thales radar seems
to be similar in concept to the Lockheed Martin's AEGIS - AN/SPY-1D
multi-function phased-array radar system with its four fixed arrays
noticeable on all 4 sides of the main mast.

Contacted by Navy
Recognition DCNS and Thales representatives would not give details on
the new radar system, explaining details would be made public during
Euronaval. Regarding the vessel itself however, DCNS told us that a
FREMM-ER would be able to fulfill the exact same missions as the current
FREMM. Indeed, FREMM-ER has the same multi-mission capabilities as
FREMM, in particular extensions capability can be installed on FREMM-ER
such as:
- Increased ASW capabilities with a VDS (variable depth sonar)
- Increased land attack capabilities with MDCN (Scalp Naval by MBDA)

FREMM-ER's CIC (Combat Information Center) shares the same characteristics as the CIC found on FREMM:
- Large workstations
- Multipurpose Consoles
- Modular configuration

The
SETIS modular CMS (Combat Management System) developed by DCNS and the
CIC area can implement new and future innovations as they become mature.
In FREMM-ER, sailors for example will be able to use augmented reality
in the fight against asymmetric threats.

DCNS
presented during Euronaval 2010 its new-generation underway
replenishment tanker and support vessel named BRAVE (Bâtiment
RAVitailleur d'Escadre).

At Euronaval 2012, DCNS will be showing
an updated design for the BRAVE class. As you can see in the images
above and below, most of the redisgn work has been focused on the bow
and stern of the ship. The bow is now inverted for better sea-keapping
and there is now only one helicopter spot while the previous design had
space for two helicopter spots. The sole spot is still able to
accomodate heavy helicopters however (35 t). There is still space for
two helicopters in the hangar.

Developped in association with
STX-France (based on the same principles that made the BPC Mistral class
a success), the design should answer French Navy needs to replace the
Durance class. BRAVE will also be available to international customers.

The BRAVE main missions include:
» Refuel and support all types of vessels at sea (Aircraft carriers, large & small surface vessels, submarines);
» Support force projection operations;
» Command and control of maritime operations;
» Support humanitarian operations.

The vessel's defense system is designed to be modular and can be adatped to customer requirements.

design and other new developments by DCNS, make sure to check Navy

cette frégate et vraiment belle et forte sa aurai était bien d'en avoir au moin 2

Dans
les prochaines étapes de ce processus, l’Aquitaine devrait recevoir un
système plus complet de guerre électronique ainsi qu’une liaison de
données supplémentaire, la L16, particulièrement adaptée aux opérations
aéromaritimes. En 2014, l’intégration à bord des missiles de croisière
débutera.
