A flexible and tailorable modern warship, able to provide a breadth of credible capability from maritime security to warfighting, worldwide, at an affordable procurement cost, the VENATOR-110 Frigate design is also gaining traction through several overseas opportunities such as the US FFG(X) and Colombian PES programmes.

VENATOR-110 is a standard platform with a flexible/modular approach enabling different customers to have a 'menu of choice'. It is also a design configured for 'block-build' enabling different parts to be built in different shipyards.
