|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Aquitaine class FREMM is a class of multi-mission frigates designed by French shipbuilder DCNS. France plans to operate eleven FREMM frigates which will be the backbone of the French Navy (Marine Nationale). Designed for AAW, ASW and ASUW missions, these true multirole vessels are also capable of carrying out deep strikes against land targets. Morocco also ordered one Frigate of this class, the vessel to be named Mohammed VI is set to become the flagship of the Royal Moroccan Navy. |

Design | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The
FREMM design offers a perfect balance between stealth and hitting power.
Hard-kill and soft-kill weapons, associated with a discretion profile,
are selected to offer the best cost/efficiency ratio. Each component
is integrated bearing in mind that a warship is no longer an accumulation
of sensors and weapons but a complex system to be designed as an optimized
ensemble. Thus, the performance of this system is greater than the sum
of its components. The proven solutions of the La Fayette class stealth frigates have been applied and extended to the acoustic, magnetic and IR domains: » Electric propulsion guarantees a reduced acoustic signature for antisubmarine operations » Exhaust gases of diesel generators are cooled » Openings are masked and decks are covered over » The degaussing system is adapted to the new mines threats A mixed propulsive system offers great flexibility: it combines silent electric motors (cruising) with gas turbines (high-speed and rapid acceleration). |

Missions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The
FREMM is a front-line warship designed to form the operational backbone
of major navies. The FREMM class can respond to all kinds of threats,
whether from land, sea or air. Acting alone, a FREMM can assume a multitude
of missions, from escort duties to naval gunfire support. As part of
a joint task force, a FREMM can accommodate a fleet operations staff
and, with an excellent C4ISR capability, can direct warfare in one or
several spheres. |
