MissionFREMM family is the right ship to address all militaryor asymmetric threats and be part or assumecommand of any naval task group (national or allied).
With 11 units already ordered by the French Navy,and already one more ordered for export, this majorprogramme is led by DCNS as prime contractor.

Power from the seaAquitaine-class features:
land attack missilesanti-air missilesanti-ship missilesartillery up to 127 mmlightweight torpedoes10t-class helicopter(s)UAVsRHIBS for special forces
Drawing on its expertise in warshipswith low radar, acoustic, magnetic andinfrared signatures, DCNS has designedthe stealthiest new-generation frigate.Examples:
cooled exhausts for limited IR signatureelectric propulsion during ASW opera-tions for reduced acoustic signatureRCS reduction features
The CODLOG-powered electric propulsionsystem is ideal for ultra-quiet submarinehunting. As a countermeasure againstmagnetic mines and torpedoes, the de-gaussing system constantly compensatesfor hull magnetisation as the ship movesthrough the earths magnetic eld; all hullopenings (portholes, scuppers, etc.) areconcealed to ensure maximum protectionagainst radar-guided enemy missiles.
SETIS combat system is fully integratedfor multimission operations and immedi-ate reconguration, and is also multilinkcapable.
SETIS is based on COTS hardware and IPprotocols facilitating maintenance andupgrades.
SETIS is tted with the last-generationmultifunction radar providing the bestperformances such as detection range.

Maximised operationalperformanceThanks to DCNS position as the main French Navys
in-service support contractor, operational feedbackhas been taken into account in the conception anddesign of new generation warships.
Unprecedented availability has been gained through:
a selection of sea-proven equipment such aspower generators
maintenance clearance checked during detaileddesign of sub-parts
equipment removal routes optimisation
on-condition monitoring
Thus resulting in reduced upkeep periods and moretime between major maintenance operations.
