Surface combatant vessel

Extending range and interoperability for surface combatants

We boost the performance of frigates and surface combatant vessels for extended long-range operations with rapid adaptability and interoperability. As a trusted partner and supplier to European and North American navies, we have decades of experience dealing with processes and demands for highly complex vessels built to the strictest standards.  

Powering performance with proven advantages:

  • Agile, electrically-powered Replenishment at Sea (RAS) systems 
  • Propulsion systems that improve range while offering ultra-quiet operation
  • Reliable deck machinery for fast, effective launch and recovery operations
  • Integrated digital systems to speed onboard decision-making.
