Type 26 frigate australia

Australia’s Hunter class, like the British Type City class it is based on, has a degree of modularity built into its design. It’s something its designers at BAE Systems are proud of. As we argued in a previous article, Type was the best of the three candidates for the ASW needs of the Australian navy and any potential obstacles to selection would only be political and industrial.

Faced with the reality that a force of ships was unaffordable, and with no additional funding, the RN instead turned to a compromise that it has done several times since WWfor its frigate force. It’s probably because the Type has morphed into an ‘adaptive cruiser’ role that the Royal Navy has—after a decade of agonising—split its frigate purchase between eight Type 26s, and an indefinite number of smaller general purpose frigates (GPFFs). On that count alone, the Type deserves a nomenclatural promotion, especially when. Though the Type will fall short in offering such a full capacity. I’m glad to see a deicated load zone for ‘Multi’ operations has been baked into the design.

This Australian Frigate programme is another opportunity to strengthen our shipbuilding ties, as well as greater cooperation between the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy. BAE Systems recently signed a contract with the Australian Government to further refine its design of the Type Frigate for the Royal Australian Navy. This is the second supplier from South Australia to supply into the Type program as part of BAE Systems’ Global Access Program, joining: Electro Optic Systems, Liferaft Systems Australia , Thales Australia , Mackay Consolidated Rubber, Rowlands Metalworks and CBG Systems (Moonraker). Then actually expect that they will secure a contract for these ships with Australia.


FREMM frigate £7million for an ASW version of the Australian air warfare destroyer £1. The Type frigate represents the future backbone of the Royal Navy and a massive leap forward in terms of flexibility of surface vessels enjoyed by the service. It will replace the Type frigates of the Royal Navy and export orders are being sought after by BAE. The Type Global Combat Ship will be a world-class anti-submarine warfare ship.


Globally deployable, the flexible mission bay, aviation facilities and combat systems ensure it will be capable of undertaking a wide range of roles from high intensity warfare to humanitarian assistance, either operating independently or as part of a task group. Defence firm BAE Systems is in the process of building eight Type Global Combat frigates for the British Navy. It won the contract for the largest peace-time warship project in Australian history.


The AUD $35bn (£1bn) contract will see South Australia ’s ASC Shipbuilding become a subsidiary of BAE, with production of the frigates taking place in Australia , rather than the Type ’s Glasgow base. Type is expected to face tough competition from the Fregata multimission programme (FREMM multipurpose frigate ), and US frigates. Both navies require them to be constructed in their respective countries with different combat management systems etc.

The UK programme to develop the Type Global Combat Ship for the Royal Navy is underway. A joint team of engineers from BAE Systems and UK Ministry of Defence is working to mature the detailed design and support solution for the ship. Whether Britain has the design capability to generate an additional surface combatant within a reasonable time is open to doubt, as is the ability to establish and run a second production line. What is not in doubt is that the Type frigate ’s start-up costs will exceed any possible savings made through restricting the Type buy.


Sometime in June, the Australian government will announce which of the three contenders has won the competition for the programme to construct anti-submarine frigates. The Global Combat Ship – Australia is based on BAE Systems’ Type frigate , one of the world’s most advanced anti-submarine warships, which the Company is currently constructing in Glasgow for the Royal Navy. Once contracte the new ships, to be called the Hunter class, will be built in South Australia by an Australian workforce, using.


A2A Well…the consequences of this project can only be guessed at. Malcolm Turnbull has made statements prophecising that because of this project, the next frigate.
