They are capable of operating for up to 5,000h a year, even under tropical conditions. OTO Melara will provide a total of 25 12.7mm Hitrole-NT systems under the ER 10 million contract: 5 on board each of the 4 frigates (TL = 20) and 5 on land for training purposes.
April 2020 #1; Hallo Gemeinde, nach Fertigstellung des Fischdampfers Nürnberg liegt bei mir zur Vervollständigung meiner Bundesmarineeinheiten die neue Fregatte Baden-Württemberg auf der Werft. It was previously known as Anshutz & Co, a Carl Zeiss subsidiary.The integrated bridge and navigation system consists of six multi-function consoles that are capable of displaying various functions such as two X/S-band radars, two electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) and NautoConning navigation data, which reads and displays in a logically arranged manner while distributing the navigation data.One of the six consoles is for route planning purposes.
Zitat:Fregatte Klasse F 125 Neue Wege für die nächste Fregattengeneration der Marine Von Timm Becker (Der Autor Dr. Timm Becker ist Mitarbeiter bei ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AG/Blohm + Voss GmbH) Die Marine - wie die gesamte Bundeswehr - steht umwälzenden Veränderungen im operativen Umfeld gegenüber. The MASS decoy and mini mortar dispensers are installed on the port and starboard sides above the bridge, as well as on the helicopter hangar roof.The frigate has a 490m² aft helicopter deck and a hangar for two NH-90 helicopters, which each have a range of 790km.The frigates are fitted with a new combined diesel electric and gas electrical propulsion system with a 20MW General Electric LM 2500 gas turbine, four MTU 20V 4000 M53B diesel engines providing 3,015kW each (total 12.06MW) and two Siemens electric motors providing 4.5MW each (total 9MW).The main machinery is designed to run for 30,000h between major overhauls.
Sie ist 150 Meter lang, wiegt zirka 7000 Tonnen und kostet so viel wie die Hamburger Elbphilharmonie, und zwar zirka 860 Millionen Euro. The first system delivery is scheduled for 2012.This marks the end of the 3-year design and management phase.
The rounds are automatically assembled before entering the turret and can fire long-range Vulcano ammunition. MTU is the overall power & propulsion integrator, with Siemens handling related control systems.GPS-capable Harpoon Block II missiles will provide the ship’s initial set of longer-range naval and land strike punch, until and unless a successor system is chosen.The F125 ships were originally slated to mount naval versions of the Bundeswehr’s M270 MLRS rocket launcher, and PzH-2000 155mm mobile howitzer.
Die 149 m lange und 18 m breite „Nordrhein-Westfalen“ ist das zweite von vier Schiffen der Klasse F125, die unter der Federführung von Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems für die Deutsche Marine gebaut werden. It is armed with non-lethal weapons such as water cannons and searchlights for non-provocative deterrence and protection.The ship is also fitted with ten guns, ranging from 12.7mm to 155mm, allowing fast automatic engagement.The BWB awarded Oto Melara contracts for the supply of five 127/64 LW Alleggerito lightweight naval guns, four for installation on the F125 frigates and the fifth for training.The gun is installed on the forward gun deck. Note that “Federal German Ship” prefixes are used outside of Germany, not by the Deutsche Marine.
Die Fregatte verfügt über vier große Festrumpfschlauchboote. That’s a longer range than MLRS rockets, which may help to explain why Germany was willing to abandon plans for a naval MLRS system and MONARC naval 155mm gun on board. Two helicopters or four armed boats can provide the necessary transport.In March 2006, Airbus SE was contracted to supply the F125 command, control and weapons deployment system, FuWES (Fuhrungs-und Waffeneinsatzsystem). The German Navy's Baden-Wurttemberg class Type 125 (F125) frigate sure doesn't look like a frigate.

Each of the 2 ship masts will carry 2 of the TRS-4D panels, which have the standard AESA advantages of very low maintenance, simultaneous tasking, and improved detection.Astrium is partnered with the EADS/TKMS joint venture Atlas Elektronik for service.The F125 agreement calls for Rockwell Collins to provide its CS-3600 R-ESM system, which contains the CS-3001 Pulse Analyzer Unit (PAU), CS-5998 wideband tuners, CS-5020 microwave tuners, IFMR-6070 Instantaneous Frequency Measuring Receiver (IFM) and the CS-6090 PRISM (Precision Intercept Spectral Monitoring System). ALDiS allows the ship to use a variety of datalinks to share what it sees with German and allied forces, including the key NATO standards Link-11, Link-16, and Link-22.MTU’s Engine Series 4000 is based on commercial engines which were originally designed for continuous power, then specially optimized to fulfill the requirements of naval vessels.
