Plans for the eventual mid life upgrade for the frigates purchased, are starting to be take effect, the most impressive of which is replacement of the legacy Anti Air missile system with the HQ16.

There is a space for a VLS where the FM90 is currently stored.

Other upgrades are in sensors both Radar and Sonar and also a new battle management system.

There is also a chance for FL3000N anti missile system to integrated as either a stand alone or with the CIWS.

New indigenous towed sonar could also be used.

Plans are still on paper and therefore could change, but we should hear about this in the next couple of years.

Would it be full 32 cells?

I think it will be difficult to install 32 cell SAM by replacing the FM-90 most probably 16-24 cell SAM is possible provided the space available below the deck

Like LF-2400 Frigate which were presented by Turkey .. I am more interested in FL-3000N

You should look into when the first of the sword class entered service, also this won't happen for a few years yet.

The purchase of the 054 will take pressure off the F22.

what about Genesis command system from Turkey ? any possibility of getting that too in upgrade process ?

If anything deserves an upgrade it would have to be the UK frigates we have in our fleet

I feel that we need to MLU these older frigates , Modernized the sensors
and upgrade the SAMs on ships

  • All these antenna whiskers need to go
  • May be a modern Radar /Sensors
  • The deck needs to be cleared of all the "Clutter"
  • SAMs need to be modenized

Some Anti Ship Missiles in rear would be fantastic
Would be eager to see these two System upgrade on Ship

Don't see why a new radar cannot be purchased and added as well

Better to just use them for as long as possible then retire them and acquire something newer.

These vessels were laid down in the 70''s and are coming up to nearly 50 years of service. They are obsolete and will be used as target practice once retired.
 
.
Well the only thing which is obsolete is the Computers/Radars

  • That is why they need a Computer/Radar upgrade , and after that integration of Anti Ship missiles

The other internal of ships can always be modernized by Local Labor force


There are many companies that sell only Radar Modernization

Would imagine the Radar/Computer system upgrade would be simplist for ships

The modern radars are quite compact systems
Would imagine a Radar / Computer systems on board should
Modenize the ships

The adavance radar can be bought in open market and just other part can be moved into ship , rest is just wire connections to the computer system

It is just a part which need to be upgraded
