The Atlas Elektronik-led consortium is set to supply combat system hardware for the latest set of five vessels as part of the development.

It will also adapt and update the existing combat management system software on-board the first five vessels of the German Navy’s K130 fleet, which were previously supplied under a deal that was originally signed in 2003.

Atlas Elektronik will continue to be responsible for the corvettes’ operational software, while Thales will be responsible for providing an information technology (IT) secure combat system infrastructure.
