To be built by state-owned firm Navantia, the F-110 frigates are expected to replace the Spanish Navy’s six Santa María-class frigates (F-80) from 2022 until 2030.

Indra is currently working with Navantia in the PROTEC F110 R&D programme to equip the new Spanish vessel with a novel mast, which will be designed to house all of the frigate’s sensors.

In addition, Indra is supporting the development of primary radars for aerial and surface surveillance; the secondary radar or IFF system; the RESM and communications systems, and their countermeasure systems; and the Link 16 communications system.

All of these systems will be integrated into the Navantia SCOMBA combat system.
