Integrated System
The armament on the Fridtjof Nansen-class will include torpedoes and a 76-mm cannon. The vessels will also be equipped with depth charges for anti-submarine warfare, Evolved Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles, and the Norwegian anti-ship missile NSM. The permanently stationed helicopter aboard the vessels can also be equipped with depth charges and torpedoes.
The Integrated Weapon System (IWS is comprised of weapon systems, sensor systems, weapon
control systems, navigation systems and communication systems.
Additionally, the IWS
includes functions for handling onboard helicopter, planning, maintenance and training. The
New Frigate’s (NF’s) main function is to perform antisubmarine warfare (ASW),and above
water warfare (AWW) as a secondary function.
Antisubmarine Warfare
Acoustic sensors, a hull mounted active sonar and an active towed sonar, are used for detection and classification of submarines. These sensors even have capabilities for mine
localisation and torpedo detection and evasion. The NF has two different antisubmarine weapons, Stingray lightweight torpedoes and depth charges. Both can be launched either from
NF or its helicopter. This combination of sensors and weapons provides a good ASW capability.
Above Water Warfare
The main sensor for performing AWW is the SPY-1F phased array radar. The radar has functions for searching, automatic detection and tracking of all types of air objects and surface targets, including own missiles and shells. The IWS has other sensors including the Electronic Support Measure sensor, Electro Optical sensor, navigation sensors, meteorological sensors and IFF.
The primary weapon against air objects is the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile, and for surface objects, antiship missiles. Secondary weapons regarding AWW are guns. The NF has very high resistance to electronic warfare and has several different soft kill weapons. This configuration ensures long range surface capability as well as self-defence against air and surface attacks.
