ORIGINAL: orca There are issues with the FREMM-based FFG(X) which was posted in the Command Modern Operations v1.01 update - Build 1146.1 forum. But I wanted to put it here Here are my suggestions for the units: If there are any suggested corrections or anything I left out please respond. One particular question I have is whether it will have a hull mounted sonar and if yes or likely yes, which type. no hull sonar - variable depth sonar/MFTA only FREMM-based FFG(X) Displacement: 7500 tons7400/7500 Sensors: 3x EASR 2x SLQ-32(V)6 AN/SQS-62 VDS AN/SQR-19B(V)2 TACTAS ESM- unknown type, suggest use generic adv ESM (2020s) AN-SPS-73(V)18 NGSSR (next generation surface radar)- updated version of similar named currently in DB EO/IR- unknown type, suggest highest capability equivalent system in DB, and/or keep SeaFLIR Remove all of the following sensors currently on the unit: AN/SPG-62, AN/SPS-55, furono, MM/SPY-790 EMPAR, RAN-30X/I, MK1 mod 2 ROS, EOMS, EA-2118/AB, RESM, RECM, AN/SQS-62, AN/SQQ-89 (this is a ASW system, not a sonar) this was listed in the requirements seen in previous reply, AN/SQS-62, UMS 4410CL, AN/SQS-63, Kingfisher, SNA-200, AN/UQQ-2 SURTASS, AN/SQQ-28, SNA-200/I acoustic intercept, AN/SLQ-32(V)5, NA-25, RTN-25x, SASS IRST Mounts: AN/SLQ-61 LWT ADC Mk5 Torpedo countermeasure 32cell MK 41 (VL-ASROC, ESSM2, SM-2 Blk IIIC), no SM-3 Strike length, so tomahawk and SM-6 should be loadable. 2x324 Mk32 TT (Mk54 LHT default) I don't think they added tubes, the previous requirements listed this as objective, not mandatory 21 cell RAM Mk110 57mm (with ALaMO ammunition- model AlaMO on 76mm Super Rapido Dart ammo) 2x 12.7mm MG They went all in on the .50s 10-12 in total 4x4 NSM Remove all of the following mounts currently on the unit: 20mm/80 Oerlikon, 324mm TT twin (with MU-90), 76mm/62 OTO Melara, AN/SLQ-25A Magazines: Helicopter magazine -same as most modern Burke Torpedo Magazine [internal tubes] – same as most modern Burke Mk36 SRBOC Mk53 Nukla 12.7mm MG Remove MU-90 external tubes, 20mm/80 Coms/datalinks/other: CEC Link 11,22,16 HF, VHF, UHF, SATCOM AEGIS command datalink Tomahawk command datalink Lamps III ship datalink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFG(X) https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2020/04/fincantieris-fremm-wins-us-navy-ffgx-frigate-competition/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObZzcdzIctc&t=6s long strike VLS, 16 NSMs, and .50 cals in both the physical and computer model, no hull sonar - towed array only. requirements from FFG(X) Update National Symposium –Surface Navy Association Dr. Regan Campbell January 15, 2019 . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFG(X)#/media/File:Proposed_Government_Furnished_Equipment_for_FFG(X).png https://youtu.be/j_h2wvccz0k?t=18 Another ship walk through up to 2 SH-60s, 16 NSMs (made objective), 6000nm range, etc.
