Zitat:Brazil launches first in class F200 Tamandaré frigatehttps://www.naval-technology.com/news/br...e-frigate/
The Tamandaré frigate will protect the 4.5 million square km of Brazil's Blue Amazon strategic territory. [...] The Brazilian Navy has achieved a significant milestone in its fleet modernisation programme with the launch of the first Tamandaré-class frigate, named F200 Tamandaré on 9 August 2024 at the ThyssenKrupp Estaleiro Brasil Sul shipyard in Santa Catarina.
The frigates are a crucial element of the Brazilian Navy’s Corvettes Class Programme (CCT), aimed at enhancing national territorial defence and safeguarding the country’s extensive natural resources. [...] Based on the MEKO A100 design, the Tamandaré-class frigates are multi-mission vessels, featuring a displacement of 3,500 tonnes, a length of 107.2 metres (m), and a draft of 5.2m. The ships incorporate stealth characteristics to minimise radar signature and are designed for a variety of operational roles, including escort duties, maritime traffic protection, and humanitarian missions. [...]
The sensor suite includes state-of-the-art radars such as the Raytheon X- and S-band radars, Hensoldt TRS-4D surveillance radar, and the Thales STIR fire-control radar. [...] Propulsion for the Tamandaré is provided by a two-shaft system integrating MAN and Caterpillar diesel engines, allowing the frigates to achieve a maximum speed of 28 knots.
