Developments
Шаблон:Main article The K130 Braunschweig class (sometimes Korvette 130) is Germany's newest class of ocean-going corvettes. Five ships have replaced the Шаблон:Sclass of the German Navy.
They feature reduced radar and infrared signatures ("stealth" beyond the Шаблон:Sclasss) and will be equipped with two helicopter UAVs for remote sensing. The German Navy ordered a first batch of two UMS Skeldar V-200 systems for the use on the Braunschweig-class corvettes.[1] The hangar is too small for standard helicopters, but the pad is large enough for Sea Kings, Lynx, or NH-90s, the helicopters of the German Navy.
The German Navy ordered the RBS-15 Mk4 in advance, which will be a future development of the Mk3 with increased range —Шаблон:Convert— and a dual seeker for increased resistance to electronic countermeasures.[2] The RBS-15 Mk3 has the capability to engage land targets.[3]
In October 2016 it was announced that a second batch of five more frigates is to be procured from 2022 to 2025.[4] The decision was in response to NATO requirements expecting Germany to provide a total of four corvettes at the highest readiness level for littoral operations by 2018, and with only five corvettes just two can be provided.[5]
In September 2017, the German Navy commissioned the construction of five more corvettes in a consortium of North German shipyards. Lürssen are the main contractor in the production of the vessels. The contract is worth around 2 billion euros.[6][7] In April 2018, the German government announced the specific arrangements under which the five new K130s would be built.[8][9]
Construction and career
Augsburg was laid down on 13 July 2021[10] and is currently under construction by Lürssen-Werft in Bremen.
