In 2017, as part of France’s proposed FTI medium-size frigate programme, Naval Group booked an order for five ships, as replacements for the Navy’s La Fayette-class frigates which entered service between 1996 and 2001. Construction of the first unit is scheduled to start in 2019 for delivery in 2023.
The FTI frigates will be the first variants of Naval Group’s new Belharra family, a range of medium-size warships meeting the emerging needs of international client navies. Belharra frigates will be based on a modular, all-digital platform incorporating breakthrough technologies.
