Overview
The AUD$1 billion program to upgrade four FFGs is in response to the rapid advances in technology and subsequent threat throughout the world to our forces.
The FFG Upgrade program was devised to ensure a credible level of area defence and capability against modern sea skimming ship missiles, for existing and emerging threats.
The upgrade of the FFG ships incorporates today's technology to enhance capability and performance while maintaining crew at current levels.
The program will substantially improve:
Offensive capability
Self-defensive capability
Logistic support operations
Crew conditions
Servicing and maintenance operations
Environmental considerations
RAN's Operator Trainer and Team Trainer programs
Additional features and benefits of the FFG Upgrade Program include:
A Warfare Systems Support Centre (WSSC)
A cost-effective, low risk upgrade, by retaining and building upon the RAN's significant investment in FFG infrastructure and proven combat system software
Significantly improved air warfare combat system performance
Significantly improved anti ship missile defence (ASMD)
A fully integrated underwater warfare (UWW) suite
Key elements of the upgrade include:
Enhanced Command and Control capability, providing more effective integration of new and existing sensors and effectors.
Long-range surveillance, target indication and automatic detect and track functions are considerably upgraded, increasing low elevation performance and increased detection range.
The Mk 92 Mod 12 Fire Control System is being improved, providing greater lethality against very small sea-skimming missiles in even high clutter conditions.
New hull mounted sonars and the addition of passive towed array and helicopter sonobuoys serving a multi-layered approach to the detection and classification of torpedoes.
A compact on-board training system, integrated with the existing combat system will be provided, enabling continuation training both in port and at sea to maintain a higher level of FFG operational capability.
