Concurso de Modernização das VdG e Equipamento dos NPO
O concurso na NSPA com o nome "FFGH MLU/OPV SEWACO " foi reactivado hoje, com prazo de conclusão de 30 de Junho.
Mantém as mesmas características.
Vasco da Gama Class Frigates (VGAM FFGH) are currently in use by the Portuguese Navy.
The VGAM FFGH MLU intends to extend the life cycle of two frigates. For this purpose,
upgrade activities will be performed to the Sensors, Weapons and C4I (further mentioned as
SEWACO) Systems and to Platform systems.
Furthermore, PRT Navy requires to increase the Ocean Patrol Vessels (OPV) fleet to replace
the old Corvettes classes. In that respect, the new construction program for 6 (six) new ships
of the third series (3S) of OPV class has been initiated by PRT Ministry of Defense (MoD).
Upon considering the system requirements for both classes of ships, a significant level of
commonality has been planned. Concurrently, the procurement activities are scheduled within
the same timeframe. This commonality presents various benefits in terms of scale-effect
procurement, cost-effective system engineering, project management, and integrated logistics
support. These advantages include:
- Reduced costs associated with larger scale procurement, designing, manufacturing,
and maintaining different types of equipment.
- Simplified logistics by reducing the logistic dispersion, and thus the range of different
equipment, spare parts, special tools and equipment to provide support.
- Improved interoperability between different types of equipment by enabling them to
share Education & Training, simulators, maintenance resources, spare parts, systems,
or procedures.
Therefore, the systems acquisition programs are decided to be merged
