The new fregatten around 2025 have ended up at the first stage of the route which must take before to the replacement of current two M-fregatten. Already longer studies are done to the new ships, but meanwhile are themselves the substitute M-fregatten, just like the new onderzeeboten, at the need interview stage. That answered defence today on questions of Marineschepen.nl.

in November 2013 was already shown one of the designs of the future fregat. Previous year during a symposium also tipje of the sluier were lifted, but the substitute M-fregatten was himself not yet at the first stage of defence material process (DMP). It remained quiet and also previous year summer was there according to the ministry of defence no communicate news concerning the replacement programme.
Today a spokesman of minister of defence answered Jeanine them niche on questions of Marineschepen.nl that the substitute M-fregatten meanwhile at the a stage of the DMP has ended up. There is therefore progress, continued the spokesman, but the need interview phase is still going on. After wind up of this the House of Commons concerning the results of this it is informed and afterwards defence the media will inform.
That the substitute M-fregatten at the a stage has not ended up means that is certain that the new ships come there also really. Everything depend on the decision-making in the House of Commons. However, it means that there is money now more for research and staff for the project work. At the a stage the emphasis lies then on the need interview. Thus the requirements are formulated where the new fregatten must to satisfy. The phase is concluded with a a letter. That is the first moment that the second Member of Parliament oaths concerning the nieuwbouwplannen can bend itself.

little time, little haste
when minister them niche expects the a letter to send, has not been confessed. Much time is not there, because four (Dutch and Belgian) of original M-fregatten must consider replace the new fregatten. The ships tribes from the nineties are already tijdje to for becoming obsolete and the question is if they can sail also after 2025 still. Even that year is very ambitious, but little haste had in any case made defence since 2013 on the fregattendossier.
Initially the new fregatten in 2020, must be able sail, which were postponed up to 2023 by them niche and in 2015, once more with at least one year. Having regard to the doorlooptijden of projects, we must take into account that the new fregatten just end twenties available to be.
International cooperation
complicating factor is moreover also the wish tackle the nieuwbouw internationally. That is haste necessary because two M-fregatten of Belgium form and two of the Netherlands one of the pillars of Belgisch-Nederlandse the Navy amen functioning. As confessed these fregatten in the Netherlands are maintained and the mine hunters in Belgium. That is possible because both countries the same have ships.
Just like in the Netherlands is there in Belgium nothing certainly concerning materieelprojecten in the future. Previous year seemed it several keren that Belgium wants take farewell of the fregatten. Nevertheless its both countries now together in search of opvolging of M-fregatten.
Cooperation with Germany was also one of the options. But the future German fregat MKS180, which found also the Netherlands a lot interesting, grew to a ship with a water displacement of no less than maximum 10,000 barrels, three times larger than current M-fregat. That became much too large for the substitute of M-fregat.
Flexible onderzeebootbestrijdingsfregatten
where now or of think the Netherlands and Belgium, must become clear from the a letter where the functionalities will stand in. Toch is, however, what confessed concerning in which direction is thought if it concerns the new ships.
Partly appears that from the words of the commander of the Belgian Navy, flotilla admiral Georges Heeren, in the booklet Naval Forces of May this year. Heeren say in that Article which is not gezocht to a real multipurpose ship because he fears that the result is a fregat that much are possible, but nowhere real well in is. Moreover such a ship will become too large and too expensive.
In place of it it must be a fregat that high in the violence spectrum, with the emphasis on onderzeebootbestrijding, but that can operate can be also thanks to modular systems very flexible.
The first two requirements also returns in Article energy is a weapon: on gone to energie-efficiënte the schip' in the Navy booklet of September 2015. The authors outline the overall requirements of the future fregat: primary onderzeebootbestrijding (long-term, worldwide and in the whole violence spectrum), secondary maritime beveiligingstaken and granting maritime assistance, robust maintaining against attacks from air, as from sea and as from land. Finally the new fregatten have a small basis crew of 100 function places according to the authors.
Robust maintaining is important for future fregatten, because by the decreasing number of ships the expectation is that entities in always smaller numbers must operate. These fregatten must therefore improve their own protection are able ensure, because there possible no other ships are available.
