The German Navy has been planning for some time to procure 18 unmanned surface vessels, known as Future Combat Surface Systems (FCSS), to supplement its corvettes, as well as at least 12 Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (LUUV) to support its submarines. A new class of unmanned vehicles has recently been added: Large Remote Missile Vessels (LRMV). According to a table published as part of its strategic direction document “Kurs Marine”, the navy wants to commission a total of three of these LRMVs by 2035 to supplement its frigates.
