L3Harris Integrated Mission Systems president Sean Stackley said: “We’re excited by the opportunity to join the Fincantieri Marinette Marine team on the Frigate programme and we look forward to bringing to bear industry-best speed, innovation and affordability as we deliver the advanced integrated capabilities that will ensure the Navy’s ability to operate this ship with impunity upon any sea.”

The FFG 62 multi-mission guided-missile frigate is being developed by Fincantieri Marinette Marine for the US Navy.

Last year, the US Department of Defense awarded a contract to Fincantieri to begin building a new class of guided-missile frigates under the FFG(X) programme. This programme is the service’s first new major shipbuilding programme in more than a decade.

The frigate under the FFG(X) programme will be based on the Italian FREMM multi-mission frigate platform.

It can perform multiple missions, including anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-surface, and electronic warfare.
