Greece plans mid-life update for Hydra class

Article Abstract:

The Hellenic Navy (HN) of Greece is planning a mid-life update (MLU) for its four MEKO 200HN Hydra-class frigates in service since the 1990s. Modernization of the ships' tactical and communications systems, and enhancement of their anti-air warfare, land-attack, self-defense and electronic warfare capabilities are planned in order to enable them to meet modified requirements necessary for participation in multinational crisis-response operations in littoral and open ocean waters, and also to combat conventional and asymmetric threats.

Interim removable low-frequency active sonar undergoes first operational trials

Article Abstract:

An interim removable low-frequency active sonar system (IRLFAS) underwent its first operational trials installed on the M-frigate HrMs Van Nes, to enable the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) prepare for the expected procurement in 2009 of low-frequency active sonar systems (LFAS) for its other M-frigates. LFAS technologies were studied in relation to a requirement for long-range detection of submarines in shallow waters, while the IRLFAS were designed as a tow system for the active LFAS transducer source.
