VT's Norwegian frigate proposal
Article Abstract:
Vosper Thornycroft has communicated details of its proposal for the Royal Norwegian Navy's frigate requirement. The design features a conventional hull with two superstructures. The frigate will be powered by a low-noise diesel and gas turbine combination driving controllable pitch propellers and twin shafts. Complicated signature reduction measures have been applied for all controllable signatures. The frigate's combat management system is built on the established 9LV Mk 3 family and uses a very flexible, distributed processing architecture that will optimize well-proven software.

The quest for accuracy in naval ammunition
Article Abstract:
The development of specialized naval munitions has undergone rapid changes over the past years despite the general lack of change in the design of naval gun systems. Instead of becoming obsolete due to the availability of smart weapons, the gun systems and their munitions continue to be an inexpensive alternative. The systems have also benefited immensely from their commonality with air- and land-based systems, a situation that has reduced their development costs.

The booming world of fast attack craft, corvettes and frigates
Article Abstract:
The market for small- and mid-sized military vessels in the world continues to prosper despite the end of the Cold War and the economic crisis that occurred in the Asia Pacific region. The market has also seen the continued blurring of the distinction between fast attack crafts and corvettes as well as small frigates. The slightly larger military surface ships are now offering advanced weapon capabilities that are better balanced than ever before.
