The Next Generation Frigate: A Partnership built for the Future.

This is a crucial choice for Norway: the replacement of the Fridtjof Nansen class, which will strengthen the country’s strategic role within NATO. With the MEKO® A-400, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems offers a solution designed to meet and exceed Norway’s high standards.

The MEKO® A-400 is a multi-purpose frigate – a flexible, modular platform that can be tailored for a variety of missions, particularly Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Air and Missile Defense (AMD). This makes it ideally suited to the complex operational requirements of the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic region.

The German-Norwegian partnership is a model of success. The U212CD submarine programme demonstrates how equal partnerships drive technological innovation and industrial synergies, benefiting both nations. Together, Germany and Norway are efficient.

Following the recent initiation of the Frigate F127 procurement by Germany, both nations can extend this shared success story. This partnership creates jobs, drives innovation, and strengthens the industrial foundations of both countries.

As a global leader, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems experiences includes delivering more than 170 submarines and 78 ships, each individually tailored to meet the most demanding conditions. With state-of-the-art production facilities in Kiel and Wismar, and a highly skilled workforce, we deliver bespoke solutions for the most complex challenges.


We are ready!

"With the MEKO® A-400, Germany offers Norway a top-tier solution that is perfectly tailored to its requirements and would take our cooperation to a new level."
