Federiko Krommendijk, deputy project director for the F126 program, explains Thales's role aboard the future frigates of the German Navy (also known as Fregatte Klasse 126 and previously known as MKS180).

=====================

Damen and Thales signed on November 17, 2020, the contract for the delivery and full integration of Thales’s Mission and Combat System for the four F126 frigates contracted by the German Navy. One of the largest ever in Thales’s history, this contract includes the comprehensive Tacticos Combat Management System and the AWWS (Above Water Warfare System) Fire Control Cluster.

Here are some of the equipment that Thales will be providing:
Tacticos combat management system
Satcom system
APAR Block 2 x-band multifunction radar for AWWS
Gatekeeper 360° IR/TV system
Mirador MK2 EO tracking and observation system
Other equipment (non Thales) that will be fuzed with the Thales systems (Tacticos + AWWS):

Thales’s Mission and Combat System includes the comprehensive Tacticos Combat Management System and the AWWS (Above Water Warfare System) Fire Control Cluster. The contract includes four ship systems, logistic services and multiple land-based test and training sites, as well as the option for two additional ships.
