There is a lot of movement in the maritime fleet of the Defence Technical Service 71. Two more multi-purpose boats are due for delivery in the coming year. The Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Schiffe und Marinewaffen, Maritime Technologie und Forschung, WTD 71, is looking forward to replacing three boats in its fleet. On 22 July last year, the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) commissioned the Fassmer shipyard to manufacture and deliver two sea trials coastal measuring boats. They will take the place of the class 745 multi-purpose boats, Breitgrund and Mittelgrund, and the class 741 Wilhelm Pullwer barrage weapon test boat. The capabilities of the predecessors will also...

In recent years, the German submarines have actively contributed to improving submarine hunting procedures. The knowledge gained will also benefit the future frigates 126. Last year, the 1st submarine squadron deployed two submarines simultaneously on two different missions. In addition, a fleet service boat and the MAIN submarine support unit with a command staff were also deployed for just over 70 days. In both very different missions, our weapon systems were able to fully convince as individual operators, but above all in combination. The simultaneous integration of a submarine and a fleet service boat into a sensor reconnaissance network for the first time in 2020 and 2021...

The construction of the future German frigate class is making good progress. The client and shipyard are cooperating at a high level. The F 126 project - formerly MKS 180 - reached the most important milestone in its realisation to date on 19 June 2020 after a multi-year award procedure in the European competition: the conclusion of the construction contract with the Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding shipyard. The project is currently focussing on the ongoing construction work. These are expected to progress to such an extent that production can begin at the end of 2023 and the keel can be laid for the first ship at the beginning of 2024. The construction contract provides for the procurement of four units as well as an option for two additional units for...

An unmanned aerial system (UAS) was planned for the Korvette 130 at an early stage. This was initially aimed at the realisation of the SAATEG VTOL (Strategic Imaging Reconnaissance in the Depth of the Operational Area - Vertical Take-off and Landing), which was to be supplied by the Swiss company Schiebel. A joint introduction with the was considered in phases, as land-based deployment was also planned. Various unfulfilled requirement criteria, such as the use of the standard ship's...
