The FREMM Programme is the most ambitious and innovative European naval defence project. These multirole Frigates, designed to meet the through life requirements of the French and Italian navies in a changing environment, will set new standards for design and build costs.
The management of the development, production and initial In-Service Support phases of this important naval Programme was assigned to OCCAR in 2005. The FREMM programme consists of the construction of of 18 ships: 8 for France, 10 for Italy.
The FREMM will be built in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASM/ASW), Anti-Air Warfare (FREDA) and General Purpose (GP) versions.
The first FREMM was delivered in 2012 and the objective of contractual delivery is 2022 for the whole 18 frigates.
