The US Navy has innovated a new multi-mission Guided Missile Frigate which is able to sense enemy targets from far away distances, utilize new networking and ISR technologies, fire next generation precision weaponry, operate unmanned systems and withstand technically advanced enemies in open or "blue" water combat, according to service statement.
Over the years, the service has been enhancing and analyzing design, sensors and weapons concept for the new ship, called FFG (X). The Navy expects to execute development and eventually deploy the new ship in the early mid-2020s.
Again, the service statements analysis that the new weapons and sensors will enable the ship to eliminate swarming small boat attacks, conduct disaggregated operations, attack enemies with an over-the-horizon missile, support carrier strike group, and engage in advanced surface and anti-submarine warfare.
