Anzac RAN [navy.gov] ★
The RAN’S ANZAC upgrade programme has benefited from a series of incremental update packages. One of the most important has involved the fitting of the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM), which offers improved kinematic performance and a significantly expanded engagement envelope.
In addition, under Project SEA 1348 Phase 3A, all 8 ANZAC ships have received the RGM-84L Harpoon Block II anti-ship missile.
Other changes have included the introduction of the Nulka active missile decoy system (each ANZAC ship has received 4 quad launchers).
An ESM upgrade is bringing Sceptre-A up to a replacement standard known as Centaur; introduction of a multilink capability (adding Link 16 and Variable Message Format datalink capabilities alongside Link 11), and the replacement of the Mk 46 Mod 5 lightweight torpedo with the Eurotorp MU90 Impact torpedo under Joint Project 2070/Project Djimindi.
The ASMD programme, under the umbrella Project SEA 1448 Phase 2, provides a robust area air-defence capability to defeat the latest generation of anti-ship missiles.
Also introduced under SEA 1448 Phase 2B is a new navigation radar system based on 2 Kelvin Hughes SharpEye I-band radars.
There are also aspirations to provide the class with a Long Range Persistent Subsurface Detection Capability under Project SEA 1100 Phase 4. Intended to provide an enhanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability, SEA 100 Phase 4 projects an ability to employ a towed-array sonar.
Royal Australian Navy Project Sea 1657 (Cuttlefish) is a Technology Demonstration Programme (TDP) to develop and demonstrate an advanced counter-surveillance countermeasures capability. The prototype system was taken for live tests by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in 2012.New Zealand
NZ ANZACs [defenseindustrydaily] ★
New Zealand’s Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with MBDA for the procurement of the Sea Ceptor anti-air guided weapon system to satisfy the Local Area Air Defence component of the Royal New Zealand Navy’s ANZAC Frigate Systems upgrade project.
Compared with the Australian ANZAC Frigates, the RNZN’s 2 vessels have been the subject of only modest combat system upgrades. Examples include the installation of the Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS) and the addition of the Mini-Typhoon/Toplite package for force protection against asymmetric threats.
The Frigate Systems Upgrade (FSU) project covers the upgrade of the surveillance, combat and self-defence capabilities of the New Zealand ANZAC frigates. It includes the replacement of CMS hardware and software, new radars, electronic detection and other above-water sensors, improved anti-ship missile decoys, a torpedo defence system, an upgrade to the hull-mounted sonar, and the replac ement of the RIM-7P NATO SeaSparrow point-defence missile system with a more capable Local Area Air Defence (LAAD) system (Sea Ceptor).
Integral to the upgraded frigates’ combat system will be a new Lockheed Martin Canada CMS known as CMS 330.Philippines
Hamilton-class cutters PN [China] ★
The Phillippine Navy (PN) is planning further upgrades for its 2 ex-US Coast Guard Hamilton-class cutters, including upgrades for navigation, propulsion, communication, surveillance, and weapon systems.
The PN is also splanning to fit the vessels with an anti-submarine warfare capability and surface-to-surface missiles, although funding limitations may determine the full extent of the modernisation programme.
AAW Upgrades for 2 Frigates were included in the 2013 budget. 6 AAW Frigates are included in the 15 year plan.Germany
Brandenburg Class Frigates [militaryimages] ★
The Phase III Upgrade (2012-2016) of the 4 Brandenburg Class Frigates includes an improved AAW Capability incorporating the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM). Germany may become the first European nation to embark on integrating the Raytheon Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) onto its naval vessels.
The Ship Infra-Red Monitoring, Observation and Navigation Equipment (SIMONE) is being delivered for the F.125 Frigates of the German Navy.UK
Type 23 HMS [defesaaereanaval] ★
The Daring class destroyer, HMS Daring, has begun a capability upgrade in Portsmouth, during which it will be the first of 4 of the 6 Daring-class ships to receive 2 quadruple Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers recycled from decommissioned RN Type 22 frigates. A Type 45 BMD capability upgrade is also planned.
The Future Local Area Air Defence System (FLAADS) - Sea Ceptor, is under development. It will be fitted on the planned Type 26 frigates.
EW Requirements include: the increased digitisation of RESM equipment; the need for advanced RF, IR and EO countermeasures; and a desire to integrate various soft-kill components under software control.
The ACCOLADE technology demonstration programme, is a joint UK/France effort for the development of a new, Active Radar Frequency Decoy. The demonstration concluded in 2014.
Under a separate TPD known as ELOPE, Thales UK in Belfast was contracted to investigate a future EO/laser countermeasure. ELOPE is intended to de-risk technologies for a future MIDAS increment.
Maritime Integrated Defensive Aids Suite (MIDAS): this programme has been superceded in the U.K. by the DAS-SS programme - the current fixed, 6-barrel decoy launchers would also be replaced with a new generation launcher.
Type 23 Capability Sustainment Programme (CSP)
DAS-SS: the Type 23 is expected to get the new decoy launcher and the decoys that will emerge from the various MIDAS-related work streams.
MEWSS/UAT spiral development will roll in progressive improvements to the Electronic Warfare Support Systems, and under Future Maritime Radar Electronic Surveillance (FMRES) the ships will be fitted with the latest fully digital Radar Electronic Support Measures (RESM) already being fitted to the Type 45 Destroyer.

Colombian Navy’s Almirante Padilla-class frigate [Wikimedia] ★
The Colombian Navy’s Almirante Padilla-class frigate upgrade programme includes installation of a Smart-S Mk 2 3D surveillance radar, Sting-EO Mk 2 radar/EO system, Mirador EO fire control system, VIGILE 200S electronic warfare system, SKWS communications systems, and Terma decoy launchers.
Thales has also upgraded the Altesse intelligence/communication system on the four frigates of the class.
The Colombian Navy commissioned its second 1,723-tonne 20 de Julio-class ocean patrol vessel on the 17th March, the 7 de Agosto which is armed with twin 40 mm guns, a 20 mm gun, and two .50 cal remote weapon stations (RWS).
The Colombian Navy expects to buy a total of six OPV 80s by 2019, and unconfirmed reports suggest that the navy is undertaking studies to equip its future OPVs with surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missile systems.
2 LSDs are planned for procurement, with an armament which includes 2 20 mm guns and a close-in weapon system (CIWS).Indonesia
KCR Clurit TNI AL ★
The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut [TNI-AL]) has fitted 2 of its KCR-40-class anti-ship missile craft with the AK-630 close-in weapon systems (CIWS).
Based on its performance on Clurit and Kujang, the AK-630 may be mounted on the other TNI-AL KCR-40-class missile craft.
The Indonesian Navy’s (TNI-AL’s) new Klewang-class missile patrol craft will incorporate a radar with wider coverage, missiles with longer range and a new composite material hull, compared to the class’ original design.
The trimaran will also include Saab’s new Sea Giraffe 1X 3D compact radar and be armed with 4 RBS15 Mk3 surface-to surface missiles.
The ship’s radar and weapons will be managed via a Saab 9LV Mk4 combat management system (CMS), which includes the CEROS 200 air defence fire control director.
The Indonesian Navy will equip a total of 4 Ahmad Yani (Van Speijk)-class guided missile frigates and one Kapitan Pattimura (Parchin I)-class corvette with low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) radars.
Up to 20 locally built 2,400 tonne frigates are planned to be acquired, based on the SIGMA 10514 design, from 2017. These will be fitted with anti-air missiles.
