thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) and Saab Australia will explore opportunities for collaboration on the MEKO A-200 frigate platform, which TKMS is offering for the A$10 billion Australian General Purpose Frigate program.
The collaboration will leverage Saab’s Australian Combat System (AusCMS) already in service across the Royal Australian Navy's surface fleet. The AusCMS provides enterprise-level interoperability, training, sustainment and operational benefits, contributing to the sovereign capability of Australia’s defence industry.
The MoU was formalised at the Consulate-General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Sydney in the presence of Vice Admiral Carsten Stawitzki, Director-General for Armaments in the German Federal Ministry of Defense, who emphasised the strategic value of such partnerships.
“Collaborations like this one show how international industry partnerships can strengthen national defence capabilities,” Stawitzki noted.
"Having previously delivered the ANZAC frigates to the Royal Australian Navy and supported similar projects across 16 navies – including six NATO members – thyssenkrupp Marine Systems continues to demonstrate its commitment to sovereign shipbuilding partnerships," said TKMS.
