The Next Generation of Multi-Mission Naval Combat PowerRheinmetall today unveiled the GMF140, a next-generation 140-metre, 6,000+ tonne guided missile frigate designed to deliver unmatched capability across the full spectrum of modern naval warfare. Purpose-built for operations in the world’s most demanding threat environments, the GMF140 combines advanced air and ballistic missile defence, anti-submarine warfare and long-range strike capabilities within a highly survivable, digitally integrated and minimum manned platform. The GMF140 is designed to integrate US sourced primary radar options to provide exceptional detection, tracking and engagement performance against conventional air threats, hypersonic weapons and ballistic missiles; the AEGIS Combat System; and 64 Strike-Length Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells, capable of employing the complete family of modern air defence, ballistic missile defence and land-attack missiles. Its design is particularly well suited to nations modernising their fleets in response to increasingly complex security challenges across Europe, the North Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific. Its combination of integrated air and missile defence, ballistic missile defence, anti-submarine warfare and long-range strike capability positions it as one of the most advanced and capable frigates available in its class.
