FREMM multipurpose frigate#Egypt

Three original variants of the FREMM were proposed; an anti-submarine variant (ASW) and a general-purpose variant (GP) and a land-attack variant (AVT) to replace the existing classes of frigates within the French and Italian navies. A total of 27 FREMM were to be constructed (17 for France and 10 for Italy) with additional aims to seek exports. However, budget cuts and changing requirements saw this number drop significantly for France, while the order for Italy remained unchanged. The land-attack variant (AVT) was subsequently cancelled.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

A third anti-air warfare variant of FREMM was proposed by DCNS in response to French requirements for a new air-defence frigate, the new variant became known as FREDA ("FREgates de Défense Aériennes", "Air defence frigate"). This new French requirement was due to the third and fourth {{sclass2|Horizon|frigate|1}}s being cancelled after the first two cost €1.35B each, but this decision left French Navy still in-need of replacements for its aging {{sclass|Cassard|frigate|0}} air-defence frigates.{{cite news |url=http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/55295 |title=FREMM : 11 frégates multi-missions pour la flotte française |date=26 October 2008 |newspaper=Mer et Marine |language=fr |access-date=23 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921054753/http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/55295 |archive-date=21 September 2013 |url-status=live}}

As of 2009, the FREDA design features a more powerful version of the Héraklès passive electronically scanned array radar and 32 cells of SYLVER A50 vertical launch system in place of the 16 cells of A43 and 16 cells of A70. The SYLVER A50 would allow it to fire the {{convert|120|km|adj=on}}-range Aster 30 missile. While at one point it was determined that the towed array sonar would not be fitted, this has subsequently been retained on the FREDA design.{{cite news |url=http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/52591 |title=Frégates : Le point sur les futures FREDA |date=12 October 2009 |newspaper=Mer et Marine |language=fr |access-date=23 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606223455/http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/52591 |archive-date=6 June 2014 |url-status=live}}

At Euronaval 2012 DCNS showed a new concept called FREMM-ER for the FREDA requirement, again based on the FREMM, but specifically mentioning the ballistic missile defense mission as well as anti-air warfare. FREMM-ER has a modified superstructure replacing Héraklès with the new Thales Sea Fire 500 radar, whose four fixed plates resemble those of the US Navy's AN/SPY-1.{{cite web |url=http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=716 |title=DCNS to unveil new FREMM Frigate variant, updated BRAVE supply ship design at Euronaval 2012 |date=4 October 2012 |work=Navy Recognition |access-date=23 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130118072944/http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=716 |archive-date=18 January 2013 |url-status=live}} However, unlike the Héraklès and the SPY-1 (both using passive electronically scanned array technology), the Sea Fire 500 has active electronically scanned array antennas.{{cite web |url=http://www.frontline-defence.com/index_archives.php?page=2105 |title=Extending Navy Capabilities FREMM-ER |work=FrontLine Defence |issue=4 |last=Nodwell |first=Bethan |date=2013 |access-date=24 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025043717/http://www.frontline-defence.com/index_archives.php?page=2105 |archive-date=25 October 2014 |url-status=dead}}

Initial planning assumptions for the Italian Navy are ten FREMM-IT (four ASW variants and six GP variants) at a cost of €5.9 billion. FREMM-IT will replace the {{sclass|Maestrale|frigate|5}} and {{sclass|Lupo|frigate|0}} frigates in service with the Italian Navy.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

In the 2013 Italian budget, the Italian government laid out the necessary financing for two more GP variants (FREMM-IT 7 & 8) and the contract was awarded in September 2013. On 15 April 2015, the Italian Parliament confirmed the deal between OCCAR and Orizzonte Sistemi Navali Spa (Fincantieri and Finmeccanica, since 2017 Leonardo) to begin building units 9 and 10, for 764 million Euros.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

As of 16 April 2015, the Italian government has approved funding for all ten FREMM-IT to be delivered to the Italian Navy (four ASW variants and six GP variants).{{cite web|url=https://www.fincantieri.com/en/products-and-services/naval-vessels/bergamini-class/|title=Fincantieri - Bergamini Class|website=fincantieri.com|access-date=11 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629074232/https://www.fincantieri.com/en/products-and-services/naval-vessels/bergamini-class/|archive-date=29 June 2018|url-status=live}} FREMM-IT 9 & 10 will have undisclosed enhanced capabilities. All ten Italian FREMM-ITs have extended AAW capabilities, with SAAM-ESD CMS, Aster 30 and Aster 15 missiles for extended area defence. SAAM-ESD CMS use Leonardo MFRA, a 3D active radar (AESA), an evolved version of the Leonardo EMPAR PESA radar (previously embarked on Horizon-class destroyers and the {{ship|Italian aircraft carrier|Cavour||2}}). Since the seventh FREMM-IT, there will be updates, such as new conformal IFF antenna and much more stealth response. Since the ninth FREMM-IT, SCLAR-H was replaced with Leonardo ODLS-20. In 2017 the Italian FREMM refit started with the installation on each of two SITEP MS-424 acoustic guns.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

In 2020 Italy sold its last two FREMM-class frigates in the current production line (Spartaco Schergat and Emilio Bianchi) to Egypt. Spartaco Schergat was in the final stage of her sea trials while Emilio Bianchi would follow within one year. The deal reportedly also involved other military equipment and was worth 1.2 billion USD.{{cite web |url=https://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/2020/october/9070-egypt-would-have-signed-an-order-with-italy-for-the-delivery-of-two-fremm-frigates.html |title=Egypt would have signed an order with Italy for the delivery of two FREMM frigates |date=October 2020 |work=navyrecognition.com |access-date=19 June 2021 }} Italy then order two additional FREMM frigates to replace those transferred to Egypt with the anticipated delivery of the replacements by 2025, with a new GP&ASW enhanced configuration, named GP-e.{{cite web |url=https://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/feature/5/212739/italian-minister-confirms-sale-of-two-frigates-to-egypt%3B-two-more-may-follow.html |title=Italian Minister Confirms Sale of Two Frigates to Egypt |last=Di Briganti |first=Giovanni |work=defense-aerospace.com |date=30 July 2020 |access-date=19 June 2021}}

On 31 July 2024 Italy ordered to OCCAR, for 1,5 billion Euros, another two FREMM (bringing class fleet to twelve vessels), named FREMM-EVO, based on FREMM-ASW hull with several changes: PPA's dual-band integrated X- & C-band radar, ATBM capability with Aster 30B1NT missiles, CAPTAS-4 variable depth sonar (VDS), two Lionfish 30 mm autocannons to replace 25/80 mm, etc.{{cite web | title = Italy's New FREMM EVO Breaks Cover | url = https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/euronaval-2024/2024/11/euronaval-2024-italys-new-fremm-evo-breaks-cover/ | date = 2024-11-04 | first = Luca | last = Peruzzi | work = Naval News }}{{cite web | title = Italy signs contract for two FREMM EVO frigates | first = Lee | last = Willett | url = https://www.armadainternational.com/2024/08/italy-signs-contract-for-two-fremm-evo-frigates/ | date = 2024-08-09 | work = Armada International | publisher = Media Transasia (Thailand) Co., Ltd }}

The original plan was for 17 FREMM to replace the nine {{sclass|D'Estienne d'Orves|aviso|0}} avisos and nine anti-submarine frigates of the {{sclass|Tourville|frigate|5}} and {{sclass|Georges Leygues|frigate|4}}es. In November 2005 France announced a contract of €3.5 billion for development and the first eight hulls, with options for nine more costing €2.95 billion split over two tranches (totaling 17).{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

Following the cancellation of the third and fourth of the Horizon-class frigates in 2005 on budget grounds, requirements for an air-defence derivative of the FREMM called FREDA were placed – with DCNS coming up with several proposals.{{cite news |url=http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/58043 |title=FREMM : Supprimer des frégates, un non sens économique et stratégique? |date=19 September 2007 |newspaper=Mer et Marine |language=fr |access-date=23 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130518021529/http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/imprimer-article/58043 |archive-date=18 May 2013 |url-status=live}} Expectations were that the last two ships of the 17 FREMM planned would be built to FREDA specifications; however, by 2008 the plan was revised down to just 11 FREMM (9 ASW variants and 2 FREDA variants) at a cost of €8.75 billion (FY13, ~US$12 billion).{{cite web |url=http://www.senat.fr/rap/a14-110-8/a14-110-819.html#toc308 |title=Projet de loi de finances pour 2015 : Défense : équipement des forces |language=fr |publisher=Senate of France |date=20 November 2014 |access-date=22 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216190220/http://www.senat.fr/rap/a14-110-8/a14-110-819.html#toc308 |archive-date=16 December 2014 |url-status=live}} The 11 ships would cost €670 million (~US$760m) each in FY2014, or €860m (~US$980m) including development costs.

The 2013 White Paper on Defence and National Security committed France to 15 front-line frigates,{{cite web |url=http://www.defense.gouv.fr/english/content/download/206186/2393586/file/White%20paper%20on%20defense%20%202013.pdf |title=White Paper on Defense and National Security 2013 |page=91 |date=29 April 2013 |publisher=Ministère de la Défense |access-date=24 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140928152628/http://www.defense.gouv.fr/english/content/download/206186/2393586/file/White%20paper%20on%20defense%20%202013.pdf |archive-date=28 September 2014 |url-status=live}} which was initially interpreted as 2 Horizons, 5 {{sclass|La Fayette|frigate|5}}s and a reduction in the FREMM fleet down to 8 ships. The 2014–2019 defence plan restated a target of 11 frigates;{{cite web |url=http://www.infosdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/LPM-DT.pdf |title=Projet De Loi De programmation Militarie 2014/2019 |publisher=Ministère de la Défense |date=August 2013 |access-date=24 October 2014 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034916/http://www.infosdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/LPM-DT.pdf |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead}} of which six ASW FREMM variants would be delivered to replace the Georges Leygues-class frigates by 2019, followed by two anti-air variants to replace the ageing Cassard-class frigates and a decision was to have been taken in 2016 on what version the remaining three would be. In 2014, the French Navy's Chief of Staff, Admiral Bernard Rogel, confirmed that 11 FREMM frigates had been ordered{{cite news |url=http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/content/amiral-rogel-conserver-un-outil-efficace-et-adapte-aux-menaces-de-demain |title=Amiral Rogel : " Conserver un outil efficace et adapté aux menaces de demain " |language=fr |work=Mer et Marine |date=29 October 2014 |access-date=30 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150511130608/http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/content/amiral-rogel-conserver-un-outil-efficace-et-adapte-aux-menaces-de-demain |archive-date=11 May 2015 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription}} but in 2015 the order was cut to 8 in order to allow for the introduction of five FTI mid-Size frigates from 2024.{{cite web |url=http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2747 |title=Update to French Military Planning Law Means New Capabilities for Lafayette Class Frigates |work=Navy Recognition|date=21 May 2015 |access-date=8 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909173640/http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2747 |archive-date=9 September 2015 |url-status=live}} The FTI will replace the La Fayette class in "first-rank" roles, with three of the La Fayettes also being fitted with active sonar and other improvements so as to extend their service life into the early 2030s.

On 16 April 2021 the French Navy received Alsace, the first of the two air defence FREMM frigates ordered. The primary role of the air defence frigates is conducting the anti-aircraft defense of critical units such as the {{ship|French aircraft carrier|Charles de Gaulle}} and Mistral class landing helicopter docks. Besides being equipped with Aster 15 and Aster 30 surface-to-air missiles, the ship holds Exocet MM 40 anti-ship missiles and the MU 90 torpedo system.{{Cite web|last=Vavasseur|first=Xavier|date=16 April 2021|title=Naval Group Delivers First Air Defense FREMM 'Alsace' to the French Navy|url=https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/04/naval-group-delivers-first-air-defense-fremm-alsace-to-the-french-navy/|access-date=22 April 2021|website=Naval News}}{{Cite web|last=Mackenzie|first=Christina|date=16 April 2021|title=Naval Group delivers French frigate with bolstered capabilities|url=https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2021/04/16/naval-group-delivers-french-frigate-with-bolstered-capabilities/|access-date=22 April 2021|website=Defense News}}{{Cite web|title=French Navy Receives First Air Defence FREMM Frigate|url=https://www.defenseworld.net/news/29384/French_Navy_Receives_First_Air_Defence_FREMM_Frigate#.YIHV2i1h1QI|access-date=22 April 2021|website=defenseworld.net}}

On 10 July 2017, it was reported that the United States Congress was interested in foreign designs such as the Fincantieri FREMM for the US Navy's FFG(X) Program.{{cite web |url=http://breakingdefense.com/2017/07/navy-steers-well-away-from-an-lcs-frigate |title=Navy Steers Well Away From An LCS Frigate |publisher=Breaking Defense |last=Freedberg |first=Sydney J. |date=10 July 2017 |access-date=14 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171024200912/https://breakingdefense.com/2017/07/navy-steers-well-away-from-an-lcs-frigate/ |archive-date=24 October 2017 |url-status=live}} According to Representative Rob Wittman, chairman of the United States House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces, the US Congress was comfortable with models such as Fincantieri's partnership with Lockheed Martin to build the {{sclass|Freedom|littoral combat ship|5}} version of the littoral combat ship (LCS).{{cite web |url=http://www.defensenews.com/naval/2017/09/01/as-the-service-looks-to-fill-capabilities-gaps-the-us-navy-is-keeps-an-eye-overseas |title=The US Navy eyes foreign designs |work=Defense News |last=Larter |first=David B. |date=1 September 2017 |access-date=14 October 2017}} If the Italian FREMM design is selected, the Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin, part of the Fincantieri group, would build the guided-missile frigates. Marinette Marine is best known for the US Navy Freedom-class LCS. On 16 February 2018, Fincantieri Marine was one of five companies awarded a $15 million contract for conceptual design of FFG(X), which the Navy would evaluate over 16 months ahead of a final request for proposal in 2019 and contract award in 2020.{{Cite news|url=https://news.usni.org/2018/02/16/navy-picks-five-contenders-next-generation-frigate-ffgxprogram|title=Navy Picks Five Contenders for Next Generation Frigate FFG(X) Program|publisher=U.S. Naval Institute|access-date=16 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217001950/https://news.usni.org/2018/02/16/navy-picks-five-contenders-next-generation-frigate-ffgxprogram|archive-date=17 February 2018|url-status=live}}
