German expertise for Spain's frigates

Rohde & Schwarz Spain has supplied communication systems to the Spanish Navy and Navantia for the first of the Navy's new F110 frigates.

The F110 frigates of the Bonifaz class will replace the Santa Maria class and are intended for a wide range of maritime security and defence tasks. Rohde & Schwarz Spain has supplied a comprehensive external communication system that integrates modern HF and VHF/UHF technologies. Rohde & Schwarz Spain supplied a communication system with R&S Series4100 HF and Series4400 VHF/UHF as well as comprehensive engineering and logistics services. The collaboration between Rohde & Schwarz, Navantia Sistemas and the F110 programme office has enabled the development, which combines the latest technologies and optimised maintenance procedures. Rohde & Schwarz Spain has already equipped numerous platforms for the Spanish Navy.
