Arrowhead 140 can be configured to operate independently or integrate with a Task Force to conduct offensive and defensive Surface, Sub-Surface, and Air Warfare.
Developed from the proven Danish Navy’s Iver Huitfeldt frigate, Arrowhead 140 builds on previous real-world NATO, Coalition and US Task Force group operational experience, providing an efficient and highly-effective design solution. The innovative design enables improved capability whilst retaining its proven strengths.
Arrowhead 140 is capable of fulfilling and supporting the global maritime security requirements and representing your strategic and operational interests world-wide.
The design means that the platform can accommodate a range of mission system configurations to meet naval operational and capability needs. Arrowhead 140 is a frigate that can escort carrier strike groups as well as conduct missions on its own.
Designed to provide maximum capability and value for money, Arrowhead 140 uses modular construction and proven and commercially available systems and equipment. Furthermore, Arrowhead employs Babcock’s iFrigate™ technology to reduce through life support costs and maximise platform availability and readiness.
Arrowhead 140’s warfighting architecture can be configured to meet specific requirements. This global frigate has generous design margins to accommodate a variety of capability choices for a broad range of roles, from low-threat security operations to task force escort duties, ensuring it will remain a credible and capable option within an evolving multi-threat maritime environment.
Agility is a core element of the Arrowhead 140 design philosophy. Large re-configurable mission and payload areas onboard can provide flexibility across a range of operational roles, from point and long range area air defence, to HADRO, unmanned systems deployment and operation; detecting enemy submarines and defending convoy ships.
