FDI, an operational and combat-ready frigate

The FDI frigate, selected by the Swedish Ministry of Defense, is a next-generation frigate, ready for combat and versatile, equipped with proven capabilities in all areas of warfare, particularly with powerful anti-air capabilities based on the ASTER system. The FDI is capable of facing current and emerging threats in the demanding seas of the High North and challenging environments such as the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. The frigate will provide the Swedish Royal Navy with extensive capabilities to support the country’s key role in naval operations with allies and NATO. The frigates will strengthen the Swedish naval forces and play a key role in protecting the country.

With two units already delivered to the French and Hellenic navies and a fully proven production line, the FDI meets Sweden’s requirements for rapid delivery, ensuring a strengthening of naval capabilities in a context where speed is crucial.

A strengthened strategic partnership between Sweden and France

With the FDI program for Sweden, Naval Group is committed to supporting the Swedish Royal Navy and intensifying its cooperation with industrial and R&D partners of the Ministry of Defense through a structured and long-term industrial partnership. We look forward to working with our Swedish partners to successfully complete this major program.
