The ships that make up the 31st Escoltas Squad are of the new class "Alvaro de Bazan," of modern design and remarkable military capabilities. With them the Navy hopes to contribute to the achievement of the National Defense objectives for the first part of this new century. The Squad is made up of frigates: Alvaro de Bazan, Admiral Juan de Borbón, Blas de Lezo, Méndez Núñez and Cristóbal Colón.

Its ability to be present in all kinds of scenarios, with the security provided by its AEGIS combat system, makes it a valuable tool in the service of the foreign policy of the Government of the Nation, not only through conventional operations, but also in peace, humanitarian or United Nations resolutions.

Caractericas Fragatas F-100

The F-100 Fragatas project involves important challenges, including:

  • To have an Aegis System, around the SPY-1D radar, which so far was mounted on type-destroyer or cruise ships, of much greater displacement.
  • To integrate for the first time the national sensors and weapons that constitute the rest of the ship's Combat System into the Aegis system.
  • Other specific developments such as the Navigation Data Distribution Network (DIANA) or the Integrated Platform Control System.
