Spartan – A contender for the Type 31 Frigate?
By
George Allison -
July 5, 2017

Steller Systems is offering Project Spartan, a ‘configurable, modular, survivable, affordable and exportable ship’, to the Type 31 Frigate programme.

The company say they have focused on packing as much UK industrial capability and UK equipment into the vessel, benefiting the Royal Navy and the UK as a whole.

The company add that the Nodal Modular Physical Architecture approach to the design allows for configurable options. Each node has the ability to accept different systems; for example a customer may wish to have a simple 30mm Small Calibre Gun system in place of the forward Mk41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), or place a SeaRAM or Phalanx in this position.

(...SNIPPED)

Packed with British equipment - so no exports expected. Seems to be armed with Harpoon. Unless I missed something that is due to be retired next year with no replacement. Maybe the MoD has changed its mind about that?
