- Capt. Per Hesselberg, the former program manager of the Royal Danish Navy's three Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates who is now the commander of Naval Base Korsoer, discusses the design philosophy behind the novel warships with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian. The interview took place in the engine room of HDMS Peter Willemoes -- one of three Iver Huitfeldt frigates -- during the ship's recent visit to Baltimore.
Cannot praise enough the Danish Navy’s efforts to design, test and build the Iver Huitfeldt Class Frigates with such modern capabilities at such a relatively modest cost. Their pragmatic approach to use existing components and re-use proven weapons systems shows the world that you don’t have to blow $$ billions to build an effective fleet of frigates. Logic and common sense would tell us that our Navy should adopt the design approaches and philosophy used by the Danish to build these frigates. The burdensome “not invented here” used by our designers and navy planners gets in our way to build frigates. The Iver Huitfeldt Class Frigates have over capacity with respect to power generation, fiber optics cables for future IT upgrades, extra space in the engine rooms w/ a workshop located close by and uses existing engine, mechanical and electrical systems that have been proven in commercial vessels. Pragmatic, ergonomic, practical and workable all describe these frigates. These are qualities U.S. taxpayers would greatly appreciate.
The interviewer is really doing a great job
And now a new manifestation of this amazingly designed ship in the form of the Arrowhead 140 by Babcock for the Royal Navy.
The U.S. DOD could learn a lot from the Danish Navy about designing, building and delivering a ship of such capabilities for a relatively
Modest cost and on time. We have been programmed-indeed brainwashed-to believe unless we throw $$ billions at a class of ships it
Cannot be good or effective. The Danish have got this ship right.
The Danes have a lot to show us on how to successfully build a proper Support Ship and a Frigate. Everything the LCS should be but isn't.
LCS is bad ass looking. That is the most important. Good for export showcase. And if real fight begins. US Navy have plenty of Arleigh Burke and SSN.
Well, we have more than one.....
Prob with that...!!??
The Danish Navy actually offered the STANFLEX system for the US Navy but the USN rejected it in favor of trying to develop their own system, which failed. Meanwhile STANFLEX is used on all current Danish ships and has been exported to Portugal as well.
Great video, with a lot of nice information. Well done with the interview, on both sides.
Smart modular design, plus use of proven commercial off the self products. Well done sir.
Impressive vessel. I doubt very much that 30 knots is it's fastest speed with four diesels running. However, they could never admit her true fastest speed.
Canada is going through a fiasco with the design and construction of its own new warships and they never seem to stop and look around at what other nations have done. The Danes have a lot to show and teach.
Yeah its kinda sad. I don't know why we don't just copy and build upon existing european designs. At the current pace, our ship will still be on drawing boards while the existing fleet rust away
You can just order a few from Denmark - we are ready.
42--45 knots, and with full speed around 50 knots....!!
And, in milli terms, it is called, A heavy armed fast Fregate/Destroyer........
The armemend is AWESOME....!!!
The ship has four diesel...
With One engine, it can sail 18-20 knots....
There is four....
But they dont tell...!!
Below, there is guided torpedoes.....
They can hit a taget up to 10-15 miles away....
The long range gun in front, can hit a target about 20 miles away, with 30 kilos projektiles, 20 per minute ....
And it is rader controlled, so it can hit within one meter....
The fast shooting Oerlikon gun in the front, is shootting with 60 rounds per sec...!!
Weight half a kilo each....!!
It can move from left to right, up and down, so it can hit ALL, planes, what so ever....
There is one in each end....!!!
They can also be radercontrolled/is....!!
On board, there is also a chopper,or two, a so called " rescuechopper "....
But they are also armed with a lot of nasty thinks.....
DONT mess with that ship...!
DONT...!!
( plus around more than 100 missiles, there can take out ANYTHING )....!
AND its look good...!!§
I think you Brits should buy one, or ten....
Denmark has four...!!
And some 50-60 other warships....
Just ONE, can take out all Germans fleet or the Scandinavian fleet.....
But we dont, they are our friends....!!
Wrong.Sweden is not our friends. They promised to help us against the germans in 1964, but the cowards never came. They supported the nazis in ww2 with iron and transportation to fight in Norway. Time to get revenge..
@@sydvestjyden2095 1964??? dafuk?
This is fantastic, I like . Lars
Fine interview.
On one engine it can sail over 9000 nmi at 18 knots. Remarkable. Arleigh Burke can manage 4400 nmi at 20 knots but I bet the fuel consumption is way higher too. I am not surprised the Royal Navy chose this hull for its Type 31 Class.
SIR URE CHANEL IS VERY VERY UNDERRATED.U ARE JUST AN AMAZING DEFENSE JOURNALIST THE BEST IN URE FIELD
They test-fired SM-2's from one of them last week.
I hope Indonesia will buy this ship
post 2020 larger improved frigates are very much needed . . . a fleet of five brand new Iver Fuitfeldt II class i-SMARTFuelCellΔ HYBRId® IEP powered 6,893 ton (8,042 ton loaded) stealth guided missile multi mission advanced warfare frigate should do the job . . . it'll be armed with a 34-cell SYLVER A60 VLS in the front bow section of the main deck, immediate aft of the 82.5 MM Oto Melara SuperRapido® cannon . . . the 34-cell SYLVER A60 VLS will have firing solutions for RBS-15 M3 inertial guided anti-ship missiles & VL-MICA ER medium range surface-to-air missiles . . . in addition to VL-Scalp EG supersonic land attack cruise missile as well . . .
indonesia iver huitfeld class
indonesia interest to order this iver class frigate..
@eddie moneylooks around, you are embarrassing your self with your comment. Southeast Asian nations are the market for such hardware for years now. I think we'll hear the news sometime this year. The ship is in the top list for TNI-AL. As an Indonesian, I looking forward to it.
@eddie money It's happening right now. The 'race' started since China's claim in SCS. Hi-end LCS (littoral combat ship) and sub are in high demand for the region since then. Our next 5 years program and funding for Arm Forces modernization are in 2019-2024, and Iver Huitfeld has been considered as one of our option along with FREMM, De Zeven Pprovincien and some other option from Asia and Russia. And it looks Iver Huitfeld comes on top to our requirements.
@eddie money We've already home built and operating Damen 10514, Changbogo class (Type 209) submarines and even exporting 7,000+ tons LPDs to a neighboring country. The chosen 6,000 tons warship will also be required to build at our shipyards (at least some of it). Operating it shouldn't be a problem. We also home built our medium tank and airplanes. All with only spending 0.8% of our GDP. But I've got the feeling that facts aren't your issue here.
@eddie money The laugh is on you. I wrote *Changbogo class (Type 209)*, clearly indicates Korea and German. 3 already in service. 1st and 2nd one built in Korea, the 3rd built at our shipyard. The next order for 3 subs of this type already placed this year, all will be built locally. Same thing with 10514 and other items. Don't worry about us operating large ship, our ancestors have sails and spread throughout the Pacific in canoes while your ancestors swinging on the trees.
@eddie money Yep, that's what I thought. Show us your true color :)
dude, you are easy.
Great laughter at 9:35
The MOD could lean from the Scandinavian’s, if they weren’t so pig headed. The Swedish Gripen is better than any of its competitors, and this Danish Class is the same.
The Type 31 will be based on the same hull form as this but will use RR/ MTU generators not Caterpillar units. An excellent value for money combat platform.
It is pronounced "Eever Witfeld".
