Business Wire
Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today the successful
completion of comprehensive sea trials of the first Ulsan-Class
Future Frigate experimental Batch-3 (FFX-III) for the Republic of
Korea Navy (ROK Navy). DRS provides the hybrid electric drive
propulsion system for the ship, featuring quiet, compact, advanced
permanent magnet propulsion motors, supporting the ship’s
anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission with less noise generation and
superior fuel economy. This sea trial follows the delivery of eight
shipsets for the Daegu-Class FFX-II.
“The successful and timely testing was an important phase of
this program, which demonstrates our continued success and
collaboration with Hyosung Corporation, Korean shipbuilding HD
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD HHI), and the ROK Navy,” said Jon
Miller, Leonardo DRS Naval Power Systems Senior Vice President and
General Manager. “I’m proud of our engineering team, who
demonstrated superb expertise, technical skill, and professionalism
to prove the system, operation, and overall performance of the
first Ulsan-Class FFX-III Frigate.”
The 10-day sea trial, which took place in August 2023, marked a
significant milestone in the development and testing of the
Ulsan-Class FFX-III. Conducted in the Sea of Japan, the trial
showcased the vessel’s exceptional performance, economy, safety
features, and its ability to meet and exceed all performance
requirements. The ROK Navy plans to begin deployment of the ship
immediately. DRS will proceed with production of five additional
shipsets in FFX-III
