The Spanish Navy and Navantia invite the Spanish Defense industry on September 17 2020, to participate in this event in which the 4E project will be presented. This project aims to design and develop the essential elements (equipment and systems) that will be of common use in future European escort ships.
The 4E does not intend to build a specific ship but rather is presented as a block of “systems” that will be included in the European escorts of the future. These “systems” have been developed by carrying out a technology foresight exercise. The initiative must be formally presented in 2021 to the EU military committee.
