To meet the needs of the Brazilian Navy, Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding and Saab have joined forces to develop the project that will supply four Tamandaré Class corvettes.
Over twenty navies throughout the world operate Damen-built vessels. The company will be responsible for supplying the ship Sigma 10514, a platform that can be adapted to meet the client’s demands. The company is experienced in building its vessels with other partners at non-Damen yards with the Damen Technical Cooperation, which has worked on over 1,000 projects all over the world.

Saab
Saab is a Swedish company with more than 70 years of experience in the defence industry. Among other features, it will provide the Saab 9LV combat management system, used by navies from several countries and which is known for its flexibility and easy integration of third-party modules.
Technology Transfer
In addition to supplying the corvettes, the partner companies are proposing a thorough technology transfer programme for much of the project, which will benefit Brazil's national defence industry.
RIDEX
The companies will be at RIDEX (Rio International Defence Exhibition), a security and defence fair that will be promoted in Rio de Janeiro, from 27-29 June, at a common space, where they will present details of the proposal that will be delivered on 18 June.
