5 F-100 Collaboration Legacy In the early 80s, eight NATO navies agreed that a common maritime weapon system would be possible despite their different requirements and ideas The Spanish embarked on the F-100 Frigate program after selecting the AEGIS Combat System as the basis This successful trans-atlantic collaboration was an enabler for a fiveship AEGIS Frigate Program for Norway and formed the basis for a fifth Spanish AEGIS Frigate Collaborative discussions are underway for future international AEGIS opportunities and a future Frigate for Spain NFR 90 Concept evolution F-100 Collaboration Has Been an Enabler for Follow-on Spanish and International Programs The Legacy Continues F-100 Brief: NATO Industry Day Page 5

6 F-100 Program An Anticipated Case of Smart Defense Operational capability F-100 is one of the world's most powerful escorts frigates and fully meets the needs of the Spanish F-100 provides a foundation for proven Ballistic Missile Defense capability Industrial Model and Technological benefits The industrial model, in which domestic industry is widely involved in new developments, is a model of success Employment Navantia generated an outstanding industrial infrastructure around its facilities Derivative products and export The F-100 project has generated real opportunities for export Keys to Success : Anticipated Case of Smart Defense Establish an integrated Government / Industry Program Management structure Provide clear requirements and guiding principles at Program inception Combine proven Combat System and Ship capabilities to address necessary missions Develop International relationships (both inter countries and inter industries) Provide adequate tools and test environments to allow efficient collaboration between Industry partners Employ proven system engineering and development processes 6 F-100 Brief: NATO Industry Day Page 6
