That radar was to be complemented by the Spanish X-band PRISMA 25X ra- dar on the integrated MASTIL mast, EO sensors, and an ELINT/ SIGINT/EW suite. Interestingly, the MASTIL integrated mast has been designed for the latest F-110 design, and then it was adop- ted for the legacy design as well.

Given the expected purpose of the vessels - providing an air defense bubble for the maritime groups - the armament includes SM-2 MR Block III missiles, along with ESSM Block I. NAVY
