Norway and Denmark became the latest European nations to join European Patrol Corvette (EPC) program on December 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EPC is a Permanent Structured Cooperation project, adopted by the European Council on 12 November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EPC project is coordinated by Italy, with Spain, France, and Greece participating and Portugal as an observer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe objective is to design and develop a prototype for a new class of military ship, named \u201cEuropean Patrol Corvette\u201d (EPC), which allows to host several systems and payloads, in order to accomplish, with a modular and flexible approach, a large number of tasks and missions,\u201d according to the information available on Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by France\u2019s Naval Group, Italy\u2019s Fincantieri, their joint-venture Naviris, and Spain\u2019s Navantia, Denmark and Norway joined other member countries as \u201cco-founding\u201d partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs major European industrial players in the naval defense sector, they believe that this is the right time to start a real, concrete, added-value collaboration around a common program that will be the first common naval capability in Europe\u2026 The promotion of the program to other European navies, with a joint action of nations already part of PESCO program, will strengthen the European industry, increasing cooperation, efficiency and lowering duplication in defense spending,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European firms are expected to start the funding in 2023 and spend money on areas, including unmanned technology, propulsion, modularity, and data management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
