Description

The MEKO A ships are the next generation of surface combatants evolved from the MEKO-family and offered by Germany for the export market. They will accommodate advanced propulsion systems, sensors and weaponry while providing improved survivability using low-observable technologies and design. Retrofit and upgrade processes will be easily carried out thanks to a modular open architecture and cutting-edge construction techniques. The MEKO A-100 corvettes have been designed to perform a wide variety of missions. According to customer specifications the MEKO A-100 ships will feature a displacement ranging from 800 to 2,500 tons. They can accommodate a medium size helicopter, vertical launched missiles (16), 8 anti-ship missiles, Close-In weapons, and small caliber guns. The Polish Navy procured only one ship under the Project 621 Gawron-class built by PGZ Stocznia Wojenna.
