The MEKO A-200 ASW corvette includes a 3D phased array radar and a 2D long range search radar. The MEKO A-200 ASW corvette has been ordered by the South African Navy (MEKO A-200 SAN). The four corvettes were delivered to South Africa between 2006 and 2007. Algeria (MEKO A-200 AN) has also ordered two class corvettes to be commissioned in 2015 and 2016. The MEKO A-200 SAN vessels have been fitted with a new propulsion system called CODAG-WARP (COmbined Diesel And Gas - Waterjet And Refined Propellers) which combines propellers and waterjet propulsion. They have a maximum speed of 27 knots and a cruise speed of 20 knots. Thales Naval France and African Defence Systems (ADS) consortium outfitted the SAN ships with weapons and electronic systems in Simonstown, South Africa.
