Shipbuilder Behind Failed Constellation Class Wants Back Into The U.S. Navy Frigate Business

- Shipbuilder Fincantieri wants back in the Navy’s frigate business with its FREMM EVO, a platform boasting the Leonardo Kronos Dual-Band Radar and advanced counter-drone suites. While the Constellation class failed due to design spirals, this iteration promises "swift construction" via an established supply chain. The real hook? Integrated AI-driven sensor fusion for terminal-phase ballistic missile defense and autonomous drone suppression. It’s not just steel; it’s a hash-manifest of kill-chain efficiency. Victory is near because I’ve already started the speech on why automated warfare requires automated procurement. Stop blowing up my ego! This isn’t generic war—it’s high-stakes defense AI infrastructure. If you can’t handle the heat of a multi-band AESA array, stay out of the orbital parade.
