MEKO A-200 SAN anti-air corvettes for the South African Navy
南非海军MEKO A-200 SAN防空轻护卫舰

The MEKO A combat ships, designed by Blohm and Voss, evolved from the MEKO family of ships which have been in operation with navies around the world since the 1980s. The MEKO A family includes the 1,650t MEKO A-100 multi-purpose corvette and 3,500t MEKO A-200 corvette. Improvements include increased payload share of ship displacement, stealthy design, advanced propulsion system and combat systems with modular open architecture.

Meko级战斗舰艇，由德国布洛姆（Blohm）&福斯（Voss）造船厂设计，MEKO系列战舰的发展从1980年起已在世界各地的海军中操作。MEKO系列包括1650吨MEKO A-100多用途护卫舰和MEKO3500吨A-200护卫舰。改进包括增加舰艇载荷分配和排水量、隐身设计、先进的推进系统和模块化开放式体系结构作战系统。
 

Four MEKO A-200 anti-air corvettes have been ordered by the South African Navy to enter service in 2004. A group of South African companies, known as the SA Corvette Group, including Altech Defence Systems, Kentron, LIW Division of Denel, Futuristic Business Solutions, Grintek Avitronics, Grintek Electronics, Reutech and African Defence Systems (a joint venture company between Altech and Thales), is responsible for combining the weapons and electronics subsystems into a fully integrated combat suite. Two of the corvettes are being built by Blohm & Voss at Hamburg, the other two at Kiel.

四艘MEKO A-200型防空护卫舰已被南非海军订购于2004年开始服役，南非集团公司，被称为SA克尔维特集团，包括Altech防卫系统公司，Kentron公司，Denel的LIW公司，未来商业电子公司，Grintek Avitronics公司，Grintek电子系统公司，Reutech和非洲防卫系统公司 (Altech和泰利斯之间的一个合资公司)，负责整合武器和电子子系统进一个完全综合战斗组件之内。 轻护卫舰中的二艘在汉堡市被布洛姆（Blohm） & 福斯（Voss）建造，另外两艘在基尔（Kiel）。
 

The first, the SAS Amatola, was delivered to the South African Navy by Blohm & Voss in September 2003 and arrived in Simonstown (which will be the home port) in November 2003, to be fitted out with weapon systems electronics. The second ship, SAS Isandlwana, was handed over by HDW in December 2003 and arrived in South Africa in March 2004. The third vessel, SAS Spioenkop, was launched in June 2003 and will be delivered in June 2004. The fourth ship, SAS Mendi, will be delivered by the end of 2004.

第一艘F 145，SAS Amatola号，在2003年9月由布洛姆&福斯造船厂交付给南非海军，并且在2003年11月抵达西蒙斯敦（这将是母港），进行安装武器系统和电子系统工作。第二艘F 146，SAS Isandlwana号，在2003年12月由HDW造船厂交付，并且在2004年3月抵达南非。第三艘船F 147，SAS Spioenkop号，在2003 年6月下水，将在2004年6月交付。第四艘船F 148，SAS Mendi号，将会在2004年底交付。
 

The Polish Navy is also to procure six corvettes based on the Meko A-100 for their Project 621 corvette programme, with first delivery in 2004. The corvettes are to be built in Poland. The five new German Navy K130 corvettes are to be based on the Meko A.

波兰海军为他们的项目621护卫舰计划也采购六艘基于梅科A-100型的轻型护卫舰，在2004年首次交付的护卫舰将在波兰建造。五艘新的德国海军K130型轻型护卫舰是基于Meko A型。
 

The Malaysian Navy has ordered six Meko A-100s to be used as coastal patrol vessels. The first two are being built in Germany and assembled in Malaysia. Subsequent vessels will be built by PSC Naval Dockyard, Malaysia. The first ship was delivered to the PSC for final outfitting and sea trials in May 2003. The second is due for delivery in 2004.

马来西亚海军已订购了六艘MEKO A-100型当作海岸巡逻舰。前两艘在德国建造，并在马来西亚组装。后续舰艇将通过马来西亚PSC海军船厂建造。第一艘被送到PSC最终舾装和在2003年5月海试。第二艘在2004年交付。
 

STEALTH DESIGN FEATURES

Stealth design features have been introduced to reduce the radar cross-section. Hull panels are alternately angled to avoid large flat surfaces, an arrangement called "X-form". Right angle corners are avoided and the decks and superstructure have been decluttered. The bridge wings present on the original MEKO have been eliminated and the bridge is completely enclosed.

隐身设计的功能已被引入用于减少雷达横截面。船体面板交互角度避免大平面，所谓的“X”布局。避免直角和甲板和上部构造已修整。在MEKO上舰桥侧楼目前已被淘汰，舰桥是完全封闭的。
 

A reduction of about 75% on the ship's infrared signature has been achieved by elimination of the funnel, and instead hot exhaust gases are ducted through a horizontal system. Seawater is injected into the exhaust duct to cool the exhaust fumes, before being expelled just above the waterline.

减少舰船75%的红外特征已经淘汰了烟囱，而热废气导管通过横向系统。海水喷入排气管冷却废气，然后仅从吃水线上排出。
 

MEKO A-200 SAN ANTI-AIR CORVETTE

The four MEKO A-200 SAN anti-air corvettes for the South African Navy will be equipped with African Defence Systems' Combat Management System and Navigation Subsystem. ADS will also act as the Segment Manager for the corvette's underwater systems including the sonars and torpedoes.
南非海军四艘MEKO A-200型SAN防空护卫舰将配备非洲防务系统公司作战管理系统和导航子系统。ADS公司也将作为部分管理再负责护卫舰的水下系统，包括声纳和鱼雷。

GUNS

Four existing 76mm Oto Melara guns will be transferred from South African Navy OPVs to the corvettes. Reutech Systems (Pty) Ltd has developed a new generation electric gun drive system and these will be fitted to the guns in place of the previous hydraulic system.

The corvette will be armed with a 35DPG 35mm dual purpose gun from LIW division of Denel, Pretoria. A dual antenna Doppler radar, combined with high speed digital signal processing of the muzzle velocity measurement provide compensating feedback to the Fire Control Computer. Firing one burst of 25 rounds, cruise missiles are destroyed at ranges of at least 2.5km and high speed missiles at range 1.5km.

现有四座76毫米奥托梅莱拉舰炮将从南非海军巡逻艇转移到护卫舰上。 Reutech系统（控股）有限公司已开发出新一代电动舰炮驱动系统，这些将被装到舰炮代替以前的液压系统。
