The MEKO® X is the latest member of the MEKO® design family which today includes the MEKO®, the MEKO® A and the MEKO® DELTA frigates and corvettes.
Defining fixed requirements for a surface combatant which is intended to enter service in the first half of the next decade is not a logic process. Thus, an Operational Concept Document (OCD) which is based on assumptions regarding future requirements has been prepared for this vessel. This document outlines assumed operational needs, which were then used to develop the MEKO® X.

The MEKO® X will be a future surface combatant capable of sustained national and coalition operations in a multi-threat scenario. This ship provides a new level of capabilities in all warfare areas. It includes aspects of Network Centric Warfare as well as a broad spectrum of interoperability concerning joined or combined operations. It will possess a combat system able to perform Area Air Defence including Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence in combined task groups, surveillance operations, long range surface actions and stand-off ASW attacks with distance weapons as well as enhanced strategic power projection to support land operations.

Due to this size, the platform incorporates a number of technical features which result in a high survivability of the structure as well as of all systems by fully exploiting, among others, the philosophies of physical distribution of the systems or their redundancies.
Enhancement of the structural survivability is being realised by the introduction of four longitudinal boxgirders over more than 80 % of the ship's length and by six double-walled bulkheads. The objective of these measures is, in case of a hit, to reduce and contain the extend of destruction of the total weapon system "Ship" in order to preserve its capability to move on and to continue the combat mission.
The hull lines are designed following the Delta-Hull form principles which are applied to the MEKO® DELTA class frigates for the first time.

The MEKO® X will have an all-electric propulsion plant with two podded drives. The fundamental advantages and benefits of an all-electric ship are widely known. However, it is worthwhile to recall the major benefits:

* Increased vessel safety
* Higher flexibility
* Lower operating costs
* Enhanced availability, reliability and maintainability

The electric power for propulsion and ship's service loads is supplied from four diesel generator sets and one gas turbine generator set. Due to the energy demand for the propulsion plant a 6,6 kV medium-voltage (MV) is used. There are four consumers of power on the system, two propulsion converters and two ship service transformers.

Mas parece que é melhor esquecer. Se elas são assim tão boas devem ter um preço maluco.

Trata-se de um destroier ao nível ou superior às AB's americanas e ás futuras Type45 inglesas (a rondar as 8.000 ton de deslocamento).

Esse é um projecto possivel, uma ideia, mas para já não há compradores.

Então, quais as marinhas europeias com as quais Portugal poderia cooperar? Havera mais alguém que poderia vir a substituir as suas MEKO por umas novas?

Talvez saisse mais barato, se a encomenda portuguesa fosse em conjunto com a grega

Mesmo as nossa Meko-200 são sub-armadas se comparadas com as gregas ou turcas, e nem sequer há calendário para a sua modernização.
