Mission Bay Handling System

Our innovative mission bay handling system is designed to transform a single space into an operational platform capable of managing different types of cargo. This innovative concept enables the handling of everything from rescue boats and manned submersibles to interchangeable modules or Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), significantly increasing the adaptability of the vessel.

The combination of an adaptable modular design, advanced control technology and highly robust structures ensures safe and precise operations in extreme maritime environments. Thanks to its flexibility, the mission bay system becomes a true mission multiplier, extending the vessel’s capabilities and optimizing its operational performance.

F-110 frigates

Mission Bay Handling System (MBHS)

The challenge

Manage and reconfigure the frigate's multi-mission bay: embarking, stowing and deploying ISO containers, unmanned vehicles (USVs, UUVs) and mission-specific tactical equipment.

The FERRI solution

An automated system at the heart of the F-110's versatility: it turns a conventional combatant into a specialised platform in hours rather than days. A plug-and-play capability for the Spanish Navy against evolving threats.

The ship

Five new-generation frigates being built by Navantia in Ferrol for the Spanish Navy.

Other FERRI equipment on board

Rapid-intervention davit, hangar doors, side doors, access system, safety nets and security panels.

rMCM programme

Gantry crane for ammunition and AUVs

The challenge

Safely handle and stow sensitive ammunition and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) inside the mission hangar.

The FERRI solution

An automated high-precision gantry crane, a key enabler of the unmanned mine-countermeasures concept: it provides the logistics to deploy the whole naval-drone 'toolbox', with integrated seafastening and less crew exposure to risk.

The ship

Twelve ships for the Belgian and Dutch navies, by the Naval Group – Exail consortium. The first two, Oostende and Vlissingen, have been delivered; Vlissingen in February 2026.

Other FERRI equipment on board

Safety nets and security panels, load transfer system.
