SIGMA Combatants
Our SIGMA (Ship Integrated Geometrical Modularity Approach) applies modular construction, using proven, standardised sections to form a configurable platform. Within a defined range of approximately 60 to 125 metres, the platform can be adapted for different mission systems while maintaining a consistent design baseline. This allows the vessel to grow in capability without unnecessary redesign, shortening delivery times, controlling risk and remaining within budget constraints.
Why Damen SIGMA Ship?
Plug-and-play combat integration
Select the weapons, sensors and combat management system that best fit your operational requirements. SIGMA's architecture supports efficient upgrades and capability enhancements throughout the vessel's lifecycle.
Local build with full knowledge transfer
Construction can take place at your selected yard, supported by our teams and technology transfer. This boosts local capabilities and provides control over production without compromising quality.
Proven series, predictable delivery
With ten ships delivered to different navies, the design is proven. This reduces programme uncertainty and supports delivery in line with agreed timelines and cost frameworks.
Lifecycle support from build to upgrade
We remain involved after delivery, providing global services, spare parts and modernisation support. This ensures the vessel stays operational and relevant throughout its service life.
Customer-selected weapons and sensors
Combat system flexibility allows each SIGMA platform to be configured with the weapons, sensors and combat management systems best suited to national requirements.
