Flexible patrol ship scale model on Danske Patruljeskibe booth at DALO Industry Days 2024.

Naval News reports that the Danish Navy is now planning to increase the armament of a proposed class of up to six ice strengthened patrol vessels. The design has not been finalized, but they have decided the security situation demands additional installed weapon systems.

We talked about these ships earlier, Arctic Patrol Cutter, State of the Art–Revisited. Basically, they were expected to perform Coast Guard type missions around Greenland and into the Arctic, replacing the Thetis class patrol frigates.

The additions include Vertical Launch (missile) Systems (VLS).
