15. Technical challenges Gas turbine (ST18) Shafts and seals Problem solved 2011 Hydraulics system Vital part of the propulsion system Big effort from industry and NDLO Technical commission with recommended solution Should have been ready for sailing January 2012, but problem continued until mid february. Still experiencing some problems Warranty Glimt full warranty Storm, Skudd, Steil partly (for repaired systems) Gnist will have full warranty Complicated regime (Navy not allowed to repair technical problems) The Skjold-cl is complicated and advanced technological vessels and we are experiencing similar problems as seen earlier when implementing new vessels.

16. Challenges 2012 • Delayed delivery of HNoMS Glimt • Hard work load on the crews • Technical challenges – keep the vessel going • Shiptechnical • Maintenance • Force generation (education and training) • Certification • Cancellation of planned activity • TG 1 • Single vessels single weeks • Harbour visit Karlskrona

17. Norwegian Corvette Service priorities 2013 • Implement and test new vessels • Operational evaluation • Produce units to combat strength 2

18. Activity 2013 • Activities • TG-1 week 3-6 (4 x Skjold cl) • TG-2 week 11-12 (3 x Skjold cl) • TG-3 week 23-25 (3 x Skjold cl) • NSM firing week 23-24 • TG-4 week 36-38 (2 x Skjold cl) • Exercise DANEX/NOCO • TG-5 week 46-48 (4 x Skjold cl) • FLOTEX SILVER, in Northern Norway • TECHNICAL EVALUATION continues • Exercises not included in TG periods • Joint Warrior week 16-17 (2 x Skjold cl) • NSM firing week 39-40 (2 x Skjold cl) • Squadron weeks • 80 days at sea pr vessel

24. BEGRENSET NORCORSERVICE Force Generation

25. KK 1 – fully operational (Intops) Mission related training KK 2 – Fully operational (national) Training and exercising on basic skills KK 3 – Partly operational Safety related training KK 4 – Maintenance Concept for training and exercise Training and Exercise activity for the Norwegian Fleet • Individual training • Directed by each training centre and managed by appointed plans for progression (OPUS) • Each ship basic safety and operational skills • National exercises • Exercising together with other national units • Focus on tactic, procedures and integration training • International Exercises • Integration and cooperation with international units • Focus on command and control, tactic and procedural training.

26. Force Generation 2011: 3 Skjold cl. Combat Readiness (CR)level 3 Due to technical challenges only able to produce 2. 2012: 1 Skjold cl. CR level 2 (June) 3 Skjold cl. CR level 3 (from June (Glimt)) Challenging because of Technical problems Reduced time for training

27. Force Generation 2013: 3 Skjold cl. CR level 2 (January) 1 Skjold cl. CR level 3
