The UK has announced its intent to fit land-attack strike capability to both its future frigate types. The Type 26s are fitted from build with new VLS. The Type 31 would also receive a new VLS fit (the system will be back-fitted into ships already in build)

Admiral Sir Ben Key, First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, stated that the Royal Navy has three strands to its thinking
1. The Raytheon Tomahawk
2. Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile
3. The UK-France FC/ASW program
