The FMM ("Frigate Multi-Mission"; Merovingian: Frégate Multi-Mission; Sylvan: Fregata multi-missione) is a class of multi-mission frigates designed in the late-1980s and built throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. The ships were designed to give AVA states a common platform to replace "medium range" air-defense warships like the Durand de la Penne-class used by the Sylvan Navy and the Vercingétorix-class used by the Sieuxerrian Navy and also primarily ASW warships like the Maestrale-class and Charlemagne-class.
The FMM would spearhead a number of new sensors and weapon systems while also retaining legacy systems to help reduce costs and increase interoperability between allied nations. In the Sieuxerrian Navy it is known as the Aventurier-class and in the Sylvan Navy as the Mamamiapizzapie-class.

The ships are equipped with a legacy DRBV-26D Jupiter ER for wide-area search. The Jupiter ER has a max range of 333km and a minimum range of 20km. Its multi-function radar is the CAMPAR which the FMM would be the first ship to use the radar. The CAMPAR system has a max range of 150km with a minimum range of less than 200 meters from the ship. The CAMPAR targets and provides uplink information assistance to the COFFIN air-defense missile. It can track upwards of 300 targets.
There are also two helicopter and navigation search radars and also fire control radars.
