StanFlex (also known as STANFLEX or Standard Flex) is a modular mission payload system used by the Kongelige Danske Marine (Royal Danish Navy, KDM).
Originally conceived during the 1980s as a way of replacing several classes of minor war vessel with a single class of multi-role ships (the Flyvefisken class), the StanFlex system consists of weapons and equipment mounted in standardised containers, which can be loaded into slots on the ships. These containers can be swapped out in a short period of time, allowing the ship to switch between roles when needed.
The success of the modular payload system led the KDM to design all new warships with StanFlex slots, and to install slots on older vessels during major refits. By 2012, nine ship classes capable of carrying StanFlex payloads will be in service.
Module design and use
Stanflex modules are constructed by Monberg & Thorsen.[3] Each module is housed in a stainless steel container measuring 3 metres (9.8 ft) in length, 3.5 metres (11 ft) in width, and 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) in height.[3] Precision-machined flanges ensure that the module accurately mates up with connections for power, ventilation, communications, water, and data.[3] The weapon or system is mounted on the roof of the module, while the machinery, electronics, and supporting equipment are housed within.[3]
Modules are usually installed and replaced by a 15-ton capacity mobile crane.[3] A module can be swapped out and replaced within half an hour, and after system testing completed, the ship is ready to deploy within a few hours.[3] However, refresher training for the ship's crew will take significantly longer.[3] Standardised consoles are fitted in the combat information centre: the console's role is defined by the software installed, which can be quickly replaced.[3][4] The ease of installation and use is compared by naval personnel to another Danish product: Lego.[3]

Benefits and drawbacks
- Unused modules can be stored in controlled conditions, reducing the need for preventative maintenance.[1]
- Ships do not need to be taken out of service when equipment requires maintenance, and vice versa.[1]
- New weapons and systems can be installed on the vessels by fitting them to a module, instead of refitting the entire ship.[1]
- When a ship or class is removed from service, the modules can be reused by other vessels.[2] Similarly, as they do not have to be built into the ship, modular weapons and systems do not have to be factored into the purchase cost of a new vessel: in 2006, a proposed 6,000-ton frigate design for the KDM was predicted to cost DKK 1.6 billion per ship (USD 285 million), while similar projects in other European nations were slated to cost between DKK 2.6 billion and DKK 6.3 billion (USD 463 million to 1.12 billion).[2]
- The multi-role ships are slightly less efficient than a dedicated ship in a particular role, but the ability to be quickly reequipped for other roles more than makes up for this.[3]

The Patrol Vessels of the FLYVEFISKEN Class, also named as the Standard Flex 300 type, is capable of switching between several rolls/configurations by a planned container system.
The different containers will make it possible to change the role of the ship from a clean surveillance role to a guided missile vessel or Mine Hunter within hours.

Ben nog altijd bezig met opzoekingen omtrent mn skaden en aan een aantal projecten bezig leo 2a5 en een mrap op 1/16
Als ik de fotos goed interpreteer is met die lanceerinrichtingen een kraan niet mogelijk, dus op achterkant komt de dubbele 2x2 harpoon mk48 en in midden 3x2 sea sparrow lanceerinrichting , die verdeling heeft waarschijnlijk te maken met de gewichtsverdeling en stabiliteit bij het afvuren me dunkt

heel mooi gemaakt
tot spijt in mn hart moet ik deze boot verkopen , werkte er graag aan maar de tijd mankeerd , als iemand er in geinteresserd is met alle voorhande toebehoren had ik er graag 300 euro voor, plannen , beslag etc alles
het heeft geen zin hem hier langer te laten staan , de ruimte is te beperkt en de boxer neemt zoveel tijd in beslag
