An early MEKO-StanFlex partnership could create shared module pools

The scenario assumes that MEKO and StanFlex combine at the beginning of their programmes. Later MEKO customers could then buy into the module system as they acquired their ships. Using a stated customer-base assumption of sixteen nations, the discussion envisages a much wider market than Denmark alone. Germany, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Denmark, and eventually Poland would give the standard a substantial NATO user group. Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa would extend that customer base across several African fleets. Australia and New Zealand could buy a common pool of StanFlex modules alongside their ANZAC frigates. Shared purchases would connect their fleets through both the hull family and the payload standard.
