=== Engine configuration === The New FFMs would be propelled by a gas turbine engine and two diesel engines in a CODAG arrangement, in order to achieve the {{Convert|30|kn|adj=on}} top speed.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}} This arrangement is shared with the ''Mogami'' class, with a pair of conventional screw propellers.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}
== Equipment ==
=== C4ISR system === As the ship will be equipped with the Type 23 surface-to-air guided missile as shown below, it will be fitted with an illuminator for missile guidance to the multi-function radar, as well as an FC network,<ref>{{cite report |last= |first= |date= |title=ＦＣ(Fire Control)ネットワークの研究 |url=https://www.mod.go.jp/atla/research/ats2023/pdf_exhi_pos/P-22.pdf|trans-title=Research on FC (Fire Control) networks |work= |language=ja |location= |publisher=Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency |docket= |access-date=2 April 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite report |last= |first= |date= |title=令和７年度予算案の概要 |url=https://www.mod.go.jp/j/budget/yosan_gaiyo/fy2025/yosan_20241227_summary.pdf |trans-title=Summary of FY2025 Budget |work= |language=ja |location= |publisher=Ministry of Defence (Japan) |docket= |access-date=2 April 2025 |archive-date=27 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241227132212/https://www.mod.go.jp/j/budget/yosan_gaiyo/fy2025/yosan_20241227_summary.pdf}}</ref> which is essentially the Japanese version of the Naval Integrated Fire Control Counter-Air (NIFC-CA).<ref name=":1" /> Since the multi-function radar is based on the OPY-2, which is originally designed for individual ship air defense, it has been suggested{{By whom|date=January 2025}} that it will be necessary to improve its capabilities in the future.<ref name=":1" />
The ship will be equipped with a multi-function sonar that functions both as a vessel and mine detector.<ref name=":1" />
=== Weapon systems ===
====Japan==== The Type 23 ship-to-air missile is the ship's primary air defence weapon. The ship is also equipped with the ship-board version of the Type 12 surface-to-ship missile (12SSM).<ref name=":1" /> The Type 23 missile, along with the Type 07 (07VLA) anti-submarine missiles, will be housed in a 32-cell VLS on the bow deck.<ref name=":1" />
Other equipment will be similar to that of the ''Mogami'' class.
====Australia==== On 5 August 2025, the New FFM was selected by the Royal Australian Navy. Rear Admiral Hughes, Head of Naval Capability RAN, commented at Indo Pacific 2025 that the Australia Mogami frigates would be equipped with the Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile instead of the Type 17 anti-ship missile.<ref name="ump">{{Cite web |last=Luck |first=Alex |date=2025-11-15 |title=Upgraded Mogami At Indopac – On Zero Change And Shipbuilding |url=https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/indo-pacific-2025/2025/11/upgraded-mogami-at-indo-pacific-non-zero-change-shipbuilder-makes-move/ |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=Naval News |language=en-US}}</ref> It will be equipped with the Mark 54 Torpedo, SeaRAM, and deploy RIM-162 ESSM in the Mk 41 VLS.<ref name="ump"/>
