The boats had an automatic command and control system "Automatisiertes Gefechts- und Informationssystem" (AGIS) with data exchange via Link 11, an Electronic Warfare System FL 1800, ABC-Protection, Hot Dog and Wolke for missile-defence.
In Denmark this class counts as Class S 61 "Albatros" with 20 boats and includes two German classes i.e. Class 143 "Albatros" and Class 143 A "Gepard". Although the boats have the same hull and propulsion, they are so different in superstructure, armament, ECM-equipment and Command and Control hardware and software, that the owner - the German Navy - gave them different class-indications.
