The Jacob van Heemskerck class Guided Missile Air Defence Frigate (Luchtverdedigingsfregat / L-Fregat) was a class of two frigates of the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were designed to be an air defence version of the Kortenaer class.

A Mk.13 missile launcher for the RIM-66 Standard SM-1MR medium-range surface-to-air missile (with a 40-missile magazine) replaced the helicopter hangar and deck of the Kortenaers. This was supplemented by an eight-cell Mk.29 NATO Sea Sparrow short range SAM launcher forward, with 24 missiles carried. A Goalkeeper close-in weapon system (CIWS) was mounted aft. Launchers for eight RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles (SSM) were positioned amidships, while anti-submarine armament consisted of 2x2 Mk.32 tubes for Mk.46 torpedoes.

As built, the ships were fitted with a Signaal LW-08 long-range air search radar, a DA-05 target tracking radar. Two STIR-2.4 fire control radars provided guidance for the Standard missiles, while a STIR-1.8 fire control radar directed the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles.
In the nineties the DA-05 radar was replaced by the new SMART-S tracking radar.
