Before the boats were fitted with firmly installed equipment for Electronic Warfare (EW), i.e. radar warning systems  (Electronic Support Measures - ESM-equipment), the boats had portable radar-warning-receivers TRACER (VR-2), which in S-Band with ± 4 and in X-Band with ± 2 degrees accuracy could give an indication that enemy emissions were present. At least by a triangulation with two or more boats a rough area could be established in which the enemy was present.

The boats was externally equal to Class 140. The main engines were working on the shafts via a reverse gear unit. 

Later the boats were retrofitted with a Nedinsco- plotting table, a true motion-radar, an optical gyrocontrolled gun- targetting and ESM  (Radar-Search) equipment by ELTRO. 

 "Geier" carried out ABC-trials, "Kormoran" ran trials with new rear torpedo-tubes.
