The final Vahana workboats have been delivered to the Royal Navy. As part of a £48 million contract the U.K. Defence Equipment & Support awarded to Dorset-based Atlas Elektronik (AEUK) to replace outdated vessels, the fleet used for diving, surveying, and training operations is now complete. Constructed to a versatile, modular design, the new boats known as the ‘SEA class’ are based on a standardised hull that is interchangeable, allowing them to be adapted for different tasks. With the ability to carry differing payloads and providing improved speed, operational range and navigation equipment, the 15m long Vahanas workboats play a vital role for the Royal Navy. The handover of the last two boats – Merlin and Fantome – to the Fleet Hydrography and Meteorology Unit in Devonport marks the contract’s completion and signifies the full operating capability of all vessels. The new boats are operated from UK ports and Royal Navy surface vessels, and are used for several roles from logistics support, officer training, hydrographic survey, and passenger transport, to dive support and training. The contract, known as Project Vahana, was first announced in September 2017, with the new vessels required to replace boats made in the early 1990s that had reached the end of their service lives. Around 60 UK jobs were sustained through the contract. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gbigFEJp

We have been asked ‘what do Tactical Diving Vehicles (TDVs) offer beyond Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs)?’ For many reasons TDVs are redefining the landscape of discrete and covert littoral operations. TDVs like the JFD Shadow Seal and Carrier Seal offer multi-mode operation – surface, semi-submerged and fully submerged. This flexibility greatly reduces the vehicle’s signature, enabling covert infiltration and exfiltration in high threat environments either alongside submarine or surface ship capability or completely independently. Our TDVs are operable from a wide range of insertion and extraction platforms, including launch from a submerged platform, naval vessels, civilian craft, and even aircraft, however their ability to also operate completely independently of a host platform due to their long-range, over-the-horizon capability provides SOF units with an independent operational advantage, reducing the need to expose high-value assets to unnecessary risks. For navies without submarine support, TDVs present a cost-effective alternative, bridging critical capability gaps and extending the reach of maritime SOF operations. Their versatility and lower cost compared to larger platforms make TDVs an ideal choice for rapid response, coastal defence, and protection of critical national infrastructure. Contact our team to explore how TDVs are empowering maritime SOF with unmatched operational flexibility and effectiveness: enquiries@jfdglobal.com #TacticalDiving #UnderwaterBattlespace #SwimmerDeliveryVehicles

#MarinaMilitare🇮🇹⚓️ 📸 Luca PERUZZI. 🧵 : au Combined Naval Event 2024, le CC Stefano OLIVA a présenté l'avenir (2025-50) : 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗡𝗙𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗢 puis 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 (𝗡𝗚𝗦). 👇 📚 Luca PERUZZI, « Il futuro della componente subacquea della Marina Militare (2025-2050) », 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘢, 05 juin 2024, https://lnkd.in/eJJ9MMW8. ➡️ CNE 2024 (21-23 mai) : le capitano di corvetta Stefano OLIVA (Ufficio Ricerca e Sviluppo Sottomarini, Stato maggiore della Marina Militare) a prononcé une communication dénommée « La prospettiva della Marina Militare per i prossimi (programmi) di piattaforme subacquee » quant à la planification sur la période couvrant les années 2025-50. ➡️ 1ière information, dimensionnante sur le plan stratégique et plus particulièrement pour le bassin occidental de la Méditerranée : ambition de la Marina militare, dans le cadre actuel de la planification 🇮🇹 des dépenses militaires, de porter le format du COMando delle FORze SUBacquee (COMFORSUB) de 8 à 10 bateaux d'ici 2036. Pour ce faire : ▪️ 2022-31 : construction 4 x 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗡𝗙𝗦 ▪️ 2025-31 : Estensione della vita Operativa (OLE) ou Prolungamento della Vita Operativa (PVO) 2 x 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗜𝗩 ▪️ 2027-31 : Mid-Life Upgrade 2 x 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗔 batch 1 ▪️ 2030-36 : construction 2 x 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗡𝗙𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗢 ▪️ 2037-39 : Mid-Life Upgrade 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗔 batch 2 ➡️ 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦 𝘥𝘪 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘰 2019 – 2034 constatait l'accroissement de l'activité opérationnelle des sous-marins 🇮🇹 et l'extension de leur action de la seule Méditerranée à l'Océan Indien. La somme des deux conduisait à demander une augmentation du format à 13 bateaux, avec un minimum de 8. ➡️ Changement de format de COMFORSUB est, là aussi, le signe d'une possible fin de l'expansion navale 🇮🇹 (Blog (21 mars 2021) : https://lnkd.in/eSTmv4-2) car la limite haute est à 10 bateaux et non plus 12 ou 13. Fin la croissance en volume mais atterrissage sur un plateau haut. ➡️ Armature de la sous-marinade 🇮🇹 s'articule autour d'une série de 8 à 10 bateaux : ▪️ 4 bateaux d'une nouvelle classe. ▪️ 2 bateaux d'une version évoluée de la nouvelle classe. ▪️ 2 à 4 bateaux de génération précédente, mise à niveau en deux standards successifs hérités de la nouvelle classe suivante. ▪️ 2 à 4 bateaux d'une conception nouvelle. ➡️ Coopération 🇮🇹 - 🇩🇪 dans la construction sous-marine, entamée le 22 avril 1996, poursuivie par l'accord-cadre du 10 mars 2017, aura vu Rome abandonner le 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼 𝗦 𝟵𝟬, assumer les pertes de compétences industrielles tout en lançant une remontée en puissance par les programmes 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗔 (15% de participation industrielle 🇮🇹) puis surtout 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝟮𝗡𝗙𝗦 (40 à 50%).
