OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) has exercised an option for building the fourth new-generation submarine related to the U212NFS (Near Future Submarine) program for the Italian Navy (Marina Militare Italiana), which was assigned to FINCANTIERI. The unit has a total value of approximately 500 million euros, including the related Integrated Logistic Support and In-Service Support. The signature also activates all other options that complete the maintenance support for the submarines already contracted. The U212NFS submarines will by highly innovative, with significant design modifications that will all be developed independently by Fincantieri, which holds the role of Design Authority and Prime Contractor, in accordance with the Navy requirements. The program responds to the need to secure adequate underwater spatial surveillance and control capacity, considering the future complex scenarios of underwater operations and the fact that the end of the operational lifetime of the four “Sauro” class submarines currently in service is drawing near. The U212NFS submarines will also join the four operational U212A class submarines, including the Romei which is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance at the Muggiano shipyard.

Spain Hopes Final Decision on India’s P-75I Project Imminent with Possible Selection of Navantia’s S-80 Plus Submarine. Sources close to the Spanish government suggest that a decision on India's P-75I submarine project may be announced soon. This follows high-level discussions between Spanish officials and the Indian Ministry of Defence, with Spain's Navantia emerging as a strong contender for the significant contract. Navantia has offered its S-80 Plus submarine, equipped with advanced Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology, to fulfill the Indian Navy's requirements for Project-75I, a program crucial for bolstering India's underwater combat capabilities. India's P-75I program is a key element of the country's ongoing initiative to modernize and expand its submarine fleet. The program aims to acquire six advanced diesel-electric submarines with AIP systems, enabling them to remain submerged for extended periods – a critical capability for stealth operations in contested environments. Project-75I is designed to enhance India's security by increasing its ability to deter and respond to underwater threats, particularly in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). https://lnkd.in/gxMZeG6z Image for representation purposes only.

Intermarine S.p.A. (IMMSI industrial group – IMS.MI) and Leonardo S.p.a. (LDO.MI) – in the form of a Temporary Grouping of Companies – entered into a contract with the Directorate of Naval Armaments of the General Secretariat of Defence and National Armaments Directorate for the procurement of Vessels for research and clearance of sea mines – New Generation Minehunters/Coastal (NGM/C) and related integrated logistical support, for a value of 1.6 billion euros, for the delivery of 5 Vessels and an addition of approximately 1 billion options for the completion of the program. Intermarine’s share of the committed tranche is 1.165 billion euros, corresponding to approximately 73% and the one of Leonardo is approximately 0.43 billion euros, which corresponds to approximately 27%. A similar breakdown applies to the optional tranche. Intermarine, with the role of leader of the Temporary Grouping of Companies, is the design authority of the Naval Units and will provide the platform system; Leonardo is the design authority and supplier of the combat system. The contract signed today is the result of a process characterized by massive investments in research and development on new materials and innovative and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. It follows an intense preliminary studies activity following the contract signed in 2021 between Intermarine and the Directorate of Naval Armaments focused on “Risk reduction studies and definition of the NGM Vessel project”. Thanks to the New Generation Minehunters program, the Italian Navy will rely on innovative Minehunters with the most modern construction techniques and advanced combat system based on high level of integration and automation of operations. The New Generation Minehunters will represent a unique and most modern solution worldwide in terms of operational capabilities and cutting-edge technologies in the specialistic sector of seabed surveillance and protection of critical underwater infrastructures. The program aims to avoid the capability gap and start the enhancement of the National Mine Countermeasures National Component at a time marked by increasing international tensions and growing threats posed in the maritime domain, above and under the surface, as experienced in the recent ongoing conflicts in the areas of national strategic interest (Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Baltic Sea). #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/g5FJhqTp
