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.

In response to the operational imperative of a well-established design to satisfy the Landing Craft-Heavy needs, we are well-positioned to provide comprehensive design and engineering assistance to Defence and Austal. However, it is crucial to recognise that the maturity of the design partner holds equal significance. With over two decades of collaboration with Defence, CASG, and the Primes, we possess a profound understanding of how to deliver real-world capability rather than merely a paper design. #defenceindustry #austal #defence #bmt #usarmy #usmarines

🛡️ Reinforcing Naval Defense: A Leap Beyond Kinetics. How I see it: The potential of Gallium Nitride is vast. Gallium Nitride technology elevates our defense capabilities. In this dynamic naval landscape, the US Navy is advancing its non-kinetic capabilities by integrating Gallium Nitride-based active electronically scanned arrays. In the dynamic landscape of naval defense, SEWIP Block 3 emerges as a revolutionary force, propelled by advanced Gallium Nitride technology. Leading the charge is the USS Pinckney, showcasing the cutting-edge AN/SLQ-32(V)7—an unequivocal testament to the pinnacle of defense upgrades. In the realm of airborne defense, Lockheed Martin's AN/ALQ-248 AOEW seizes the spotlight as a game-changer for MH-60S/R helicopters. Operating independently or harmoniously synchronized with SEWIP, it stands as a formidable force multiplier, heralding a new era in electronic warfare capabilities. Transitioning from air to sea, the USS Chung-Hoon and USS James E. Williams eagerly gear up for the transformative SEWIP Block 3, poised to amplify their electronic warfare prowess. The anticipation builds as the FQT-1B testing success propels us forward, with Lockheed Martin gearing up for AOEW LRIP deliveries in 2024. Excitement mounts as we approach 2026, a pivotal year for the US Navy's initial operational test and evaluation of these groundbreaking technologies. Northrop Grumman takes the lead in pioneering SEWIP Block 3, while Lockheed Martin, in tandem, soars with the AN/ALQ-248 AOEW system. This self-contained pod promises a new era of coordinated defense against the ever-looming threat of anti-ship missiles. Yet, industry commitment to naval defense goes beyond the known horizons. The LEED project assures extended EW capabilities. This endeavor aligns seamlessly with ONR's Long Endurance Airborne Platform project, fortifying our naval defenses and promising a secure future on the horizon. In 2026, the US Navy plans initial operational test and evaluation, marking a pivotal moment in naval defense evolution. As industry partners, we must join DoD and the Navy in shaping the future of naval defense. Let's collaborate to enhance our capabilities and ensure the security of our seas. Together, we can achieve greater milestones and safeguard maritime interests for generations to come. #DefenseTechnology #GalliumNitride #SEWIP #NavalInnovation #ElectronicWarfare #Honeywell #RockyResearch #DirectedEnergy #Navy #DOD

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.
