What is the best modern German submarine? The best modern German submarine is the Type 212CD, a diesel-electric attack submarine that is used by the German Navy and other NATO countries. It is considered one of the most advanced and capable submarines in the world, with a unique design that allows it to operate in shallow waters and conduct a wide range of missions, including anti-submarine warfare and special operations. The Type 212CD is known for its exceptional stealth capabilities, advanced sensors and communications systems, and high maneuverability.

Royal Navy Seeks Long-Range Anti-Submarine Weapon The Royal Navy is looking for a new missile system that can launch torpedoes from its Type 26 frigates. This Long Range Anti-Submarine Warfare weapon (LRAW) aims to counter the increasing range of modern submarine-launched torpedoes, exceeding 50km. While the U.S. Navy's Vertical Launch Anti-Submarine Rocket (VLA) is compatible with the Type 26's Mk41 launch system, its current range of approximately 10km falls short. This means that either the VLA needs significant range improvements, or the Royal Navy must explore alternative solutions, like the Japanese Type 7, to achieve the desired standoff distance. The goal is to out-range enemy submarines, giving the Royal Navy a critical advantage in any future conflict. #RoyalNavy #ASW #SubmarineWarfare #DefenseTechnology #VLA #Type26Frigate #Mk41VLS #DefenseIndustry #MaritimeSecurity #NationalSecurity

The UK's military technology agency is developing a quantum navigation device, an inertial navigation system offering GPS-like accuracy at sea without relying on external signals. While GPS enhances transportation safety and efficiency, it is vulnerable to jamming and external threats. Inertial navigation, commonly used by military applications, supplements GPS for critical missions, but suffers from drift over time. Quantum navigation, pioneered by Imperial College London in 2018, employs precise quantum accelerometers. Laser pulses measure ultracold atoms' wave-like properties, offering highly accurate records of a ship's accelerations. Tested on the Royal Navy's XV Patrick Blackett and the UK defense sealift ship Hurst Point, the system shows promise, potentially providing robust GPS-free navigation. The UK Ministry of Defence is optimistic about advancing the technology in upcoming tests. #ukmilitary #royalnavy #quantumnavigation #gps #inertialnavigationsystem #imperialcollegelondon #xvpatrickblackett #hurstpoint

🇺🇸🤝🇪🇸 Lockheed Martin and Navantia, S.A., S.M.E have signed a deal extending their 27-year naval combat systems partnership for three more years. The agreement continues the companies’ combined role in developing surface ships and submarines, such as the F-100 and F-110 frigate programs. "Extending this collaboration demonstrates our commitment to designing, building and delivering the best solutions to our clients both in the surface ship and submarine domains,” Navantia's Donato Martínez said. Lockheed Integrated Warfare Systems and Sensors VP Chauncey McIntosh agreed. "The extension of our long-standing relationship with Navantia will help sustain high-value jobs in Spain with the goal of further collaboration between our two companies,” he said. #military #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #navy #naval #lockheedmartin #navantia #shipbuilding #submarine #submarines #frigate

Australia has allocated a record $36.8 billion to defense, up 6.3 percent compared to last year, with nuclear-powered #submarines consuming a much enlarged portion of defense funding. The AUKUS program has three phases. The first will support increased visits and rotations of American and British SSNs to Australia. Phase two will give Australia three ex-U.S. Navy Virginia-class submarines in the 2030s, and the third stage will deliver the AUKUS SSNs built at Osborne in South Australia from the 2040s. | https://bit.ly/44PqYQW ⚓ #submersibles #AUV #UUV #defensecontractors #defenseindustry #nationalsecurity

The Hivemind Autonomy stack has been operationally deployed since 2018, first on Nova sUAS. This year, Resilent Teams of V-BATs will optimize maritime search over wide areas of open ocean with unprecedented revisit times. It begins now with an Intelligent Team of four V-BATs, doubling in size every year. What is Hivemind? Fully onboard edge computing providing Artificial Intelligence Perception, Planning and Control. Why? Because tomorrows conflict will be in a degrading non-permissive environment where aircraft survivability means being alone and unafraid with: - No Communications - No GPS - No Ground Computing - No previous maps - No Motion Capture Let's have a discussion about Maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaisance and Targeting (MISR-T) and the Track Quality from V-BAT to support Long Range Fires.

⛴️🤩 Kongsberg Maritime has been chosen by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Naval to supply controllable pitch propeller systems for four anti-submarine warfare frigates. The Norwegian company will provide the parts alongside associated equipment such as blades, hubs, hubcaps, and shaft lines for the Netherlands and Belgium’s upcoming ASW fleet. “It is great news to have Kongsberg Maritime involved in the ASWF project as well,” Damen Naval Corporate Strategy and Innovation Director Richard Keulen said. Kongsberg Maritime Naval VP Björn ten Eicken added: “Kongsberg Maritime is proud to have been selected as a partner for this significant Damen Naval frigate programme. The propulsion system for the new frigates has been optimised to match the customers’ strict mission requirements, particularly for noise signature, which is a crucial factor in anti-submarine warfare operations.” #military #technology #militarytech #defensetech #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #netherlands #belgium #navy #naval #kongberg #frigate #frigates #navaldefense #navaldefence
