DCNS
is a world leader in naval defence and an innovator in the energy sector.
As a naval prime contractor, systems integrator and shipbuilder, DCNS
combines resources and expertise spanning the naval defence value chain
and entire system lifecycles. DCNS delivers innovative solutions from
integrated warships to strategic systems, equipment, services and new
energy solutions. DCNS will participate to SITDEF exhibition in Lima
(Peru) from 14 to 17 May 2015. It is a chance for DCNS to showcase its
expertise in this key export market and to meet key players. |
DCNS
offers the complete set of solutions in cooperation with Navies and
local suppliers. Furthermore, DCNS provides a wide range of support
services during the entire lifecycle of surface ships and submarines
in order to support Navies in maintaining and expanding their self-sufficiency.
DCNS supports the world’s navies and is their long term partner
in developing their strategy through transfer of technology. These transfers
allow customers to benefit from the expertise of DCNS and involve their
local economy. DCNS implements a tried and tested method resulting from
many successful projects. It covers both the general management of programmes
and the organization of shared work or optimization of procurements.
DCNS proposes custom transfer of technology to the world’s navies
at different key milestones of a programme: final vessel fit-out, hull
assembly, complete construction, modification of design, complete design.
DCNS’s product portfolio includes naval systems for surface combatants,
submarines, services, underwater weapons, simulators for initial and
ongoing crew training, and innovative solutions in marine renewable
energy (MRE). Technologically complex programs are DCNS’s core
area of expertise. The Group is currently carrying out programs for
clients on four continents.
The DCNS exhibit at SITDEF will feature the Gowind® 2500, the Scorpene
2000 submarines and Subtics, the OPV 90 and Canto.
Gowind® 2500 is an exceptional naval asset for missions ranging
from counter-piracy to sea control and denial including anti-submarine
warfare operations. Equipped with a SETIS® combat management system,
based on the one equipping the FREMM frigates, Gowind® provides
the full range of warfare capabilities. These corvettes have been designed
to be simple to operate, easy to maintain and efficient. Gowind®
platforms and mission systems can be tailored to customer requirements
for an optimum trade-off between homeland security and naval combat
capabilities.
DCNS offers a complete range of ships from 40 to 95 m long designed
for State action at sea through Kership, a joint venture between DCNS
and Piriou, This wide range comprises robust, reliable ships that are
easy to operate and maintain, fitted with mission systems meeting the
needs of the customer. It includes offshore patrol vessels, multi-mission
ships, and specialised ships such as maritime training ships, landing
ships and hydrographic survey ships.
The Scorpene 2000 submarines, already chosen by 4 different navies,
represent the state-of-the-art in submarine design and construction
and benefit from the latest technologies developed for nuclear-powered
classes operated by the French Navy, particularly as regards acoustic
discretion and combat system performance.
The fully integrated SUBTICS® combat system is capable of gathering
information from every sensor via data link in order to offer the crew
a complete view of the tactical situation and enable it to implement
situation-appropriate weapons. A sonar suite with exceptional performances
ensures long-range detection capabilities tailored to weapons, torpedoes
and long-range missiles.
CANTO® represents a breakthrough in the field of torpedo defence.
It is designed to protect any platform, submarine or surface, against
the most advanced torpedoes and the previous generation as well. CANTO®
is both a powerful Jammer (for Dilution effect) and a false targets
generator (for Confusion effect) generating and permanently renewing
a specific acoustic signal which is understood by the torpedoes as being
hundreds of false targets. For surface vessel, CANTO® which can
be launched from any anti-missile Decoy Launching System at 123.8 mm
& 130 mm standards doesn't need a dedicated launching system. For
submarine, CANTO® also offers a valuable protection solution which
can be easily installed even on board the small size submarines thanks
to a reduced footprint. CANTO® / Contralto® is already ordered
by several Navies including the French and the Brazilian Navies to protect
submarines like SSK, SSN or SSBN or surface combatants like frigates
or corvettes.
DCNS is also at the forefront of developments in Marine Renewable Energies,
a rising and promising new business sector. The Group explores four
of the main technologies: tidal energy, floating wind energy, ocean
thermal energy conversion, wave energy. |
