SMX-OCÉAN - CONVENTIONALLY POWERED ATTACK
SUBMARINE DESIGN CONCEPT BY DCNS
INTRODUCTION
• SMX-Océan, a conventionally powered attack submarine design concept,
was unveiled by DCNS Group at the EURONAVAL 2014 exhibition held at
Paris in October 2014.
• The submarine concept is based on the basic Barracuda-class nuclear
submarine layout including weapons, masts and combat system.
• The SMX ocean submarine will be a transposition of the Barracuda SSN
nuclear powered attack submarine into diesel-electric submarine (SSK).
• It is expected to enter into French Navy's service by 2017.
DESIGN
• The SMX ocean submarine will be based on the hull design of Barracuda.
• It will also retain the X rudder for increased manoeuvrability.
• Special operations forces (SOF) equipment for 16 divers will be fitted to the
watercraft, as will an internal reserved area, lock out chamber for eight
divers, and an external watertight storage.
• It will also feature a dry dock shelter, hyperbaric chamber, swimmers
delivery vehicle, and unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) dock.
• The submarine will be ideal for carrying out carrier group escort roles in
support of coalition operations in any theatre of operations.
WEAPON SYSTEMS
• The submarine will be equipped with a total of 34 weapons of five
different types including torpedoes, mines, anti-ship missiles, cruise
missiles and anti-air missiles.
• Multiple weapons aboard the submarine will allow the engagement of
surfaced and submerged targets, as well as aerial and land-based
targets.
• Vertical launchers will be included on the watercraft.
• These will provide salvo capability for cruise missile strikes on land
targets.
ENGINE
• Power for the submarine will come from a diesel-electric power-plant
and air independent propulsion (AIP) system.
• The AIP system will include second-generation fuel cells for
underwater endurance of up to 21 days.
• The submarine will be able to operate at an average transit speed of
14kt whereas the maximum diving speed will be 20kt.
• Endurance at sea will be 90 days without coming back to port.
PROPULSION
•The propulsion system will provide a maximum range
of 18,000nmi (29,000km) at a speed of 10kt.
•Ideal range will be achieved by a mix transit at an
average speed of 14kt during one week, one month
on patrol with no snorting, and a mix transit back to
initial harbour at 14kt during one week.
